was just watching some nyjah raw and had an epiphany, not for the first time that nyjah's dad did him a service. and thomas the tank engine's dad is similarly setting the kid up to be rich and famous off of skateboarding. even if he resents it, even if he's scared and gets hurt, these kids will have a better life than any of us scrubs behind childhood sacrifice. and it's not like his dad is making him eat yogurt or lift weights. skating is fun already.
you can say 'oh i'd treat my kid with respect' as is your wont. but that's why nobody will remember your kids' name.
