AP's tragic situation (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

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.

I don't know what AP could have done to prevent her from dating this guy.

 

[Insein]

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...

My sympathy is limited for the mother since she allowed this situation to occur by having a monster for a boyfriend. Then worse allowing him alone with your kid.

Making no excuses for AP but for all we know he has tried but the mother may have only wanted his money and not his presence.

Man who raised Adrian Peterson's son rants on Facebook that no one should sympathize with the NFL player over toddler's murder because 'he didn't even know him'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2460971/DNA-test-confirmed-Adrian-Peterson-father-son-beaten-death.html

A man who claims to have raised the murdered love child of Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson said people should stop sympathizing with the player because he didn't even know the two-year-old, it emerged today.

Bobby Ruffin posted a rant on his Facebook page after the boy's death on Friday saying he was the person who raised him and he was even named after him.

The two-year-old was brutally beaten, allegedly at the hands of his mother's abusive live-in boyfriend Joseph Patterson, last week and died soon after in hospital, which is where Peterson met his son for the first time.

'So tired of this poor Adrian Peterson s**t. Let me blow all your minds,' Ruffin posted on his wall which was reported today by TMZ.

'The boy who died was my son. Yes AP was the biological father but I raised him and he carried my name. Tyrese Robert Ruffin.

'I dont blame AP for not really caring cuz him and I both found out recently who the biological father was. AP met my son for the first time yest [sic] when my son was already in coma.

'I was here today when we pulled the plug, not him. He was happily practicing and has no problem playing on Sunday.

'So yea this isnt all out yet but Im sick of the poor AP s**t. He didnt know or even meet my son. Sorry for the outburst but put yourself in my place.'

that guy is out of line.

 

[danielmclark]

He's out of line? Why, because he's not a millionaire football celebrity?

 

[T with T]

sound pretty inline and has every right to say what he said.... AP didn't know this kid or care about him like the poster above said he impregnates diff women and then takes off.. He could have 3 or 4 more kids he doesn't know about... Poor AP ####... he was happily practicing I like how it says that... isn't gonna change his life at all... AP gets all the recognition when he was not even there for the kid. That's embarrassing

 

[Hang 10]

Can't believe people are defending this b@stard factory. Sheesh...

 

[johnjohn]

AP lost his son, the media feels bad for him because he is a NFL superstar. No one knows who this guy is, many people die everyday and no one feels bad for them. We feel bad for AP because he is a NFL superstar and we have a connection with him. I am sorry for this guys loss as well, but the fact is he made himself look real bad there.

I'm not defending him but I want to know...

1. Where is it proven he impregnates women and takes offs often?

2. That he was happy practicing this week?

3. Is I it true he found out about his son until just the last few months?

And by out of line, you mean exactly right, right?

 

[TakiToki]

What exactly is AD supposed to do here? Obviously it's not all that uncommon for rich, famous people to have illegitimate children with whom they have limited, if any, contact. I certainly appreciate and respect the real father's emotions, but AD is purposefully not asking for sympathy.

He was supposed to not be a deadbeat dad but it's kinda too late now.

 

[Insein]

I didn't understand why people were bending over backwards in the media to give condolences to AP even before that statement. It was clearly for their own gratification to show all their colleagues how sympathetic they are.

After two new ladies came forward the past couple days claiming to be the baby mommas to Adrian Peterson's secret fourth and fifth children, AP is probably taking a day off to do an accounting of how many other children he may have out there.

No he didn't. If what he states is true then he's pretty much spot on.

TMZ says it might be seven. The NFL draft in 14-15 years is going to be crazy.

And with the first pick, the Raiders select Adrian Peterson the 4th

And with the second pick, the London Fog select Adrian Peterson the 6th

Well, at the very least, these people care about AP's personal life. Not much of a stretch to think they may be interested what a deadbeat he is too.

We'd be better off as a society if people cared more, not less, about guys dropping their seed and then largely being absentee fathers.

I don't think so, though. More likely, they care whether or not he's going to be playing, how he'll be playing, and things like that. This thread attracted a lot of people who came in to simply say "poor kid!" and things like that. Add to them the people who just wanted to know if he'd play, and you account for a lot of names. Heck, I'm in here talking to you right now, and it's not because I care about his personal life. It's because I'm bored and I'm killing time this afternoon

Not true. We know more about him, since he's an NFL star running back.

BTW, If you had a child who was murdered, would you be at work a day or so later?

Obviously, there's degrees of caring here. I'm not protesting vikings games or anything. I'm not asking him to be benched. However, I do think it's worth discussing. This is a all too common problem with athletes these days. He'll probably be broke by the time he's 40 at this rate.

The people who care are, in 2013, a minority.

Majority of people are too busy sucking AP off and gushing over how sorry they are for his loss and how terrible it is, and how we all grieve in our own way.

The only thing that really sucks, is a baby lost his life.

There is zero to feel bad for regarding AP. Never met the kid, clearly didnt care much about the kid, cuz he knew it was his in advance and still didnt get out to see it... then put the nail in the coffin when he went to PRACTICE instead of being with HIS child.

It matters so little, but AP of all people is in the elite class of guys who doesnt even need practice. His spot is 110% guaranteed . You can try to defend his move to the death, but in my eyes, he's a D bag

Even if he needed to be at practice to "protect" his spot... his role as a paternal father and human being, should be by his sons side.

If he was a nobody, and we saw this story on a talk show, everyone would think he was a POS. I can't imagine anyone would say "we all grieve in our own way". Since he's the great AP, people give him a pass for his actions, which of course speak louder than words. And his actions scream "dirtbag".

Okay, but here's the thing. What about people who give babies up for adoption? I'm adopted myself. If I had died tragically as a young child, would my biological parents have been expected to rush out and be a part of that? Of course not.

And I've got my flame-resistant suit on, all prepared for the people who will indignantly tell me it's not the same thing... but I'm telling you, it's exactly the same thing. The mother of the child was content to raise the child for years without Peterson in her or the kid's life. Had the kid lived a long and fruitful life, nobody would bat an eyelash at Peterson's lack of involvement. But the kid died young in a tragic way, and people lose their #### over stuff like that, so they blame the rich guy for failing to do something. That's understandable. But it's also completely wrongheaded.

If the kid had not been killed, we would not have known about AP's lack of involvement or even how many kids he had that he ignored...now we do, so it's not wrongheaded to excoriate him, IMO.
