This guy is right on the money.

Brady is irresponsible, as is his former girlfriend, and some little kid gets to pay for it. There is tons of research that kids do best with their own dads & moms raising them.

Put down your bucket full of stones rev. Let's find out for sure if the girl is expecting and if so, is Brady the father.
If she is expecting at least the baby is going to be born and not aborted.

What's on the money about his conclusion?

"If I were a member of black America, I wouldn't exactly be laughing at Brady's sexual mistake. But I'd be hard-pressed not to smirk."

You are right. Statistics show that illegitimate children score lower on every measure, such as physical health, etc. It seems to affect boys more than girls.

I agree with you that Telander is right on the mnoey, although I could do without the last two sentences. They seem to cloud the issue. Many are focusing on them and not the gist of the article, which is pro family,pro marriage and anti-illegitimate.

I thought his point about children-as-accessories was particularly perceptive.

Yeah, I'm sure the son or daughter of a movie star mother and an NFL quarterback father is going to be begging for change on a Mattapan streetcorner one day . . .
