sports figures
Professional athletic competitors
Sports figures are athletes, coaches, and other prominent personalities in professional or amateur athletics.
The term encompasses anyone whose fame derives primarily from sports—players, managers, commentators, team owners.
Sports figures often become celebrities beyond their games, appearing in advertisements, political campaigns, and entertainment.
The phrasing treats them as public figures subject to media scrutiny.
