Athletes have been known to be notorious for cheating, from Michael Jordan (the all time #1 infidelity superstar perhaps?) to Kobe Bryant’s unfortunate rape allegations. Athletes’ marital lives seem to never stay out of the media’s eye. With this being said, I have to ask the question: Are athletes good boyfriend/husband material?

Check out our gallery of athletes who are know for their cheating ways:

    honestly, i think the women are with them or their money and fame.. just to get attention so they can be like im married to so and so so you have to do this or i get this and i get the attention that i want.. I dont know maybe some of them are actually are in love.. who knows.. but personally, i wouldn’t marry a athlete or super star.. they know that they can get women because of their looks and money.. but y be married to one and always be alone strange phone calls from women.. a a woman can be giving him/her everything he needs, but in the back of his mind he knows that he can get any woman he wants.. i just know from personal experience.. my aunt is married to a famous athlete..

    Whats so funny is that women dogg the men about cheating, but what about the womaen who hound these men and know they are married? Do they have any responsibilties?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sunshyne_defined/ Sunshyne_defined

    To the one who asked about the women who cheat w/the men; Yes, the women have a responsibility in pursuing the men, but the man’s responsibility is bigger, he has to realize, especially in the lime light, he has more to lose. She really doesn’t lose much, but he’s risking his reputation, his relationship, possibly sponsorship money, all for the sake of some *ss. He should really think, but its obvious most of these men let that fame go to his head and think that they should be able to get away w/anything. Being in the spotlight makes them more of a target, and heightens the fallout when they’re caught, so who has the bigger responsibility?

    do immature people make good partners?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sub-Negro/ Sub-Negro

    I had know idea LeBron was engaged and I thought Melo got married a long time ago.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LadyJsWorld/ LadyJsWorld

    I think that anybody is capable of cheating regardless of their occupation.

    I don’t think that people should be judged on whether or not they would make good partners based upon the legitimacy of their profession.

    I think that maturity, love, mutual understanding, trust, mutual respect,
    a spiritual relationship with God, wholesome values, effective communication skills and being a good listener skills is what yields a quality relationship. Let’s go from their and see where the future will take us. It’s not a bad start.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LadyJsWorld/ LadyJsWorld

    Possessing good communication skills and being a great listener is what I really wanted to emphasize. Laughter and spontaniety are definitely a requirement.

    MJ wasnt cheatn on his wife with a female it was wit gambling thts why thy gota divorce n LBJ n savannah been engaged since he played for the cavs the only reason why is cus she keep havin his kids

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xofreshtiger18xo/ xofreshtiger18xo

    Being previously engaged to an NFL player myself, I have wondered the same thing. After 2 years of dating and 1 year of engagement he cheated on me with a groupie. I guess after getting in the league it made his ego too big or something. I’m not sayin that I wont date another ball player but I’ll be extra careful next time. We can’t just blame these men, we also need to look at the females who have sex with them when they know they have a significant other. Do they have low self esteem? Did they’re parents not love them enough? What if some other female did that to their man? Karma’s a b***h.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xofreshtiger18xo/ xofreshtiger18xo

    …oh and to helikemydougie87, I have my own money and im well takin care of. I was with him before he was even in the league. I truly did love him but i was also naive.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Sweets110/ Sweets110

    seems to me that yes, while anyone will/can cheat (despite their occupation), men in the lime lite have more enticing opportunity to do so with women they probably never dreamed who are literally throwing it at ‘em….

    Thats not to say that they don’t have a choice (because they DO!!) ….But if they don’t have the spirit of the Living God or a REALLY strong will working within them, they don’t even have the power to…

    Sad but true…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missythang69/ missythang69

    I say no matter what a man is going to cheat that’s what they do. They can’t help it they have a very hungry appetite for women. It’s not right but a it’s life. I don’t care if a man do or don’t have a profession they’re human so who are we to judge them. Us women can put up or put out. If he’s good to us nine times out of ten we’re going to stay so what dose it matter. Us women can be the same way we’re just smart with ours.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/brittb5/ brittb5

    ONCE YOU THINK ABOUT IT ALL THEM CHEATIN….LOL..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sweet_hospitality/ sweet_hospitality

