There has been a little bit of a ruckus going on in the sports world.

Over in the NBA, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry faced some surprising backlash for bringing his cute-beyond-words daughter Riley to a postgame news conference. Apparently, some in the working media got annoyed that their questions were getting hijacked by Steph's little girl.

Well, here's something that shouldn't shock anyone: NBA players aren't alone. It turns out, NFL players also enjoy bringing their tykes to the stadium. Observe the following:

Chris Maragos came off a huge win in Super Bowl XLVIII, but still found time to cuddle one his two sons:

Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams got loose before a wild-card game last season. His daughter Rhiya also got her stretching in:

There's cute and then there's Marcedes Lewis' daughter Londyn:

Andy Dalton's son Noah kept an eye out for any approaching paparazzi:

Joe Thomas' daughter Logan looks so tiny in her dad's arms:
