Agreed.

But it doesn't appear like she was going to grow up in a very stable environment...and when you're dad is an alcoholic driving a Bentley with no assurance a 2nd contract is on the way...

I'm telling you.

AND I'M SORRY TO SOUND CONTROVERSIAL

this may have been the best thing (in a very sick way) to ever happen to this little girl

I just call them how I see them and I realize for nice, middle class, suburban families like the majority of us grew up in this just seems disgusting and sick...

but someday we'll realize that a vast majority of these NFL players like Belcher didn't grow up in two parent households going to nice public schools eating three meals a day and being raised with manners and responsibility

You do realize lots of people go through tough stages in life and can change correct? I mean I get what you're trying to say, but I think you're being a little harsh trying to make a point.

I realize everyone can change. I'm just saying we have dozens, and dozens, and dozens of examples, and facts (80% of NFL players going broke 5 years out of the league; marginal player is driving a Bentley, come on!)

90% chance the girl would have ended up living with a single mother that was owed thousands and thousands of dollars of child support

Yes, fine. I'm being stereotypical, and it's a moot point. I agree. So this is my last post about it in this thread.

My only point was, based off of the stories we're hearing and off of history lessons...the infant daughter who will have no memories of this incident didn't come out a loser in the whole ordeal. Maybe not a winner, but definitely not a loser IMHO.

Kid lost her mother and her father. She lost, period. $10,000,000 or a lotto jackpot can't replace your real mom & dad. Ever. That's no disrespect to adoptive parents either.

Disagree. I have personally met a great number of children who would be far better off with the money than the parents they have.

Probably fair WRT Belcher. But the momma gets the benefit of the doubt.

I can't speak for what kind of parents they would've been. Just relaying what I've seen with my own eyes. There's a shitton of people out there that have no damn business reproducing.
