Francis may have gotten his first job as an intern because of family connections, but there’s no chance he has survived over 20 years in the ruthlessly competitive and unsentimental field of sports media because he’s part of some old boys club. Not when many other well-connected professionals in the field are laid off every year.

Love him or hate him (and the people who sign his cheques genuinely don’t care which), Francis has a job because he drives engagement. And, like pretty much everyone else still in his field these days, he’s content making not very much money.
