Summary
Later that day, Eddie went to that teen’s father, Mike, to ask him why he wasn’t at the game, however, when he got to the mechanics where the father worked, he was bleeding from the hand. Eddie ran over and said, “Woah, let me take a look at that”.
Mike: “What are you, a doctor”.
Eddie: “Firefighter actually”.
Once Eddie patched up Mike’s wounds, he brought him to a bench to sit down.
Eddie: “You think your son being a cheerleader makes him weak”.
Eddie knows how awful Mike’s son must feel, because he too was belittled by his father when he was younger for not being the “man of the house”. When Mike told Eddie the reason why he didn’t want his son to be a cheerleader, it was like something clicked in Eddie’s brain. He remembered a memory that his parents specifically tried to repress.
