To John and Louis,
It pains me to write this letter—not as a businessman, not as a consumer, but as your father.
When you both were young, I watched you fall in love with sports. Not for the fame, not for the money, but for the joy of the game—the teamwork, the spirit, the stories of perseverance. I thought that’s what drove you to build the Real Sports App. I was proud, at first. Two brothers using their talents to connect people with something they love. But what you’ve built now… it feels like a mockery of the values I hoped to instill in you.
You’ve taken people’s passion and turned it into a trap. Paywalls, deceptive "upgrades," constant ads, manipulative algorithms—it's no longer about serving the fan. It's about squeezing every dollar out of them. Have you forgotten who your users are? They're not just metrics or wallets. They're kids dreaming of sports glory, parents trying to follow their teams in between shifts, and lifelong fans hoping to feel part of something bigger.
I raised you to work hard, but never at the expense of your integrity. You’re no longer just building a business—you’re exploiting trust. And worst of all, you seem proud of it.
I don’t write this to shame you, but to remind you: Success without conscience is failure in disguise.
It's not too late to change. To fix what you've broken. To build something that respects the people who made your app possible in the first place.
But you have to choose. Right now, I see two brilliant sons who have lost their way. And as your father, nothing could disappoint me more.
Dad
