AP's tragic situation (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

How is this guy still posting here?

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Reading this thread and waiting to hear the outcome has been an emotional roller coaster. As a Gerhart owner today has been pretty disappointing; thought for sure he'd get a start this week since the boy expired.

Hope you lose every game jackass

Apparently you've still got a lot of growing up to do, but odds are, just like AP's son, you're never going to.

And I'm the worst guy here?

SMH

That sticks around.

That effin idiot has 45 posts and is a pure alias troll fisherman.

 

[cstu]

Just sickened by this. How anyone could make a joke about this is beyond me. Go back to 4chan with the other losers.

enjoy your IP ban.

Why would i be banned? Also, if you didn't like my post, why did you like it??

i'm on my mobile and was trying to report you.

wtf is wrong with you.

It appears that original post has been deleted. Eerily similar shtick as another horrible poster.

Anyway, I'm sure this guy has been reported about 200 times, which means the mods will get to it in a year or so.

This thread is a perfect example of how awful this forum has become.

The FFA for a period was way overmoderated. Now the "shark" pool is way, way, undermoderated.

One of my comments got deleted from this thread (I -- intemperately -- told someone to go #### themselves), so they were watching, at least at one point.

 

[Otis]

Maybe it's not the moderating, but the quality of posters.

At least when things got out of hand in the FFA in the old days, people were clever and funny. This just feels like a bunch of unintelligent 15 year old boys who just learned how to curse. Awful.

Yeah. On a serious note: I will say this as lurker and commenter over two years in both forums -- the FFA can be bullying, careful (yes, in a weird way), and a bit cynical. I think it's the lawyer-esque vibe there -- that's not a shot at anyone, but I went to school, passed the bar in NY, and just kind of know the culture. The SP is actually more free-wheeling in terms of what you can say and what you can't without serious social approbation, snark, etc. This has its drawbacks and its positives, but from what I've seen, the SP has really declined in just two years that I've been here. Also noted is that I contribute, and am probably responsible. Perhaps just being nicer to each other, taking a more personal stake and pride in what is posted (which I think helps the FFA greatly), and just understanding that we're all responsible for the SP and its content will help the SP greatly.

Okay, high horse done. I'm drinking and watching the Cards.

Start a WDIS thread and count back from ten and watch how quick it's locked.

They see it. They elect to do nothing.

Horrible tragedy. I really hope this POS has a cellmate who's 6'5, 300, loves kids and is a Vikings fan.

Let AP grieve the way he wants.

Ugh. That poor boy. This is the worst thing. Ever.

 

[T with T]

yes sad situation... My condolences to the family for that terrible tragedy. Yes I hope he dies in prison for that because that is just awful... Now onto the quality of posters on SP, I agree everyone needs to stop being so cynical, and backlashing and more about sharing ideas, analysis, research, news that any one has to better the person in his pursuit of being a good fantasy football player, knowing the game, etc.

[renesauz]

You are never supposed to bury your children. I can't understand at all how he could play through this. It just baffles me.

I think this is one of those cases where the owner and coaches ought to say "go. We will be here when you get back."

Still don't get how people don't get it. ADP barely knew the kid, was not involved in his life, and was not close to anyone involved in his life. He didn't even know about the child until recently.

It's not the same as losing a child you planned for, cared for, held often and put to bed every night.

I'm sure he's pissed, upset, and a dozen other things, but there's no reason for him to be incapacitated or miss more than a couple of practices.

I heard on the radio that he first met the kid on life support, and a dna test was performed to see if it was his. So while he may be the biological father he didnt raise the kid and didnt even know about him till very recently.

TMZ says Peterson found out about the child a couple months ago, but did not see him until Thursday when he was in the hospital.

I haven't seen any reports confirming that a DNA test was actually performed on Thursday.

This puts an awful taste in my mouth; leave it to people like the wonderful "reporters" at TMZ to disrespect AP's request for privacy on the issue.

 

[gradin123]

This is a tragic situation for sure. AP in my opinion is not a very sympathetic character in all this though. Nobody really knows how many kids AP has as he seems to be one of these guys who just goes around getting all kinds of women pregnant and never staying with any of them. Besides the kid who passed he appearently has two other kids in texas by two different mothers whom he rarely sees.

AP has definitely had a hard and tragic life but he is not a very mature or respsonsible guy.

 

[JayJay328]

If AP is an absent father when it comes to this boy then so be it. It makes this poor boys death no less sad and disgusting. R.I.P. young lad, you were failed by those who were supposed to provide for and protect you.

