A headline about two very young ‘influencers’ has been breaking a few brains and making people feel ancient
We’re not sure how young you have to be to have heard of 12-year-old youth American footballer Baby Gronk or his fellow influencer, seven-year-old The Rizzler, but a headline about the pair of them recently highlighted who’s definitely too old.
Baby Gronk has called out The Rizzler to a boxing match.

Right well this is the headline that has officially put me out to pasture. My time is done. Tuck me in with a mug of Horlicks and a nice song from my youth to comfort me, I’ll slip away peacefully as am apparently 107 years old. https://t.co/3VNn2GcH9Z

On a more serious note –
Child influencers really need the same (very few) protections that child actors have cause why did anyone involved let this literal child challenge another kid to a fight like it's an unsupervised playground after school https://t.co/mVtDtUlB9A
