American Athletics: The American Hero Today

Athletes at both the collegiate and professional levels receive great admiration from many members of society. Some athletes are outstanding role models for young and old alike, while others do not perform as well under the spotlight. Why do people idolize individuals whose contribution to society is in the realm of an athletic achievement, while other individuals who make laws, save lives, educate, or serve others are often left unnoticed? This program examines the role of athletes in society today and the economic impact of their status. Featured on the program are: Bonnie Blair, Olympic Gold Medalist speed skater; Chris Zorich of the Chicago Bears; and Allen Page, former NFL all-pro and current Minnesota State Supreme Court Justice. (29 minutes)
