yeah, but the guy carrying the football makes tons more money, has more fans, and a higher approval rating, and more people watch him than watch the president speak.

So, are you saying that the government can use minimum age requirements while telling a private corporation that it can't use minimum age requirements?

How many government schools use minimum age requirements for starting kindergarten? My 3 year old cannot attend school even if he can read and is smarter than all of the 7 year olds.

The government also sets minimum age requirements on social security. Sure there are exceptions, but everybody else has to wait until they are old enough to get the money.

Can I sue the government to allow my 3 year old to go to school? Can I sue the government to force them to pay me social security because I could really use the money? It sure would be nice if my 14 year old could drive and run errands for me, but he doesn't meat the minimum age requirement either.

How dare Leagues set a minimum age requirement in pro sports! Only the government gets to do that sort of thing.
