tradgedy for AP?

[CaptainMusky]

"I steadfastly assert that every man who impregnates a woman bears a degree of moral responsibility for that child's life regardless of whether he knows of the child's existence or not."

You are saying that a man has moral responsibility for something in which he may know nothing about. Can you explain to me just how this happens? How could someone be a "man" and fulfill his responsibilities for said offspring if he doesn't know they exist?

Magic?

You don't find it abnormal that a guy who just lost his biological son to a horrible tragedy/murder isn't in deep mourning and is even considering playing in a football game?

Considering AP's history of playing to cope, no, it's not abnormal at all.

Everyone mourns differently... lucky for us we're not in the public spotlight all the time when we're grieving.

TMZ is reporting 5 kids with 4 different women. Common man was calling him all night yesterday.

These guys are phenomenal athletes, but few are phenomenal role models.

The part that burns me is that the reports focussing on these "other" children are taking focus away from what the real story is.

I'm with Zep. Entertainment value only for me, I could care less how many ol' ladies they got pregnant.

It is amazing to me how he turned out considering everything that has gone on in his life.

Now this? How do you move on when its your own child? I cannot even imagine what he must be going through.

I hope he recovers and that rat bastard gets what's coming to him for doing this!!!!

Yup! It was always about the tragedy of the child.

[CaptainMusky]

Nice that you cherrypicked my posts, but you are misinterpretting "who" I hope recovered. Those comments were made PRIOR to the child dying. So the comment "I hope he recovers" was directed toward the child not Peterson.

How about answering my question from above? I'm not surprised you avoided it considering how ridiculous your comment was. Carry on.

AP reacted just as any sperm donor would.   Little emotion involved.    Tragedy for AP?   Considering what is now known, hardly.    The title of the post should be changed to “Tragedy for Groupie Hoochie mom that AP once hooked up with"

The old school hunter ethics/morals dictated that the hunter be sure of his target and avoid taking the shot if people or property are in the line of fire (should the shot be errant). The man-crush logical system would say it's okay to decide to take the shot at the buck with children playing in the background. In the event the shot misses the intended target, the hunter is exempted from any ethical/moral responsibility for what the bullet hits by avoiding finding out where the bullet went. Your "didn't know" logic seemed fallacious enough that it answered your question without my response.

I'm with Dtro... When I started this thread, I assumed it was AP jr... With that said, it is a huge tradgedy for the child's family... not so much for AP. Not that he wouldnt have some grief, but it's hardly a tradgedy when he had never met him.

Way too prevelent in pro sports... the continuation of fatherless families. (I get it is not a pro athlete phenomonon) It is a culure that slowly degrades our society. SO yes I care. I mentor kids from fatherless families. It in not as innocent as it seems. Throwing money at the mother of the child is little recourse. The children need to be Fathered. If he has time to hop in the wrapper with the Babes, he has time to be in his kids life.

I care less about the 'value' of APs entertainment, than I do about some little kid getting killed. I care less about his value as a RB in the NFL, than I do if becomes a DAD to each of the kids he helped bring into the world...

People ripped on Travis Henry and Shawn kemp for doing the same thing because they weren't Golden Boys like AP...

Good Luck!

have I or anyone ever said he is exempt from his moral responsibility? I surely have not. Creating a baby and wounding someone from an errant shot is a heckuva correlation. If you take the shot and injure someone you should be held responsible. But if the person is injured and never seeks medical attention or reports the problem are you to just go knocking on doors to make sure you have never hurt someone with your "errant" shot?

Just curious do you go through your gut piles to make sure you remove all lead remnants to make sure its not in jested by some other critter killing it due to lead poisoning? I'm quite sure you don't. Leave it be...out of sight out of mind. Just like what appears to have happened to ap until 2 months ago.

AP has along way to go before he is on Travis Henry's level 11 kids with 10 women.

[LABS4ME]

A long way? 7 kids not sure how many mommas... He's definitely closing the gap!

He just had a 3 month old daughter, with a waitress, while he's living with his fiancé' and other son...

Again... A long way?

[LMITOUT]

Beating up security guards, driving recklessly over 100mph, and knocking up any gal that can fog a mirror...sounds like a real outstanding citizen and role model.

[RumRiverRat]

Travis Henry had 4 or 5 gals knocked up at once I believe.

like I said before Trade him now!
