what do you think are the disadvantages of being a sports celebrity?

Getting injured would be a disadvantage because if you don't get to play, you don't get to earn. Also there's a sort of "expiration date" in the sense that younger and more fresh athletes would come into the scene, and you get pushed away from the limelight until people forget you.

I think it depends on how you use your status. I agree that their privacy is a big disadvantage but they also have a big advantage over ordinary people. Like what was said in spiderman "Great power comes with great responsibility". They can use their popularity to good use like inspiring other people to a good life, helping communities, be a good role model to others. Sometimes they just have to accept the fact that they are public figures. Another disadvantage maybe is when they do something wrong, even if it is normal for other people it is like put in the microscope (it tends to be such a big issue). And another could be people with bad intention spread rumors about you. It is always like you have to prove your innocent rather than them prove your guilty.
