I understand the reason behind it. I also understand the pride the kids must feel.
But I think it looks really creepy fully grown football players walking out of the tunnel holding hands with young strangers. Maybe it’s just me?? |

Yeah, just you. If you see any sexual context in adult holding youngster hand in public space you need to check your mindset |

I think you're sexualizing something that isn't remotely sexual.
I do get your point in that it's not particularly normal for a child to hold a male strangers hand, but I think you may be overthinking this.

Yeah, just you.
They're not really strangers. They don't just grab a random kid off the street you know. The parents are aware, it's a really awesome event for kids to be involved in being mascots (or whatever they call them these days) and it's a special day for them to walk on to the pitch with their sporting heroes.
Not creepy at all. |

Female strangers are ok though?! |

Some parents even pay for them to be mascots. Either directly or by paying for fan club memberships. |
