Maybe he can beat one of His 9 kids like a pinyata with a stick n money will come out.

I generally disagree with that sentiment and find it off putting how many people hate athletes of sports they profess to love but in this case I find it difficult to disagree with 312’s post.

Why? Do you really think he knew any better or was he raised to believe that's how to raise children? I don't think you are going to end a cycle of violence by saying fuck him he's trash.

I’m not saying “fuck him, he’s trash” but I do believe he’s an asshole based on what he did to his kid and I do believe he’s not an intelligent person. I don’t care if he has a bad or good life going forward because I don’t really care about him one way or the other but I don’t find anything much wrong with 312’s sentiment in that post.

Edit: and yes I believe he knew better than to whip his kid like a slave.

Like a slave? Classy. If you aren't intelligence don't you think a likely consequence is to do stupid things like repeat destructive behavior you were taught like hitting children to teach them?

What’s not classy about giving a realistic depiction of the damage he did to his kid? Did you not see the photos?

I do think if you’re not an intelligent person you’re prone to repeat bad decisions you learned as a kid, you are correct there. I don’t classify this in the same category. For example, I don’t consider you an intelligent person but I do believe you wouldn’t beat your kids to the point of having bruises all over their body even if that was done to you. I think most people wouldn’t. That’s not an intelligence thing. That’s a “this guy is a piece of shit” thing. Not sure how any rational adult could disagree with that.

Sometimes w/ these guys theyre too proud to admit they're in the hole.

I remember Vince Young was broke, but he threw some lavish party where he gave out Rolex watches and other high priced items. People in the party were shocked when they got all this stuff since they also heard he was broke. Then when he had to pay for that party it put him more in debt like 500K.

As for AP - i remember he beat his kid and that's unacceptable today. I understand he said thats how he was raised and his fathers excuse was to get him ready for life .

It just sucks these guys who go broke get looted most of the time by family and friends. this whole mindset to 'owe' people who you grew up with needs to stop. Most of the friends/family do a mind trick on these guys that they're owed after the athlete gets the cash. At least guys like Scottie Pippen learned from this and have talked about it helping other young athletes.

Not an intelligence thing is a great summary of your argument. Did you see the photos is an emotional response. This is someone who was raised that way, and came into riches through a violent unforgiving sport.

Enjoy it while it's free kid. MANY pay for the privilege of getting their nuts whacked with a switch.

Your first two sentences here are meaningless and simply reinforce the idea you can’t back up any argument you’re pretending to have currently. In regard to your last sentence, is your position that the majority or even a large percentage of folks raised that way treat their kids violently? Because it seems clear the AP’s and Tyreek’s are an anomaly in this regard, which is why when their stories do come out they touch a nerve. For every AP who was whipped as a kid and plays a violent sport there are a dozen or more Charles Tillman’s and Donald Driver’s who aren’t pieces of shit and end that cycle.

No way. I'd Gronk it.

People buy and sell bath water?

A girl, who plays video games professionally, bottled her bathwater and sold it to her fans. Had to make that an appositive, I think, otherwise "professional bottling"?

Not true at all. He didn’t do anything for Kawhi that Kawhi hadn’t already earned outright himself. Many athletes would be much better served without an Uncle Dennis pimping them out for self centered reasons.

I don’t agree with that necessarily. I can see how some would view it that way though. Regardless, it’s a shame when athletes let a relative dictate their career based on how much money the no-talent relative can receive in kickbacks.

I play the Legend of Zelda, puzzle fighter, and Mario related stuff sometimes. You think I could sell my bath water?

Is that a serious question? Good dolphin would buy 10 gallons immediately.

He's polish, his cheap ass doesn't like to pay for his paczkis or anything else.

He's someone who Kawhi trusts and he managed to get 4 teams in a league filled with leaks to remain silent for a week. He likely negotiated sponsorship deals and other perks that will benefit his nephew. He's an asset.
