He was kind of taking a moral position against it while spreading his seed all willie nillie across the great plains. Kind of hypocritical
He barely knew the child existed and seemed to find out about him during training camp time . It's presumptuous to say hey come move with me when the lady had a life and bf . I doubt he knew the kids life was in danger and assumed he could meet him later . Let's stop acting like he had to drop everything to meet his b*stard kid that the mother kept hidden from him or maybe he did try but they couldn't make the Schedules match upbreh he is mullti-millionaire, he could have seen him whenever he wanted...there is no excuses
And he cared even a lil, he would have known who is around his child or who lives with his child and what kind of situation that he is in
What does that have to do with anything ??? That's completely irrelavant the man is a athlete not the pope . The bible also says not to cast stones So mushnick and you and ap all wrong

Horrible column, written by a horrible columnist, provided by a horrible news outlet.
How did this guy even have the nerve to write this?
Sounds like half the posters that post here....You didn't peep the original thread about AP and his seed?

"if" he were white. But he's not. Racial tones or not, these stories have familiar faces.
Steve Jobs and AP look nothing alike...........................................Oh wait?

I've seen different stories about when he found out about this kid, but if he really found out during training camp, you think he had time to be in south Dakota to be building a happy family? You think he even told his GF/wife about this situation? I've known men in that situation and they didn't come home the next day a break the news to their S/O, it took some of them years to tell. Men find out about kids all the time and don't build relationships off bat for a number of reasons - some don't care, they're involved and don't want to ruin their relationship, they don't live in the same area, career in the way, etc. This isn't the way "things are supposed to go" but it's life.
AP is supposed to keep her from dating people when he's involved, living in another state, and busy being on the road as an athlete? How often you think he even speaks to that woman, how does he know what the fukk was going on? He's supposed to take custody of a kid he had outside his relationship? Does he even know the woman was stupid and messing with a dangerous dude? Did he even have time to work thru his feeling about having another kid...nikkas get girls pregnant and cant wrap their heads around it in that nine months, a woman popping up with your kid outta no where is an even bigger mindfukk. The media ran with the sob story and unfortunately it's clear AD ain't really even have a relationship with dude, maybe he shoulda lied and played the part, maybe he should've conjured some tears and fronted for the cameras, but the hard reality is this is how shyt goes sometimes, he just happens to be an athlete whose business cannot be kept in house.
Edit: and this story isn't a black thing, a lot of white career men have kids elsewhere that they rarely, if ever, see/claim. This is nothing more than a public figure vs unknown situation where private life doesn't stay private

No he wouldn't have, there are men in their kids' lives where the woman is dealing with suspect men and he doesn't know - same way men can go out and deal with women and have kids their SO doesn't know abt, especially at an age before a child can communicate whether anything is wrong
And he cared even a lil, he would have known who is around his child or who lives with his child and what kind of situation that he is in

As usual people talking as if they know the whole story. Y'all don't, and y'all need to realize that.

Some of y'all MFs have the nerve to actually blame AP in this kids death?
The dude who killed an innocent child should be the blame. Many people are glossing over this.

Finally......someone who has experienced a lil bit of life......Even if AP knew for the past 3 months about the kid, there is no way he could just jump feet first in this thing blindly.....You gotta break it down to your family at home and figure out how to deal with the fallout.....If the family can come to terms with it, now I got to get my legal team involved and decide on custody\financial assistance, after that is square, then I can start working on a relationship with the boy......Things like this are a process.....sometimes a long one

I guess he could have had a better idea about his child's surroundings, had he actually went down there to visit him but I guess he didnt have time for that

Yall pulled the race card faster than the speed of light, this author shyts on everybody. turn it down a little, damn.
Agreed.
Word. Just like I could've seen my kid whenever I wanted when his mother was withholding him from me, ignoring my calls/texts/emails, and threatening to call the police when I showed up to her crib.
And he cared even a lil, he would have known who is around his child or who lives with his child and what kind of situation that he is in
Then I had to take her to court, which was an 8 months process.
My point is that there is an 85% chance that AP handled everything improperly, but we don't know that for sure, so we are premature in calling him a deadbeat or asking why he didn't know what the child's living situation was like.
