they are some weird fuckers, then DuPonts ; the one killed that wrestler guy ;
"John E. du Pont was American royalty as a member of the family behind the du Pont chemical company. His family raised thoroughbred horses on their 800-acre farm in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, where a young du Pont wandered the grounds obsessing over birds and wildlife — a small refuge from an isolated childhood.
Inside his mansion, du Pont was an incredibly lonely child. His father was rarely at home and his siblings, who were far older than him, barely acknowledged that he was alive. The only friend he thought he had was the son of his chauffeur – although, in time, du Pont would find out that his mother had paid the boy to pretend to like him. It didn’t help that, innately, du Pont was eccentric to say the least.
He later earned a doctorate in natural sciences and founded the Delaware Museum of Natural History. But still desperate for a sense of value in his life, du Pont turned to wrestling. He had tried other sports too, like swimming and a pentathlon, for which he even earned a spot on the 1976 Olympic team.
He had lost both testicles after an injury in a horse riding accident and contact sports like wrestling were forbidden to him growing up. The injury may also have compounded his crippling insecurity and need to compensate. Regardless, or perhaps in part because of this, du Pont wanted to be as involved in the sport as possible."
