Is this his child as in, he spends time with him, does stuff with him, etc? Or is it just a "you're the one who knocked me up, pay up now" kind of thing? If he doesn't actually have a relationship with the kid, I can understand his behavior. If he doesn't, well, I have some not nice things to say.
this says he has no contact with the mom or child. I don't know how accurate it is though.
I want to know why she moved in with the BF. Did she HAVE to b/c she couldnt rent a place? And if so, why isnt mr nfl paying to support his kid?
If he didnt want a kid then he should have put a condom on.
I place the blame at like 70 for the abuser and 30 for mom.
According to the deadspin article, Adrian Peterson had no contact with her or the child, and no one was sure if he was actually his kid but there may have been a recent paternity test done. Apparently she moved from the Minneapolis area after she became pregnant or shortly after the child was born.
See, I have a similar train of thought, which is, "women should make better relationship choices when they have children involved." Perhaps that's more flameful to put it so bluntly? I understand that many don't have a lot of choices. It mentioned that it was a fairly new relationship and she was living with him. Hell, maybe she can't afford to NOT live with him, and that's obviously a problem. There are many, many impoverished women who kind of jump from man to man as a survival mechanism. (And some who do it for other reasons.)
And that's when my opinion gets even more flameful, because it was her choice to have a child and bring him into this environment.
Are you blaming the mother for her son's beating? Because it sort of sounds like you are.
Yes, women SHOULD make good relationship choices, and SHOULD carefully consider pregnancies while they still have options. But the more important thing that SHOULD happen is that a grown man keeps his cool around a 2 year old baby.
There's a fine line between victim blaming and considering the consequences of your actions. Let's put it this way: most (sane) people don't consider the Darwin Awards to be victim-blaming. I'm not comparing this to that, just pointing out an extreme instance where the consequences of someone's actions are so obvious as to be stupid.
I actually don't know what side of that line something like this falls on. I think it depends on the other circumstances and your own interpretation.
If he didnt know about the kid, ok. But the i do the head tilt thing b/c i cant imagine raising a kid without child support or knowing for sure who the dad is
Especially if you think the dad is Adrian Peterson, who has to be one of the highest-paid players in the NFL.
18 years, 18 years, she got one of your kids, got you for 18 years.
If he didnt know about the kid, ok. But the i do the head tilt thing b/c i cant imagine raising a kid without child support or knowing for sure who the dad is
The deadspin article said "recent," so I guess I could see a situation where she only recently told him and asked for support? And he said he'd pay support after getting confirmation on a paternity test?
IDK, I can see a situation where someone who is famous/wealthy is harder to get access to to let them know you had their kid, and then having to have the paternity test result before paying support began. But maybe she just wanted to live with this guy and was getting support? (we're just speculating about her reason for moving in with him right? I didn't see that anywhere)

It's my understanding that he does not have a relationship with the child, and there has not been DNA confirmation of his parentage.
If he didnt know about the kid, ok. But the i do the head tilt thing b/c i cant imagine raising a kid without child support or knowing for sure who the dad is
I can't imagine it either, but it's surprising how many women want the father of the kid completely out of their lives.
I certainly don't fault Peterson for not voluntarily paying child support if there is a question whether the child is his.
Is it safe to assume that this woman was a one night stand or a not steady girlfriend since the question of this kid being his is out there and he just now found out about him?
So yeah, i cant get down with unprotected ONSs and the like. For both of them. Again, i didnt know this was flameful
Why even assume it was unprotected. BC isn't 100%.
Adrian Peterson is grateful for all the support. How about being devastated by the loss, angry at the murderer, and ashamed that you didn't protect your own 2 year old boy? Adrian Peterson will play football on Sunday. How about taking the time to respect your little boy's life, to personally make funeral arrangements, and to make sure your child gets justice?
I couldn't care less about his privacy. That request is just a shield to deflect any inquiry into his heartless behavior before and after this child's death. God will bless and honor this child as his own father has not done.

Oh good, you're spouting this crap over here too.
There are a few people to blame for this situation, but AP is not one of them. We don't know how much contact he had with the child or the mother, but it sounds like not much. He left practice to see the child. The child is now dead. What exactly is he supposed to do?

Fuck you very much. How dare you question how he deals with this death?

Team Nugget as well. Brett Favre played MNF after his dad died unexpectedly. Tony Dungy and Andy Reid coached the games after their sons died. I just do not get how anyone can judge how someone grieves. I find it pretty gross, actually.
