Shouldn’t we focus on the ones that are true role models for our kids? If we pay more attention to the good, our kids will as well.

They are already people that our children look up to. It is something that we all need more of. Instead of focusing our attention on the athletes that do bad things, we need to start focusing on the ones who do more.

Even John Cena is part of the Make a Wish foundation and breast cancer awareness efforts. In fact, a lot of athletes do things for children’s hospitals, education, and illnesses. Michael Phelps works with children through a charity that he created. For instance, Ronda Rousey an American mixed martial artist donates money to help with mental health services. Walter Peyton was known as one of the sweetest players ever, but that does not mean that others are not also just as kind. The Players We Loveīoth male and female athletes are working hard to improve the quality of life for others. They are the ones we love to see perform well in the sports that they are a part of. They are the ones who give their time, their money, and more to the everyone. There are many who do party hard and celebrate their success in that way, but there are also athletes who strive to do good for the community, the world, and every charity that matters.

The good news is, it is not all about the bad. We hear about the athletes who are drinking, doing drugs, and even breaking the law. We hear about the drama, who has done what to whom, and how they all live it up in their big, lavish homes, throwing parties all the time. But at the end of the day, even the big names make mistakes so evaluating the actual signature is the best strategy.Most of the time, we hear bad things about the sporting world. COAs where a reputable company witnessed the item being signed are the most reliable (JSA Witnessed Protection Program, Beckett Witnessed, PSA/DNA In the Presence Of, Upper Deck, etc.). If you're going to focus on COA's, stick with the established ones for sports (Upper Deck, PSA/DNA, Beckett, Steiner, Tristar.

Just don't put any value in a Legends backing.īased on this and the Riggins post you made, I think you might want to focus more on the signatures and less on the COAs. I think this might be a limited edition art print by Andrew Goralski that was co-signed by Payton for the Pro Football HOF, in which case it should be authentic. That said, just like Global and other bad 'authenticators,' they occasionally slapped their name on legitimate pieces.
