this is society, an epidemic of fathlerless children growing up and breeding more fatherless children is in fact a problem, one of our biggest problems actually. It’s one of the main roots of a whole fkn web of societal problems.

your mom can get all the child support in the world, it doesn’t mean you aren’t growing up fatherless.

Also, like most of us.. we grew up around fatherless kids but i looked up diggs and he was at one of kids bday parties and i saw pics of him with his kids..thats not fatherless to me. They just had me thinking that diggs not even involved in his kids life

Nobody needed to bring it up for me, I brought it up on my own because it’s pertinent. You can’t be a present father to 4 kids by 4 different women and they’re in different states and you spend half the year touring the country. The most you can do is pay child support and show up for occasions, and that doesn’t put a father in your child’s household which is substantially more important.

Im not on the opposing side though. Im saying why are we acting like this is the reason why we dnt want him on the team. Id just rather us say he has too much going on rather than bringing up the fact that he has a bunch of kids is the reason why we dnt want him.

The kids aren’t the reason though, it’s just another notch on the belt of Diggs’ character concerns

I never knew a father not being in the household is consider an absent father child or deadbeat dad. I never considered my dad a deadbeat or considered myself as being fatherless because i knew kids who never knew their dad or their dad never showed up, called or anything. I guess by those standards by dad was a deadbeat. He got more kids than diggs lol and was busy out making ends meet to be with each of his kids everyday.. i understand what youre saying, i just had a different version of absent father in my head

I’m not saying daily in the household necessarily but regularly and consistently in their life.

I can’t imagine a man in Diggs’ situation is doing that. I don’t even see how it could be possible. Maybe he could do it for one of them, maybe two if they are both close by to where he stays, but all of them? There’s no way.

Real simple thing he could’ve done to avoid the situation too, and he failed to do it over and over again.

The guy has poor judgement and makes poor decisions, maybe that’s a good way of putting it lol
 
Deebo813 said:
Yea he isnt gonna be there to read them bed time stories for when they go to sleep..so again, thats what people are mad at? I think we are just finding some crazy excuses to dislike someone lol. Fk do we even care for lol. Even if he had zero kids, people will still find a way.

Diggs is a Maryland local, even went to UMD. I wish he was a better dude, would be great for him to be a Raven.
 
Deebo813 said:
I dnt think nothing of it and thats my point lol. I dnt understand why you all are pretending to care like him having a bunch of kids is a problem.

The "caring" aspect comes from what he brings to the football field. The reason he's unsigned, and has bounced around the league, isn't because he likes to fuck without a condom.

I mean it's another sign of poor behavior in a long line of poor behavior. He's had issues since college and has done nothing to indicate he's matured at all since then. Talented player and that's why he keeps getting chances but there's a big reason he's running on 1 year deals at this stage - the age and inevitable drop off isn't worth him being a pain in the ass.

To circle around though if he won the lawsuit then that means the jury found that the allegations did not happen. Therefore the poor behavior did not happen.

Anyone can sue anyone. Whether it’s true or not is left up to a jury. So basically the only bad behavior is existing for him so far is that he existed for someone to sue.

Criminal behavior and poor behavior are not synonymous. Was still actively sleeping with his chef while parading Cardi around publicly.

And again, it’s not a solo incident. It’s a number of incidents over his whole career that add up and show continued immaturity.

Which brings us back to the only complaint over him being that he likes to have sex with a lot of people, and as of now seemingly all of it was consensual. If that is the red flag then half the NFL needs to be out of the league. If there is actually something that shows him to be a bad teammate I am all ears. Case in point TO kept his nose clean but was the most toxic teammate you could imagine.

I have to ask, why do you think he's a free agent? If he's perfectly fine in the locker room with zero issues he wouldn't be a free agent weeks after the draft. For that matter the Patriots would have never gotten rid of him.

Because there is far more than that but people are only focusing on what's been in the headlines

Blew his pre-draft visit here way back in the day and both us and the Skins both thought that he needed to be far away from the area to succeed.

Numerous locker room run-ins, lots of reports that he's fine when they're winning but loses it when they're losing

If you think a guy is only on the street currently because he's got a bunch of baby mommas and drama surrounding, I can't help you. It's long been reported that he's a nuisance, and it's been in a lot of different ways.

Not claiming him to be a serial killer or rapist or kid diddler or anything like that, but he's objectively not a great guy and his availability right now says that. I'd be shocked if he doesn't get a shot but there's a lot of baggage there and that is why he is available right now.

I don't buy for a second that "you know he's there for his kids". From a straight time allocation perspective, that's pretty much impossible. There's literally thousands of players across all of Pro Sports who have multiple kids with one women, who they actually live with, who would barely qualify as "being there for their kids" on a full-time basis, based off nothing more than the job requirements which don't allow them to be.
This idea that he's like Superman and can fly himself around the Country in a matter of minutes to be in different places at different times isn't how reality works.

Everybody knows how this works. He's not special. He's "there for his kids" financially full-time, and from a physical presence standpoint, he's there when its convenient for him to be. Not sure why some of you think this is anything more than what it obviously is.

There’s no way imo that he’s going to be present.

He should be ashamed of himself and seek help

I don't think he needs help. I think there's an epidemic of rich people who just fuck anything that walks and can't stand the feeling of a condom, so they just bareback bitches all day and night, end up impregnating like a half dozen of them, and end up paying out substantial portions of their income in child support.
And they'll consider this to be "supportive of their kids". Their kids won't ever know them and will 100%, hopefully, be raised by a different father down the line. But they're better off than the average Joe, because they'll just refuse to pay child support either way.
