Default Why did the practice of youth/ academy/U23 players cleaning senior one's boots end

I felt the boot cleaning tradition of the youngsters kept them grounded and not too prima Donna esque. Now we see big time Charlie types at under 22 year olds with bad attitudes and bad bling. Rather than cleaning the boots of senior players they get boot line deals. Januzaj's attitude is ridiculous, he thinks he's Messi the way he carries on. A bit of boot polishing humility would not do any harm, even if he's OLDER than Luke Shaw.
