I can certainly understand this, Mr. Codered.

Only believe the part of the newspaper you can use to start a fire. That's my motto.

I can't speak for anyone else, but it bothers me when hacks (like the ones we seem to have in KC) appear or attempt to pattern their behavior after their MSM heroes. To me, it's been clear from the very beginning of this story that the media are simply praying that this situation worsens.

For example, a Channel 5 dude (I think it was 5) was on Twitter BRAGGING about the fact that his "tweet story" had ranked #1 on his Twitter feed. Think about that ... no concern for the child. No concern for the mom. No concern for the community, the Chiefs, the fans ... no. He was bragging about the story trending upward. Self-awareness in that case? Less than 0.

I have another motto; F*** people whose priorities are that screwed up.

It happens in investigations because it has to do with child safety. Its basically we want to make sure nothing happens because if we leave the kids there and something else happens we look bad, it's precautionary.

It's standard operating procedure to remove the child and let the parents take a break from being parents. Everyone can catch their breath and get a clear mind to move forward. We did the same thing in the Air Force when spouses were having issues. Separate for a few days and calm down, then make decisions about how to move forward. In this case they need a break from parenting. KK and Adam sounded like idiots yesterday about Hill not having custody. At this point it's just procedure.

Corporal punishment is a learned behavior. I bet the majority on this board got their asses whooped when they where a kid. A broken arm looks bad but it doesn’t have to have been intentional. Let family court do it’s job.

FIFY

Definitely generational.

Yea,so much so I remember thinking to myself "I'm not doing that cause I don't want my ass beat"

I'll be honest I do think the new parenting of not spanking or anything has led to a lot of self entitled kids who think they have no consequences.

Didn’t require a fix. If he abused his child he will be found guilty, right?

Some in this thread are willfully blind or obtuse. None of the news reports are making up anything out of thin air. Is it possible that some of the accusations that have been alleged are false? Absolutely.

But it's not as if the Star or the local news stations are just making up details about the investigation. They all have MUCH more information than what they've publicly run with and are not reporting every "he said, she said" that has been relayed to them by people involved in the situation. THAT would be irresponsible journalism.

It's my hope that this can be a serious learning process for both of the parents and a wake up call to get their stuff together. Pretty sure we obviously all really hope that Tyreek is on the Chiefs and catching balls from Mahomes for many years to come. But if some of the more serious allegations are true, and if professionals believe there is no hope education/reform can put the kid in a better situation, then so be it. Fandom aside, whether or not Tyreek plays again matters little in the scope of the health and well being of a freaking 3 year old. And it's not like he hasn't already been given the gift of a second chance.

That's because as a "Stat Boy" you totally missed the part of how the story was reported.

In a perfect world, yes. Do you believe we exist in a perfect world where criminals always get caught and innocent people never get convicted? If so, I’ll have some of what you’re having.

And yet I still remember - when this first broke - your informing someone that he was "not as important to the thread as he thinks he is." ROFL

Probably the least effective "burn" ever unleashed on CP. :clap:

Maybe he needs to learn how to properly discipline his child. I don’t think Tyreek was raised in a great family environment. IMO this isn’t a case of he’s either completely innocent or monster that should be killed. Humans are flawed and sometimes needs guidance. Anyways, that’s my 10 cents for what it’s worth.

Yep. And I have mixed feelings about it.

Pryor hates KC and is looking for a GOTCHA so she can move on to some liberal rag. When she tweets about sports it's mostly about North Carolina, she doesn't know sports and just retweets breaking news. She's worthless as a sports reporter let alone the actual Chiefs beat reporter. There's a lot of women sports reporters that do a great job. Brooke is not among that group.
