Some people make the mistake of asking people like Maradona, Best, Gascoigne, Beckham, Rooney etc to be role models. Astronomically Build them up only to throw them aside the moment they realise they are what we all are, flawed and imperfect humans.
All top level sports has people or teams who either cheat to keep ahead or on some cases just stay competitive and it's covered up at every level there is to keep the machine rolling.
If we're pointing to high paid sports stars as role models for our children then it's us that's flawed as well as them. I'd never point to a football player, Marcus Rashford aside, as a role model.
Maradona was a footballer and an entertainer..he loved to dance on the pitch with a ball.. he was simply majestic. I'd rather remember that than any thing else tbh.
