Children say that famous athletes rank second only to parents (92%) and on par with their

teachers (72%) as the people they admire most. Both boys and girls name professional or

Olympic athletes as among the people they say they "look up to or want to be like" (73%). Ten

to 17-year-olds name famous athletes much more frequently than other celebrity figures, such as

TV/move stars (56%) or rock/rap musicians (32%). Sports junkies name famous athletes (91%)

as often as their parents (92%) when asked who they "look up to or want to be like."

How have strikes and lockouts affected professional sports?

Lockouts have many affects in professional sports. For one, seasons are shortened or lost and therefore the fans can't see their favorite athletes in action. Of course that causes a lot of money to be lost because tickets aren't being sold and there aren't any tv ratings without televised games. Also, professional athletes have lost a tad bit of their competitive edge because they aren't competing on a daily basis.
