I don't understand it either.

Brady is white and his former girlfriend got pregnant. Race is relevant how?

If Brady were black he wouldn't dare write what he did.

Sports writer Tom Knott writes about Brady in his column today and also mentions black NBA player Shawn Kemp "the would-be father of our country . . . with his seven children by six women. Kemp resorted to food and brain-numbing substances to ease the stress of being America's fertility god." ("This love anything but free," The Washington Times, Feb. 21, 2007)

It is the children who will suffer. Tom Brady and his family deserve the hypocrite of the day award for saying they are "happy and excited about the pregnancy."

No he wouldn't write about it if Brady was black.

I didn't even read the article and it seems clear to me. The issue is that black professional athletes are constantly scorned for fathering numerous babies out of wedlock. Freepers call the NBA thugball all the time. But now a white, good looking, NFL star does the same thing and there's hardly a peep. Matt Leinart did the same thing. I'm a big SC fan and I was really disappointed about that, as I see no reason why anyone should have an unwanted pregnancy these days, aside from the gold digger syndrome others have mentioned.

Never heard of a Man Bites Dog story I guess.
