buffaloboyinATL Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 As many here know, Snoop Dogg's son Cordell Broadus is a pretty good WR. Apparently he did not want to play football when he was 6 years old so Snoop gave him $2K to play. I know several parents who give cash incentives to their kids for achievements in sports like TD's or Home Runs. What do you think of this practice? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2320843-snoop-dogg-paid-his-son-how-much-to-play-football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Family money spent on family fun.That is how I look at it too. Snoop was going to give his kid the money anyway, might as well use it to reward behavior you are trying to encourage. A friend of mine has recently offered his 11 year old son, who needs to drop some weight, $5 per pound lost, or $500 to lose 20 pounds. Shouldn't have to bribe our kids to do the right thing, but I can see why people do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes as adults we just have to stop living our own dreams through innocent children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Pegula should interview Snoop for the HC job. or GM if he can get more people to play for $2,000. Maybe our new football guru? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Not surprisingly, Jimmy Sexton was Cordell's agent at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who goes into any art, music, or writing related career needs to learn that lesson. If you don't, everyone will try to get you to work for "exposure".

Plus the article didn't mention that Snoop Dogg was charging his son $275 a month for room and board without utilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Snoop's son can play too!! He isn't just a famous person's kid that is getting a shot. He played in the UA All-American game last weekend and is the 123 recruit in the country (12th WR I believe). They compared him to Michael Thomas at OSU (Keyshawn's nephew). Snoop's son has narrowed it down to UCLA, ASU and Arizona I think that I saw. Edited January 7, 2015 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