    WILT CHAMBERLAIN Wooohh!!! That was an OG bonus, lol. But I think that it comes with celebrity. When your on the road constantly and have woman throwing themselves at you and peer pressure is there and because your an athlete you already have that rep of being a play boy cheating just comes accidentally, then it becomes natural. Sure at first they feel bad, but after awhile it becomes a learned behavior. See no one is a born cheater, that is a learn behavior, because you have to downplay your conscious to commit the act. Also I don’t think its something that starts just because they make it big. Its something they did in high school, in college and carried on to there adult life. So these woman can’t be shocked by there significant others “extracurricular activites”, they were 9 times out of 10, cheating when they met them. Now with all that said, would I date an athlete?? Yes I would, but I would take it at face value. ALWAYS be two steps ahead of him, don’t sleep on it. They may play the game, BUT DON”T LET THEM PLAY YOU!! If you gonna be with one, be like Kobe wife, know your role and enjoy the ride. Ya’ll may call her stupid, but look at your life and look at her’s….. And for those who read my message I AM NOT A GOLDDIGGER!! I just understand the life of being an Athlete’s wife.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kennyd4/ kennyd4

    The women who marry these men know the real deal so whats the fuss,most of them met these clowns the same way the groupies do so they know the score. Its wierd how u never here about the female counter part in sports doing the same(OH YEAH BUT MOST OF THEM ARE DIKES)so that explains it,not to mention alot of them look like dudes.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ernestinec/ ernestinec

    @ Smugz2003 it’s sad that you let those women/girls allow you view all woman the same, hence the comment “women aren’t shyt”, besides some of the women that are married to some athletes were with them before they became these “multi millionaires”.
    As far as these guys making good husbands, just like I don’t think it’s fair for this man to place all women in the “not shyt” category, because of a few bad seeds, I don’t thinks it’s fair to do the same with all athletes. I’m sure there are just as many good men in basketball/ football/baseball/hockey etc., but we all know that the media will rarely place the good guys in the spotlight. You never know….

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/blackscience2009/ blackscience2009

    These women in the end is getting exactly what they deserve. The bible say it best, “what you reap is that you sow”. It have been in my experience that the more money and prestige a man have the more women flock to that man, and out of the flock, you cant find one of the women that’s not a Golddigger. I am not saying that all women are golddiggers but the ones that flock towards celebrity, most are. For example: look at the women that was on the Flavor of love…what do Flava Flave have to offer besides money? Did they want him because they thought he would make a good father, or possibly that he would produce cute offspring? I dont blame these guys for getting these women and treating them the way that they do, because all of those kind of women want is that glamourous life, and the old saying is, you cant turn a w***e into a housewife.

    Botton line is, women who marry athletes know what the hell goin on, they aint that damn stupid…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/illinois-finest/ illinois-finest

    the only time da cheatin become a problem is when the media start reporting it and taking pictures and the only reason it becomes a problem is because its an embarrassment and a shock to her lil ego cause she built her social standing off of being able to pull a ballplayer not off of her own accomplishments like a degree or somethin not all women are like that but so many are that we cant see the difference and treat them all the same. if you just around for the party keep it real u can still kickit. for free but dont play me close to see what you can get thats how u get got in the end. i feel my man that said once his people passed and gave him some money the girls started flockin me and my uncle goin through it now its like who can u trust.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Asad_Bakari/ Asad_Bakari

    Honestly, I think it comes with the business. No man in a powerful position can resist the lure of a beautiful woman. Moses, MLK, Elijah Muhammad, Jesse Jackson, and David. Did their cheating ways take away from who they were as men? NO! Athletes are power players and the women that they are married to need to understand that they are not the only leprechauns in the world. There are other leprechauns that want that pot of gold too.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Dont_play2/ Dont_play2

    Well I first off would say the women who marry these Athletes(men) are in it for the money and fame for sure, then they get divorced and get half plus some.
    I don’t think they make good husbands because they’re always on the road and obviously having sex with hookers…

    Hell nah, I wouldn’t marry an athlete.. Bottom line is I’m not trying to catch a case on a 6’5 man for bringing home flees..

    Money means nothing if your miserable, knowing your man is out there traveling the world, sleeping with hoes and spending money one them..

