For the Flowers brothers from Eugene, Oregon, sports is a family affair. But they differ on the definition of the sport. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Aaron Flowers plays defensive back for No. 2 Oregon in American football, while his younger brother Benji Flowers was developed by the renowned FC Dallas soccer academy and recently signed a deal with Chelsea.
Benji, now 15, will join the Premier League team when he turns 18. Until then, he will continue to work on his game in Texas. He became the youngest player to sign a professional contract with the senior team.
