a cool article in kid's sports magazine says athletes are role models. i agree! it's heartbreaking for kids to learn that our heroes are cheaters. if players do steroids, send them to prison! they deserve to be punished for making us look stupid for cheering for them.

it is effective. it supports the claim clearly and logically.
it is emotional. it expresses personal feelings that cannot be backed with research.