If you have a kid, it is your responsibility to take care of it. If not, wrap it up or keep your stuff in your pants. I lost a little respect for AP, he may be a hell of a player but he has failed as a parent regardless of how much love he shows AP Jr.

He's a guy who was a multi-millionaire at age 22 and had throngs of women throwing themselves at him. Pretty easy to be immature and irresponsible in that situation.

As for him not seeing his other kids, how do you know?

How in the hell do you know that AP didn't "wrap it up" and/or fulfill his responsibilities as a parent? Man, do you suck as a poster.

 

[rickyg]

So much judgement. On a fantasy football message board. Judging ap's character and motivations. The way he lives his life.

Is he breaking the law by having sex with women as getting them pregnant? I've never heard of ap being in the news for being a dead beat dad. How do you know he doesn't financially support every kid he has?

My goodness. I bet every poster in here bashing and judging ap has a few very scary skeletons buried way deep in their closets.

Glass house?

He mentioned it in a interview. He said he talks to his daughter via the internet but doesn't see his children often and he didn't even mention this child because appearently he didn't know about him, it is possible he has more children too as he has never really disclosed how many children he has.

I'm sure that he fincancially supports his children but that doesn't make him a good father. He actually sounds a bit like Travis Henry who has eleven children by ten different women.

The defense of AP is somewhat laughable. He clearly doesn't take the responisbility of being a parent seriously. Like I said this is tragic but AP is not a sympathic character in this. He for a fact has at least 3 children by 3 different mothers but there may very well be more kids we or he doesn't know about yet.

He only met this kid for the first time on his deathbed.

Link?

She was at his house week 3 this year. We know this. It's on twitter. She was razzing him about losing to the Browns. She's a daughter he had with his longtime college girlfriend.

His other son lives with him. It's his son with his current fiance. So, he's got 3 kids. Two of them he's definitely not an absentee father and were with women he was in a committed relationship with. One he just found out about at the start of the football season, obviously a mistake. I'm sure he'd even admit that. I'm quite positive it's absolutely nothing like the Travis Henry situation, but I know you really don't care about that.

 

[Jewell]

How in the hell do you know that AP didn't "wrap it up"

It's called playing the odds. The very, very, very, very high odds that Peterson probably wasn't wearing a condom when he conceived his child.

 

[pantherclub]

I think AP is going to be like that dude in Fast Times at Ridgemont high

If I owned him I wouldnt expect anything less than 200 and 2 tds.

I am being completely serious here.

He found out three months ago. Never visited him.

Maybe I'm funny but If I had all the money in the world I think I would fly 2 hours from where I am to see my kid the moment I found out he existed. I also think he knew for a while that there was a possibility this was his kid.

I'm a life long Viking fan and fan of Peterson the football player. I agree with Phenix and gradin123 here and all the excuses can't cover up the fact that AP could and should have been more involved with his own son. So he only knew the kid was his for a couple months is not really an excuse for neglecting a life he brought into this world through his own choices and actions.

Had at least one of the parents truly cared for that child's well being above themselves and all else he would still be alive.

I think often times in these situations people have a hard time discerning reality from what they want reality to be. They build up these ideas that these great athletes are also great people too when time and time again its proven that's not always the case. What would you be saying about a co worker if this happened to one of their children? Would you make the same excuses for them?

As the father of a 2 year old, my heart goes out to that poor kid who was brought into this world and nobody cared enough about him to keep him safe. It's all over for that little boy now so I'm not judging AP on how he is handling the grieving process because to me that's a not what's important here.

 

[Verminator]

My condolences to the child and the mother who raised him. Adrian deserves not an ounce of sympathy as he is a professional athlete spreading his seed. How many children could he have out there with how many different mothers that he is not involved with raising whatsoever. If it smells like a duck...

 

[werdnoynek]

I feel for the child. I cannot understand what happened or how someone could do such a thing.

Evil is all I can think of. Evil that needs to be destroyed.

I am a messed up dude on just about every level but the one thing that just sets me off and makes me think irrational is when an adult harms an innocent kid.

There is no reason at all in this country that people who abuse kids shouldnt be killed in a public square. No reason at all.

The problem is it is never that black and white. The ####head who did this certainly should die but usually people that do things like this have a ####ed up past themselves. Chances are this idiot that did this probably was abused at some point too, It doesn't make it excusable but it is a ugly circle of violence that seems to happen again and again.

Beyond the fcukhead that did this I agree with a previous poster in that if either of this childs parents (AP included) cared more about this child than themselves then this child would still be alive.
