1.1 how sport personalities are portrayed by the media and how the portrayed influence people.

Sports personalities in the media are usually portrayed in a positive way unless they have been involved in a scandal or have a rude attitude. Here is a list on how they are portrayed:

- as heroes ( especially for younger boys)

- as having super qualities ( being able to jump while shooting a ball)

- as being hardworking, fit, healthy, and in shape

- as being role models for the younger boys

- sometimes as being smart because they are college athletes

The way they are portrayed influence people in the biggest way ( usually young men) by them believing they can be a famous ballplayer like them. Making lots of money traveling the world and being a role model for younger guys. Of course this usually doesnt happen for most.
