I think that's missing a few important elements, like later modest success in a capitalist context leaving someone with some land and capital and all the reactionary material interests that go along with that. There's also increasing evidence that high school (and college, and professional) football inevitably results in personality-altering brain damage as just a normal and inevitable part of it, even without big discrete impacts or diagnosed concussions, which can further increase the risk factor for fascist brainworm infections when it goes along with other risk factors like a loss of special good boy status or land and business ownership.
