Reply #31: Can you rebut the other part of my comment?

Or are you fighting an opinion with little more than ill advised rhetoric?

No one's asking them to raise my children, but there is no reason at all that these players, while on their employer's time, can't dress in a way befitting of a professional. I don't believe in the whole "role model" argument much either - that's a parent's job - but you also can't possibly pretend kid's don't try to imitate their favorite players. And if I don't like it, I do have the right to withold my money from them, which is apparently something that the NBA has taken to heart.
