Ric Flair 30 For 30: 15 Things We Learned
7. David Flair Is Haunted By His Upbringing
One of the doc's more sober moments came when David Flair was asked about how his father's debauchery affected his upbringing.
David candidly said, "I do get angry when I do think about it like, 'What are you doing? Why would you do that or wanna live like that?' I think you can be great at what you do, but as a husband and a father, how could you ever neglect your kids like that? And having kids now, that's tough. I don't want my kids to grow up the way I did, that's for sure."
It's clear from David's stoic demeanour that his father's absence has had a significant impact on him, but at least he seems committed not to repeat his mistakes.