    Thats drama I’d rather not deal with.. I rather work a 9-5 for the rest of my life, than be a miserable, “stay at home” atheletes wife, with material things I can buy my damn self..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/amealticket/ amealticket

    Athletes, entertainers, celebrities, ballers, and successful people in general have greater opportunity to pounce on azz then most. The temptations are too great to deny. It is all about respectability to the woman and that is a case by case thing. It is a trade off cuz they gone cheat regardless.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shamel_/ Shamel_

    I wouldn’t say that I would not marry an athlete but I’d say I would go into the relationship FULLY AWARE of his lifestyle and what comes along with it. If I couldn’t handle it I know where the door is. These men are not the only ones cheating these days…women do too. First all these women should establish something for themselves (besides being somebody’s girlfriend or wife)! Many of these women are happy to have children by these athletes (meal tickets) and keep it pushing because they have no success, accomplishments or goals of their own. Case in point: TIger Woods married a freakin’ nanny…give me a break!!! If these athletes stop being so shallow and date “quality” women (and vice versa) there relationships would be much more successful. I feel that is why Shaq took Shaunie back…she seems to be a good mother, wife and WOMAN!!!

    You can’t knock a man for the career/profession he is in…the heart wants what it wants…That’s why ladies you protect ya self. MAke him double up on the Magnum. Also Sign a pre-nup! That’s RIGHT! SIGN IT!!! Have your attorney put a clause in the pre-nup that if it is found that your spouse can’t kep it in his pants the pre-nup will be null and void and YOU will be awarded $_____ fill in the zero’s…

    As long as there’s money…chicks are BEYONDD stupid….and then they have the BALLS to play the victim when they get what they ask for….lol

    The most famous one that comes to mind when answering this question is of Grant Hill(G/F of Phoenix Suns) and his R&B Grammy Award winning wife Tamia(remember her). It can work but a lot is dealing with what each person brings into the relationship and how strong they are when their partner is gone for long periods of time.

    all i got to say is allen iversons wife looks off the chain. i know i might be wrong and this is MY opion about the whole situation. everybody loves money point blank and when u get an oppurtunity to get a good as chunk of it like i dont know a million or s**t id be happy with 100,000 u start letting the little s**t go because u start sayin damn if i leave this millionare right now i go back to whateva the hell i was doing before makin pretty much nothin in this messed up world we live in now. so its both ways to me cus id marry a millionare that cheats on me everyday id be like as long as u buy me a car im straight lol jus playin!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/J_izacutie/ J_izacutie

    I don’t think it has anything to do with being an athlete. It all boils down to the character of the man… who he was BEFORE he got rich and famous. Money just doesn’t buy class.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/addictive4_08/ addictive4_08

    No I would not marry one because in some kind of way they cheat.I dont care how much monet he made at the end of the day money is only a temporary fix and it cannot cure A.I.D.S.Perfect example: Magic Johnson his wife cookie have to live with the fear everyday of not contracting full blown A.I.D.S. BECAUSE OF HIS INDISCRETION.a MOMENT OF PLEASURE GAVE HIM A LIFE TIME SENTENCE.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pretty-cp/ pretty-cp

    It depends on the character of the male. Unfortunately in today’s world many males do not have common sense and morals to do the right thing. There are some exceptions and I would rather see them get an article instead of listing some of the trash that are in those pictures. Athlete or no athlete anybody that cheats on their spouse in a marriage that is suppose to be ordained by God is a sad excuse for a human being. If you know that you are in a profession that will constantly have women after you and you can not control yourself like a wild child then there is no reason to be married in the first place. To God Be The Glory.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/00_Queen_Bee_00/ 00_Queen_Bee_00

    It really depends on the man his morals and how he was raised with so much temptation in that industry it would be very very easy for anybody to cheat or do something your spouse wouldnt approve of, but if you honestly love that person and are mature and smart enough to realize that the woman you have at home is better to any groupie you could meet on the road then yes he should make a great husband hello there rich, handsom, and rich…lol j/k

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kaikai7/ kaikai7

    I don’t know if I could do it.A lot of these athletes start making money and getting attention from groupies and lose their damn mind! Wives of these ballers get money and wife status but have to tolerate a lot , too much! Many of these women would not look twice at these men if they didn’t have money, with exception to some who were with their men prior to the fame and fortune! I hear that a lot of these pro ballers have stds, and kids all over the U.S.!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BlackSage06/ BlackSage06

