Because, apart from a very small minority, they act, speak and behave as fools.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, etc...

Though my personal position is irrelevant, let's just say I'm not american and I am doing what I enjoy.

You don't need to insult athletes, especially since you don't know them, so how can you judge them based on random media coverage alone? Maybe they can't string together sentences because of nerves in front of a camera while being questioned, or because their PR people tell them what to say and what not to say. Every single word they spout gets coverage, anything that can be a story, WILL be a story. That's more nerve-wracking than performing at a sport you excel at.
