This week, we once again look at the question of just how young is too young to force your child to be a bread winning, family supporting professional athlete. I think we can now safely say that 13 might be the answer. She burst on to the international tennis scene as a 7th grader, and quickly took the world by storm. She also began to hate her forced profession, and all that surrounded it, leading to years of problems & resentment. After a major career comeback, an injury forces her into a weird, dark place called "retirement", and a whole new round of problems!!
Come out of the womb holding a tennis racquet, be a world famous hero by age 13, then go mainly downhill from there with Jennifer Capriati!!
Check us out, every Tuesday!
We will continue to bring you the biggest idiots in sports history!!

2:53.0 | Also, you can be a hero of ours, if you'd like, over on our website.

We have quite the, quite the volume of episode to get to here. It's a lady. Yeah. Like we said, it's a lady. It is what I'm going to call she's like a toddler in a jet. One of these things where you're like, oh, no, she never had a chance. Just just a pawn of her of her parents. |
3:44.0 | And this is a kind of wanted to show from the other side like we showed what happens with Todd Morinovich. And that's with football lets you. |
3:54.0 | Football, there's there's rules as far as you can't play at this level, took her this age or you know, you have to play. It's stupid. The NCAA rules. But you can't just go into the NFL at 15. |
4:04.0 | Even if you're the greatest athlete that ever lived in your 350 pounds, it doesn't matter. You're not allowed to play in the NFL at 15. Whereas if you're say a tennis player, you can be pro. Well, now there's rules because of shit like this. But you could just be pro at any time. |
4:19.0 | They could pull you out of the out of the womb. Stick a racket in your hand and be like, any good. She's got sponsors and they'll put you the fuck out there on television. If there's a princess willing to sponsor you for the rackets or whatever. |
4:31.0 | And Serena were pretty young too when they started, right? I believe so, but not like this. Not like Jennifer Capriotti. Oh, we're going to talk about her. Yeah, kind of everybody knows who she is because she especially if you're either American or Italian. Also because in Italy, she was a fucking. |
4:48.0 | She was like, well, she's American, but she was like the Beatles when she went there because it's an athlete with an Italian last name. I don't know if you guys realize this. |
4:56.0 | But there's not a lot of Italian athletes who are great nowadays. That makes sense. So we really, we just latch on to anything we can. I mean, it's back in the day. It was great. We had the Maggio. We had a few guys like that. Marciana Rocky, Marciano made me someone else who retired on defeated heavyweight champion. |
5:21.0 | It's hard to maybe one. There isn't that's why. Well, boxing was plenty in the mid century there. Basically, whatever group is downtrodden. There, those are the boxers. So in the 30s and 40s and 50, plenty of Italian boxers. And then they kind of got a little better off. And they were replaced with Spanish boxers. |
5:39.0 | That's how it works. And eventually they'll be replaced with I don't know whatever else comes next. Just Kenyan boxers always or I don't know Sri Lankan Bogger, whoever decides to come here and mass next. That's all that's, but that's the way it works. |
