Samoan Athletes

What are your thoughts on Samoan athletes?
Because of the nature and the culture in America (and New Zealand), our most visible ambassadors good or bad are our Samoan athletes. They have become the most powerful role models for our young generation. What they say and do impacts our most vulnerable and populous segment of our community, the young generation. While we wish our most educated leaders should be in those position, the media has elevated athletes and entertainers as powerful models in pop culture and the now generation. What are the positive and maybe the negative impact of such phenomena. Do parents share the responsibility of guiding their children to instill in them the values of having role models in education, law, medicine, entrepenuers, business people? We welcome your opinion.
