Yea this video is a couple of days old, get over it.
Probably a lot easier to convince the kid if he hadn't been busy watching the Red Sox go 0-5 over the past few days, huh buddy? Kids are as fair weather as they get, they just don't know any better.
As a father of a son this has to be your worst fear right? Like how do you strike that delicate balance between imposing your will on your child, brainwashing them to share your interests, while not coming across as to forceful or pushy to the point where they rebel against you and choose the team you hate the most?
I think this guy has nailed a pretty good plan (0-5 start aside). Set out your disappointment in the kid early and turn the rest of the family against him. Instead of shoving the team down his throat at a young age, you make it their only real choice for love and acceptance. You want stuff like the affection and approval of your father, and maybe dinner once in a while? You know which team to root for.
Definitely the approach I'm going to take in the future. Leave that child pining for attention and acceptance, not the other way around...and yea you probably won't win any father of the year awards using this method. But at least you won't come home to your son wearing a Robinson Cano t-shirt jersey with Jim Kay on in the background.
