Athletes asked of too much

Being an athlete draws a lot of attention to yourself. Especially if you are Michael Jordan or LeBron James. When someone like Michael Jordan becomes famous they expect them to do things they are not educated in. For example many were upset when MJ would not support a candidate for Senate from North Carolina. Why? Why should he have to pick to endorse someone? I thought his job was to play basketball not to speak politics. If Michael Jordan wanted to be involved in politics then he would have gone to school for it. Getting someone involved in something they are not educated in can be hurtful because they may not have a clue on what they should say. If giving money to various charities is not enough than people have high standards and expect WAY tooooo much from athletes. What about going to speak to sick children or help co host an event? Athletes do their fair share of those activities. It only makes sense to have someone involved in something they are educated in. It seems that politicians or organizations are maybe trying to use athletes; “If Michael Jordan is supporting me than so should you” type thing. I do believe sometimes athletes are asked of too much sometimes. And it is always the famous athletes who are getting criticized. They are human too, they have families and life’s to live outside of their sport. There is only so much that someone can do. There are bigger things in life to worry about people.
