It’s shown as a joke, but a woman smacks a man on the ass without his consent.

Michael’s mother chooses her drug addiction over her children, so in this sense he is abandoned. He is taken into foster care and while he still has a tenuous relationship with her, he is homeless and on his own at the beginning of the movie.

At the beginning of the movie, there is an info section about why the left tackle is an important position in football by showing Joe Theismann's horrific injury with Lawrence Taylor falling onto his leg and completely snapping it.

A child's estranged father dies offscreen. We are never introduced to the father, but the child is told of his death in the beginning of the movie.

The first mention of a death in the movie is Michael’s father, whom he has no relationship with but is notified as next of kin.

There is a lot of very prejudiced racist comments from rich white people. Someone refers to a black boy as “coloured”.

From what I remember they discuss stuff thats important to the plot in those scenes while doing that stuff, so you can't even skip it without missing out on some of the plot

Blood from a car accident - someone’s arm has lacerations, and a child has blood on their face and shirt.
