Is chris simms the greatest example of nepotism in recent history? ***Arch Manning pending***

[Rekkapryde]

Mediocre players seem to make better coaches and evaluators for some reason.

Indeed, but even his personality comes off as just a chill regular dude who doesn't take himself seriously.

 

[Standing on business]

He’s carved out a solid nba career

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Saul Smith

Bronny

Even though I doubt he is really THAT interested in basketball as a career.

I dont blame him one bit either

 

[PortCityProphet]

Jack Collinsworth

 

[Bigblackted4]

Canelo brothers

 

[Swagnificent]

Jack Collinsworth

This.

Did this cac even play football? How he gets these opportunities is bs.

Chris Simms actually played and is s good analyst. Collingworth's son is pure nepotism.

Bronny James no question. Wouldn’t start for Rutgers




Everyone knows I’m a big Lebron fan but Bron was foul for pushing his kid into the league when he’s generationally wealthy already

Im not sure it was "foul" but it certainly wasn't merited based. Its not much different than what most wealth families do tho.

Ask George H.W, George W. or Jeb Bush
Or Donald Trump
Or any son of someone with 10M+

For some reason we (Americans) only seem to give a shxt when its sport teams. Life for most people isnt about whats right. Its about what you can get away with.

its because in sports its very obvious if someone is not competent at highest level, you cant even pretend because you stand out in a bad way

all those white collar jobs you can try to pretend to be competent while someone does your work for you

no such thing in sports

Its not obvious because no one gives a fuk about corporate and most have an abnormally large give a damn about entertainment they dont have an equity stake in. Its pretty obvious when you pay attention.

Who got upset when 2 of Jordan's kids got high level jobs for the Jordan brand (which is owned by Nike, a publically traded company) and another one opened a High end Sneaker Boutique?

Those kids werent qualified for upper management positions, they weren't experienced enough to operate a brick and mortar business. Why did they get investment capital when the average man wouldnt?

Whats the difference between that and nepobaby athletes? You dont own either organization and those nepo hires dont interrupt business.

what the hell are you babbling on about ?

I just told you in very simple terms

half (or more) of corporate jobs are via networking, ass kissing, nepotism and corporate ladder climbing etc. NOT merit

in sports esp at the highest level almost everyone is there because of merit. there is a huge gap between a pro NBA/NFL/MLB/NHL athlete and some random guy off the street who happens to be a relative of an athlete.

and it will be PAINFULLY OBVIOUS when a regular guy gets on the court/field/pitch and cant do basic shyt like shoot without getting blocked, shooting a bare minimum acceptable %, having accuracy on throws/pitches, etc etc

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Simms was better than Arch is now....he just played like shyt in big games but he gave you enough to where you could "understand" why he was hyped.

Put it this way: 2001 Simms would beat 2001 Kansas-type squads while Arch might struggle in every 2001 Big 12 game, even the gimmies.

This. If Bronny had put up a cool 12-15ppg on a decent percentage in college on like Valparaiso or DePaul then made it to the league as a late second rounder then whatever.

Throwing your son on the squad so you can have a photo op is goofy and something no NBA player has done before. Jordan could’ve had Marcus starting for the Bulls lol.

But that type of arrogance is what made LeBron one of the goats and a billionaire so what do I know lol.
