"Wrestlers are heroes to a lot of kids, who then naturally want to be like them. And the way to do that is by taking steroids--just like their heroes." --Mike Celizic (MSNBC Contributor)

Completely flawed.
If a kid admires a pro wrestler, chances are that the child doesn't know that it is a scripted sport, and doesn't know that their idols are steroid abusers, and as the child grows older they will realize that the WWE is scripted, and is not entirely real, and they will stop admiring profesisonal wrestlers.

Wrestlers may be heroes to many children and may want to be like them, however that does not mean that they are going to end being a pro wrestler. Mike Celizic I would believe is anti-pro wrestling to have made such a comment.
When a child wants to grow up to be a fireman does he/she start running into burning buildings? When the want to be a police officer when they grow up do they start going around making citizens arrests?
Just because you are a hero to a child does not mean that child is going to grow up and become what they dreamt about as a child.

I think he's right in what he is trying to say. We let our children watch these pumped up ,steriod using guys and let them call them 'hero' and let them want to be just like them when they grow up - which sadly means that a lot of them will turn to steroids to try and make themselves exactly like their 'hero'. Whatever happened to the values parents used to instill in their children and the old heroes like policemen, firemen and God? Our world is in a sad state and it's just gonna get worse!

It's false and flawed on all counts. If a kid's hereo is Batista, whose to say he's gonna end up taking steroids like Batista does.

im sure he worked on that one for the past couple of days. hahaha...its funny cuz people think wrestlers are juiced.
im sure his heroes snorted some blow to stay up for those late night contribution pieces...
you think someone like Johnny Nitro is using steroids? haha...or how about Jimmy Wang Yang...I hear Nunzio's a wrestler too right...Edge sure looks like hes a big ball of Roid Rage...
****** assholes man...just because someone has muscles and wrestles they have to be juiced...
I heard baseball's not to clean either...Football has alot of wifebeaters...Basketball, they sure do take it downtown...
