Document Summary

Or why we think they do. Their place in our social and historical worlds as heroes or roles models is fluid, important, and confusing. They exist as a disposal commodity, bought and sold in a free market system. We often equate and / or rank them with material consumption. Their body images signify success, power, control, and sexuality. We hold them to different ethical standards than non-athlete / stars. Their action on and off the field of play are some interest to us. They create and sustain shifts in fashion and distinction. Their lives (and their ideals, inspiration, human faults) come to us through hegemonic media. They are perceived as lucky regardless of our perceptions of the level of work involved to achieve their status. They are early-socialized to fill the role and often live insular lives away from the everyday challenges known to non-athlete stars. Their true lives (inclusive of values, choices, and actions) are mostly unknown to us.
