As far as the media, they latch onto all of the bad stories, and rarely do you hear about the good deeds done by professional athletes.

At least here in Seattle, they love running stories about the great things that athletes are doing. Some of it is quite impressive, and it gives me a great feeling about the sport. You are right - with all the scandals, it's easy to forget about the athletes who are trying to be role models and help their communities.
