Nepotism Starts Early

Today high school All-Americans convene to San Antonio to play in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

The game started in 2000 and was the high school football version to the McDonald's All-Star game.

This is the game of course where high school recruits stand in front of a table with three hats of schools they might attend. Then they tell the world what school they will be attending. And people wonder why athletes are so jaded.

It starts earlier and earlier. Kids who haven't graduated high school yet are told how great they are at what they do. They get their butts kissed by everyone including, parents, coaches, announcers, and writers.

This is why so many athletes today feel a certain entitlement. They are told early they can do no wrong because they can run fast or catch a ball. They are simple meal tickets for people around them.

So when you see an athlete arrested, remember they can't do no wrong, because they were told so.
