NFL will provide benefits to Belcher's daughter

[Hootie]

but I'm a cold son of a bitch

I love my mom and dad, they have both been great to me and have taught me many, many, many important lessons and I respect both of them greatly

but honestly how could you miss someone you never knew? How could you feel pain about someone you never knew? My parents got divorced when I was 4, have no memories of them being together, and I never once in my life was sad about them not being together because I never knew them together

so yeah...IMO this little girl, assuming she lands a rational guardian, sort of hit a baby jackpot

This is quite abit different as Belcher took the life of her mom. He stole a piece from Zoey that no $$ can justify.

That's great. Doesn't replace her parents but financially stability will certainly help.

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.

Am I the only one uncomfortable with the idea that "the NFL has this - we can leg go now?"

No, this isn't the NFL's issue - it's KC's.

This should be our responsibility because IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

Texas and Florida and NY shouldn't be paying for this because it's our loss. It's our family and our people.

Whatever comes from this it's ours.

And we should be taking care of ours...

I agree with this and I think the players would agree aswell. I think they want to be responsible for the child and help as much as they can. The NFL shouldn't take that away from the team & fans that care.

Money isn't everything. Pretty sad.
