Yes the fact that sports figures are often low class pigs isn’t a news flash.
I was around it in my early twenties with the Miami Dolphins. My first husband and I socialized with some of them and it was a real turnoff to me.
Took my son to spring training. While at a game he met a boy who was sitting with his dad in the first row above the dugout, and my son got to go sit with them - essentially right next to the players. When we got back we were playing catch in the front yard and he asked me if I had ever wanted to be a professional baseball player. I said, “Yes, definitely”. He asked “Doesn't it take all your time in order to make it?” I said “It definitely takes a lot of time and dedication.” He said “That explains a lot. When I was listening to the players talking they sounded just like my third grade class.”