    Not all athletes are men. (Idiots.)
    Secondly, The proportion of male athletes to the rest of the male population is so tiny that your question/proposal is in no way significant, statistically or otherwise.
    This poll, and this question is more supportive of the (negative) stereotype of the “Black Male Athlete” than it is supportive of Black women or Men in general.
    The human spirit is capable of wild and fleeting fancies expansive to limits of an unlimited imagination. There is no way to say why one person would do something or not, and to create the assumption in the women you’re trying to market to (because yes, this is a sales pitch to bring your attention to whatever product is being sold on this and the next page – not created to have a real interest in giving you valuable information about making good choices) will only put them into a detrimental position.
    Stop screwing people to sell your product. Ladies, stop buying products from people who indoctrinate you with negative stereotypes to do it.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CanDman84/ CanDman84

    Why do people believe the stuff they hear about these guys? Yes, a little may be true, but do you not think these groupies are smart enough to know that starting rumors can create a rift in a relationship? Plus any of the guys that cheat would cheat if they weren’t athletes, just regular men (and women) with no money or fame do everyday. The only difference is that they are famous and so everybody gets to put their nose in their business..

    1st and foremost… lets not stereotype these men. There are plenty of Athletes who are completely faithful to their wives or significant other. as for the ones who do cheat… its between them, the person they cheated with and their significant Other.

    and how many women get approached by professional athletes?
    I mean wannabes sure but professionals… slim to none… so this article was a POINTLESS.. waste of time and i regret I read it.. lmao

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JJ_lawva01/ JJ_lawva01

    well since the dawn of time men have had more than one wife…it is in our nature not to be monogomous (infact thats almost every male in every species of animal). while I believe the temptation and satisfaction of chasing/cheating on women is ingrained in us from an early age (its acceptable) the one thing that differentiates us from animals is free will. even though we may have the urge to cheat we also have the ability to make a choice. and my feeling is this…if you love someone you will be less likely to cheat. if you dont you will cheat and not feel guilty about it. So all in all we do have the choice whether to cheat or not.

    It’s all good. There are some faithful athletes out there such as Grant Hill. He is married to singer Tamia. It seems as if they have a wounderful relationship. Some men are going to cheat regardless if they are athletes or not. Just like some women are going to cheat as well. It is what it is.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kissmylyrics/ Kissmylyrics

    People choose to cheat because they are not mature enough to understand that they do not have to act on feelings in order to enjoy having a relationship with someone, and therefore they don’t allow themselves to build meaningful friendships. It is possible to admire someones look with out jumping in bed with them. I suggest thinking of a person of interest as a model and life as your canvas, and just think you can play any where you like in the world with this person. It’s beautiful and there would be less break ups and divorces if people get real

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/german_cutie_13/ german_cutie_13

    If a woman is dumb enough to get involved with an athlete I honestly believe she does not deserve any better and also: I think money plays a big role here, so I think most of the women oversee if the guy cheats as long as they can enjoy the finer things in life.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jauharah/ Jauharah

    No they don’t. Their egos make them believe they are too good for just one woman. Reality check; many of them aren’t as good looking as they think and the only reason woman throw themselves at these men is because they have money. But once they get hurt and can’t play anymore they will find themselves alone and clueless. Give me an intellectual man with solid earning power over his lifetime than someone who may have 10 years tops at earning money.

    This is a dumb question. If a person man or woman is going to cheat they are going to do so regardless of their profession. Just because women/men are accessible to you or throwing themselves at you doesn’t mean you want it. How can one know if athletes make good husbands without being married to one. That’s like someone wondering if you (the author of this post) would make a bad wife because you are a writer. I’m a woman but I’m sorry to say it seems like men can’t get a break. Women cheat too, lol. Yet to hear some people tell it we all saints. Man please.

Because just think this guy is making millions of dollars, you and him can travel any where yall want any time yall want. Not just on the weekend but on a average monday. You can buy anything from clothes to cars to purses and so on. No money cant buy love but will you be able to say that when it is put in you face. Yes I think cheating is wrong but a “good” woman has to find a guy with morales not just a guy that wants to party all the time. Sadly in athletes yes that is hard to find.

    If he is a good man period, rather he is an athlete or not, he will make a good husband.

    Of course the majority of athletes cheat. Especially the superstars.They travel from city to city during the season, and they are away from their wife or girlfriend for months sometimes. They have women throwing p***y at them because they’re famous and they have money. So, they have the resources, opportunity, and the hunger for sex. LOL What do you think is gonna happen?

