How many less kids would be playing sport (to their detriment) if they did not have their "heroes" in the highest levels to look up to, and try to emulate?
I imagine that just about every kid who starts playing sport in Australia wants to end up being Adam Gilchrist/Chris Judd/ Lauren Jackson/etc etc.
