As the father of a 7 year old who was stuck inside from last fall til spring… the power/addiction of video games/youtube watching blindsided me.
I am trying to balance letting him find his own interests vs telling him… you cant do this or that. Reminding myself of how much my father absolutely hated motocross (for safety reasons) but still let me do it (on my own dime).
After 6 days of baseball a week since March and now day camp I am starting to recognize him again… the pre-pandemic kid who plays every game as hard as he can… vs the kid that looks and me and says… “I don’t wanna go outside.. I just want to play Minecraft.”
To be clear… I have nothing against video games… everything in moderation though.
There was no silver spoon and his post the other day says it all...he stated roughly 'i never had any of this stuff as a kid' in reference to Haiden's sweet new supermini.
Unhappy people will talk trash about anyone. I personally think that the only losers in amateur racing are the dads that push too much, yelling and screaming and forgetting the point. This is not them at all...not even close.
Face. Palm.
As I made clear to anyone who reasons, not feels, my beef is with a father who diminished his 7 year old son by cheating on his behalf and then threw him under the bus by having him, on social media blame a fictitious stand in mechanic who happened to fit a fat top end that just happened to be with the race parts- and then sent goons to intimidate the guy who made the found protest.
Is that good, worthy, fatherly behaviour?
I wish Haiden all the best.
Pit Row
Btw, when they got caught, he had like a 51cc (last bore on piston) in the 50cc class, it was bad but far to be as bad as some people may think. There must be much much worse around, but most people are not scrutinized as they are.
If not, feel free to explain why he has a million + subcribers if he is such a hated d-bag. Deegan will have the longest autograph line in the pits and will be heavily cheered for the next decade.
I also like that Reed and his kids are getting along well with them, it is a cool story and it is also enjoyable to continue to see Reedy.
