Joe Kennedy was famous for this, making it clear to his nine children that they were expected to compete with one another in athletics and were expected to win, lest they be made to eat in the kitchen with the help, rather than in the dining room with the family.
Joe Kennedy je bio poznat po tome, dajući do znanja svojim devetero djece da se očekuje od njih da se natječu  jedni s drugima u atletici i da se očekuje da pobijede, kako ne bi jeli u kuhinji s poslugom umjesto u blagovaonici s obitelji.
