One of my students is 19 years old and he has four (4) two-year old children with four different women all born within two weeks of one another. He is outraged that they take nearly all his money from his part-time job for child support.

You know what he says, “No one told them to get pregnant. They decided to do that all by themselves and he should not be held responsible for their actions because they got pregnant.” I hear the same story every week.

I ask them why they don’t tell women before they have sex that are YOYO men. YOYO stands for YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN! That way no one is surprised and no expectations.

When you make choices that land you with four children before the age of 25, you’ve made some decisions along the way that are not right.

If you don’t think that your personal life affects your job, you are sorely mistaken. If you’ve ever worked on a job with anyone going through a divorce, you can see how if affects job performance.

The dude got a battery charge. For those of you that do not know .. you can get a battery charge if you look at somebody too hard. This is not a serious charge and it would not be media worthy if he was not in the NFL.

Shiit battery ain’t cool if you’re the one getting battered on by a big ass football player!!!

F-that! Some men are still learning that they should not put their hands on a woman– especially These high paid sports figures… they should really know better and if they don’t they should consult their advisors!!!

I go to Southern Miss too and know (one of) his baby’s mamas. The kid is too cute, but from all accounts Boley is a Grade A asshole. I hope he’s not locked up because of a domestic matter cause that would be a damn shame.

A few weeks ago before the draft, there was an article in the paper about a potential player that the Falcons were looking closely at drafting. The #1 problem the team saw was his messy personal life. The young man had not been drafted yet and he had a baby along with 2 other women claiming to be pregnant by the clown. I think the truth is finally starting to sink into these men’s head who are the Gm’s and coaches. If a man does not have self control over his own personal life, than sooner or later it will effect his job & the team. I think women figured this out years ago but men refuse to believe if a guy has a wife, 2 girlfriends and a boyfriend, that his jumpshot or touchdown pass will never be effected.

OK. Maybe I read too fast and only caught the fact that he was charged with battery but where in the hell did it mention he beat his wife?

I did go to livesteez but it never mentioned specifics.

Perhaps someone can provide another link?

After reading the AJC.com article, it appears that this is a simple family domestic violence situation and appears that this football player’s wife does not know the rules of the game. It is time for the league to require training for all persons in direct relationship with their players and training on how to handle these situations.

The league could accept this behavior as a strikes. By this, they could say three strikes and you are out. Or, they could take the names off all of the jerseys and have name less players who wear masks. This activity would allow unknown players an opportunity to make less money and live a normal life off the field.

What make these players so different from everyone else? We all have to deal with the justice system/law enforcement at some point, either indirect or directly.

Inclosing, what do people expect of boxers, mix martial artist fighters, hockey players, and football players who play violent contact sports?

**”THUG” IS THE NEW WORD FOR N!GGER**

BO$SIP uses the the word because it’s written by white people who know of no other way to describe young black males that have run-in’s with the law. RARELY do you hear of white males labeled THUGS because it’s not the collective image of the people.

-THINK.
