Tons of star athletes come from poor, uneducated backgrounds like Bryant and turn out to be great human beings.

Hootie really is this foolish, huh?
JFC man. Gimme a break. I bet half of NFL black players came from troubled homes and situations. Doesn't mean they still do it when they get to be 26 year old millionaires. BTW, do you believe me about this now? |

It's too bad that so many have so much to overcome, but it's not an excuse when so many overcome it.

No father was ever in the picture...his mother was a career crackhead, his oldest brother in prison. He was left mostly alone with his two younger brothers......at age 14 they left home and joined the group home. Where are they now? My buddy now lives in China and teaches English to chineese students. One of his younger brothers is sponsored by Monster Energy Drink for snowboarding and tours the world and snowboards at different venues. The other younger brother? Complete ****ing loser. Bad upbringings suck, but it's ultimately the person.

I think the degree of how ****ed up your childhood was plays some role in how well you overcome it. A LOT of NFL players had a troubled upbringing, but I doubt many had as bad of one as Dez Bryant. Is he a dumbass? For sure. Is it understandable to a certain extent? For sure.

BTW the video is just 1 of the 2 incidents that might end his career. Totally unrelated incidents.
The police have been to his house like 6 times in the last year over the 2 incidents and Jerry Jones used his influence to keep Dez from being arrested for then 2 incidents. |

Probably spit and punched a chick at a club or something.
Same as always with these athletes.

Not an expert at this stuff, and certainly haven't lived it as I was brought up in a great family setting, BUT it seems to me that some of those kids out there simply may not have the skill set to figure out how to get out of a horrific environment. From what Detox is saying, apparently there are programs available to help. Just wonder if some of those kids just simply don't have the mental/emotional capability to figure it out. VERY TOUGH SITUATION.
Does anyone have a clue as to what's on Bryant's tape? I'm not seeing much so far. |
