Promoting a healthy lifestyle should be the job of these as they will be role models.. Being a role model while not looking after yourself isn't very good for the next generation. Also I wonder how much money Riot spent in achieving this. I think you're assuming athletes or celebrities WANT to be role models. Sure some do but some don't. It's not their fault if some kid looks up to them and emulates their shit behavior if they never asked to be a role model in the first place. Their job is to practice, play, win, and earn sponsors money, not to be some beacon of perfection to impressionable youth. If some want to take up that torch they're welcome to, but expecting people who didn't sign up to be role models to change is silly. | ||

Riot doesn't have special powers or the ability to control the US government. It would be like the NFL trying to get that title of athlete taken away from golfers, which sounds fucking stupid. | ||
