Whatever.

If someone described my father in the manner that Whitlock described McNair, I'd think my father was an shitty dad AND an asshole.

Fortunately, that's nowhere near the case.

You really live in your own world, don't you?

Dane, there are men who spend hours and hours with their kids bullying them, belittling them, humiliating them, abusing them. That is a horrible father. They may never be gone or distracted but their sheer presence is of no use to their kids.

One who is gone all the time or is away and busy with things that are benefiting the family are not necessarily horrible fathers IF the time they spend with the kids is quality time when they are there.

I don't see where McNair has ever been accused of being anything but a good father and that is why this is so shocking. When he was busy with his career or charity is not when he got in trouble.

Bottom line, Whitlock doesn't have kids does he? So I don't really take his view as very credible on this topic until he does.

I read the majority of this thread and I felt compelled to just say that I believe your stance and ideas on this topic are way off. You said that you feel bad for McNair's children. Of course, they just lost their loving father to some crazy biitch whose number one goal in life 'was to be famous.' Some article stated that if SM was not traveling with this bat shit dame, he was with with his kids, or traveling with his kids. I think it's a sin if Steve is remembered this way when so many other athletes get away with it. I am not condoning adultery. Handle the divorce first. However she took the law into her own hands.

She might escape jail but she won't escape hell.
