Rjones made a claim. I just wanted him to back up the claim with facts. He said we didn't really know Shoota and then introduced us to what we found out was a bastard. Good family men don't make bastards and they don't use government support to raise them. After we established what a good family man is, we then compared the facts of the situation and it became clear that Shoota is indeed, NOT a good family man. YET
I say yet, because he could turn it all around and BECOME a good family man. But until then, it is unfair to the truly GOOD FAMILY MEN to categorize Shoota as a good family man.
Thus concluding the summary of this thread.
How do you know he's using government support to raise the kid? How do you know that the family(s) don't help out?
Student-athletes aren't allowed to work. Are you suggesting that he should forego his education and collegiate football career and drop out of school to get a job? He only has a year and a half left of school.
How do you know he doesn't plan or marrying his girlfriend at a later date? They live together.
What would you define as a good family
man? Do you suppose you have to be married to someone to be a good parent?
I'd say calling the kid a bastard is a little distasteful, don't you think?
Anyway, like I said - lots of assumptions being made here.
