Football

In every sport I’m watching the kids and grandkids of people I watched play and coach forty years ago. Especially in the NHL. These NFL guys are trained for these positions since they’re single digit children, working their way up from ball boy, to intern, to position coach and eventually to coordinator and head coach. And that’s if they’re not good enough to play pro themselves, which many of them do.

It’s not like they’re just sticking these guys in there purely because they’re related, they’ve had decades long apprenticeships in many cases. I don’t see any reason not to get your kids or nephews or whatever in there and I really have no problem with it. It’s not any different than any other family business. I have tons of guys in my union who are third and fourth generation. There’s just more of a spotlight on jobs in pro sports.
