Cocky Athletes

So I realized (and when I say realized I mean actually thought about this in depth because I already knew I felt this way) the other day how much I can't stand cocky jocks. They walk around in their fashionable apparel as if they are the coolest thing since sliced bread. Well, as much as I detest this attitude, I am responsible for contributing to it. I, the lover of sports more than anything else, treat these athletes as if they are God's gift to the world. Why do I do this? I get caught up in that world of athletics, the skill these athletes put forth in their respective sports. What is to be done about this? I have no idea. When people are practically worshipping the ground they walk on, athletes are bound to be cocky. This being said, I have great respect for those athletes who can still be humble amidst all the show of fanfare. You few, keep leading your normal lives and give us reason to hope for the rest of your kind.
