Do Great Athletes Have to Be Good People?
Rising sports media star Katie Nolan, Johnny Manziel's agent Erik Burkhardt, TMZ Sports Executive Producer Even Rosenblum, and Los Angeles Rams COO Kevin Demoff will discuss the intersection of personal ethics, fandom, and commerce in sports. In this era of immediate reporting and expectations of transparency and authenticity, how should we all think about a celebrity athlete's personal character and off-field behavior? Executives and agents are navigating a new set of risks. The media amplifies the stories and may even have a responsibility to do so. And fans may hold the ultimate trump card: the choice of whether or not to care about anything beyond how their teams perform on the field.
