That’s fair enough, but there’s no support or complacency about the current labour industry in this post. It’s just some guy who has a hard labour intensive job got noticed/appreciated and a good thing is happening for him.

Though potentially unintended, your comment (at least to me) came off as though you don’t see how this coal miner likely has one of the hardest jobs out of the people there, and he still put in the extra effort to rush to this game with his son. You focused on “why is he getting special treatment” which somewhat misses the point.
