In other countries that's expected from athletes
I think it's only America that holds athletes to be these goody-two shoes and be perfect role models for their kids and never arrogant
Not true, other counties do the same to their athletes. Guys like Ronaldo, Zlatan, Balotelli, etc. have been drug through the mud by the media over the years. Zlatan even wrote about how he's been mistreated by the media in his book.
The only difference between the U.S. and other countries is that in other countries it's typically kept in the sports pages.
