Man, I may not fuck wit dude like that but he is far from being the worst parent.

That's real fucked up that the USA Today would do such a headline. Dude goes hard for his fam.

Trying to marginalized the role of the black man to his family.

 

[THE DRIZZY]

People equate off putting personality with being a terrible person. "I don't like how he acts so he is bad" is what they say. Add his ethnicity and they came to this conclusion.

Funny thing is, had this statement been made about a white parent or in a black publication about a white parent, it would be media WW3....

Fuck CACs for real...

If you know the name on the back of that jersey....

Then you know I just closed this thread to any debate.

Basically USA Today is saying he's not white enough...

 

[Shadow22]

The op gotta be dumb young. I know plenty Brehs married and have all their kids from 1 woman. Only on bgol and 1 other board is lavar a saint in the community which said something about the community in general

 

[donwuan]

I'm sure some of those white gymnast parents are far worst. Football parents too.

Yeah that some blatant fuckery. We know the double standard behind this.

Are there any more Black publications? Is Jet or Ebony still Black owned?
Beside that, USA Today should have more Black people in the editorial room that could have caught this.
It seems that USA Today has got some headlines by being really alt-rightish lately.

They have to know what coach is up to when he wants their 13 year old to come to house over the weekend. A house with no equipment and you're sending your teenage girl over there.

I guess they figure the free instructions is worth it.

Right. I've never equated his personality with his ability to parent. Those things are not mutally exclusive, but some how folks believe that they are.

 

[Dark19]

I Like It....Means He's Making All the Right Moves

A married black man that cares about his kids and is trying to financially secure their future...yep that guy is such a deadbeat asshole

 

[illdog]

Don't let their racist hypocritical sensibilities hold you back from reaching yur goals...

And how many people we know that the father is there but is abusive, drunk, jobless, multiple kids by different women, etc..?

That type of statement in no way belongs on a national newspaper.

 

[World B Free]

Worst parent is a parent who isn't there by choice in the child's life. USA TODAY got it twisted, I guess their default position is "no father" is the norm in Black Families.

It's fucking slander. I hope he sues the shit out of them

Even a parent that isn't there is better than an abusive one or a molester.

 

[thundercat]

Man fuck those crackers.

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

he may be the most attention whoring father of the year..

but cant deny his fatherhood... thats just hate.

do you know how many sports fathers wish they were successful at raising..

well mannered sons that go on to be above average to professional athletes.

they just throwing shade...

he managed to raise all three of them boys and they all still love and respect him...

I smell hate in the air...

Homie, my mother used to be social worker and you'll be surprised how many kids loved their abusive parent to death.....

Actually, I'm not surprised

 

[ballscout1]

Worse than the Ramsey's

 

[sinsay]

Im not a fan at all of dude...in general, I am not a fan of most people who are loud and obnoxious, but that is a joke.

By all accounts, he loves his kids, has always been there for them, has laid the foundation down for them for a potentially lucrative business outside of basketball, and has shown he will fight for whatever he feels is best for his kids regardless of what anybody else thinks.

I don’t necessarily agree with all the moves he’s made for his kids, but just because I don’t agree with them, doesn’t make them wrong or bad. When it comes to being a father for his kids...being there physically, emotionally and financially, he’s an awesome dad from where I stand and that’s all that matters when considering how someone is doing as a parent.

 

[World B Free]

Actually, I'm not surprised

Parent putting out cigarettes on the skin of the kid & the kid still loves them. I don't really understand that....

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

They're trump supporters too.

 

[ZuluSam]

He must be doing something right.

 

[^SpiderMan^]

Clearly racist. Not liking a guy doesn't make him a bad parent. Not agreeing to his methods doesn't make him "bad". He seems to be getting good results.
Trump is a horrible parent. Look at his kids and wife. Isn't one of his sons currently being investigated criminally? The truth is that CACs are much more comfortable with a mush mouth deadbeat brutha than a confident brash successful brutha.

Keyshawn Johnson got at the broad who wrote that article on his radio show, she couldn't even defend that bullshit she wrote.
