Imagine the shame it would bring on two fine footballing houses.
The names Rooney and Ronaldo, forged through years of consistent excellence at the highest level of European football, muddied by the impetuosity of youth.
Take all your medals, all your golden boots, all your goal-scoring records and throw them in the bin, because the family legacy has been destroyed by the foolishness of your own kin.
This is the fate that awaits former Manchester United team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney if they can't knock sense into their scions.
Both men are currently the subject of significant documentaries - Gary Lineker narrated a BBC documentary to mark Rooney breaking Bobby Charlton's England goal-scoring record, while Ronaldo's movie is released in cinemas next week.
Both men give insights into their pursuit of footballing excellence, but the more revealing elements involve the footage with their families.
Unfortunately for the global superstars this footage has given the world a window on the sick predilections of their first born sons.
Both Kai Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, sons of football royalty, wish to be goalkeepers.
Understandably their respective fathers are horrified at their sons' bizarre habits and instantly do their best to discourage them.
Our thoughts are with Wayne and Cristiano at this difficult time.
