I mention it as I remembered seeing a player talk about it in an postgame interview where there had been some scuffle/incident in the crowd - it stood out to me as this wasn’t something that had occurred to me before (on the account of me not being a pro athlete with young family in the stands). This player wasn’t complaining but was just saying they were checking their family was ok.

I did though get a laugh out of your suggestion that in order to be more self-sufficient they should hire someone to do it for them.

I'm sure it happens, just as I am sure the player can provide for his own family. And yes, hiring your own employee and not expecting your company to take care of something for you is being self-sufficient. You want to eat better food, buy something. You want better security for your family, hire it. I do not understand the perceived need to provide these athletes with every single thing for free.