    Honestly, I think it comes with the business. No man in a powerful position can resist the lure of a beautiful woman. Moses, MLK, Elijah Muhammad, Jesse Jackson, and David. Did their cheating ways take away from who they were as men? NO! Athletes are power players and the women that they are married to need to understand that they are not the only leprechauns in the world. There are other leprechauns that want that pot of gold too

    i dunno, i guess ego is one thing, and being mature and ready is another, but imma tell u i dont know if i could be an young athelic (rich) and be married. lol. and that is one of the points im trying to make. a lot of these young guys r now in a position to where they can go and live out their fantasies as opposed to average blue colar workers as myself who will never get that amount of play from women as they do. so a lot of them r maybe getting married too early in life knowing they stil have an big apeitite lol

    i feel that any man who will cheat on his girlfriend, wife baby mama what ever so it’s not just about athletes making good spouses. it’s about men making the choices that they do. but as a woman lets be honest when it come to athletes they know who to marry date what ever because a lot of them get involved with chicks that only want to spot light attention and the cash flow. some of them know if they married a strong woman who didn’t stand for all the nonsense alot of them would be on the injured list of the team because they have their azzes hurt. by some woman who didn’t play that so i feel that athletes know who to get involved more then some of us normal people think.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Bookiti/ Bookiti

    These are grown men and women are around them everyday even if they were not famous. We co-exist everyday. If you are a cheater you are a cheater it doesn’t matter the title that is given to you by others. They are men they cheat even without being an athlete they use that as a crutch. But when you step into the limelight you already know what comes with it. It’s all in the choices you make. And you need to know the consequences which they don’t think about. But as long as their wives deem it acceptable their gonna continue to do it. But if their husband truly has their mind and soul placed in Gods hands they know whats at stake and don’t take it for granted. Their are some out there that don’t fall into that. Its on the man if he lets go that far or not.

    I’m reading some of these posts and laughing, lol. To me it seems like alot of men that are answering just lack something called self-control. This we are men and men do this and it is ingrained in us because we are men is a load of crap, lol. We are human and we have choices. Women can cheat just as well or even better than men, lol. But we know if we do it was basically a choice we made to do so.
    People know themselves better than anyone else and you know if you a playa if you are stay sinlge and mingle. But don’t get into a relationship then still want to do you and blame it on the fact that you a man, or what other famous dudes did it. Think for yourself and most importantly think about how you would feel if some other dude was all up inside your girl. I take up for men on a daily basis but I can’t deal with dudes who think just being born a man gives them a pass to think with their dicks instead of their brains.

    i don’t think any of this matters. even if they weren’t celebrity atheletes, they’d still be as open to cheating as any other men. i just want to know why Dwayne Wade’s wife looks like she could be his mom or aunt. at least he’s divorcing her.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thegift_03/ thegift_03

    well lets see they called rumors that not it may not be true, and yes pro players have cheated just like middle class people, their human , but the question is what have the wife or husband have did, see you don’t see them in the spotlight like you see the athlete. And if u see a pro player talking or taking a picture oooooooo they cheating , people assume before asking and also its no one business what athletes do off the court or field. you pay money to see them perform on the field or court not offseason stuff. people more worry bout what they do off the court then what they do on it. there’s always teo side to the road. Remember ladies everywoman wants a thug or tough guys in bed or relationship , well every man wants a woman to be supafreak behind close doors. if a man not doing what he need to do then u may get to wonder whats out there, well same with man. more comment send me a note to thegift_03

    Look folks..we really need to stop playin ourselves and pretending to be so naive.The concept of Marriage was invented over 500 years ago by the state.The average life- span during those times were around 32 years of age, therefore it was a hell of a lot easier to say”Until Death Do Us Part” because you were only looking at about a 8 to 10 year marriage.Folks oftentimes lived in tribes or rural areas with nobody around for 100 miles. Women married men because of their ability to hunt and provide safety. Compare all of that today in a fast-paced world whereby we all all intertwined and inter-dependent and meet so many people on a daily basis.Some women who are afraid to admit it got good jobs and good careers by giving up the P***Y to the man who would make the hiring decision, but you don’t see them coming home telling their Dear Hubby about it.We are all human and will never be able to escape our true naturistic purpose as it relates to us being male or female.Like one of the brotha’s said before, cheating has been done from Biblical Times often by some of the most prominent leaders in human society. We need to seriously consider marriage contracts that are renewable every 3 years so we as Western citizens can be more realistic of what marriage is and all about. This would create a hell of a lot of revenue and jobs as a result of “Renewal Marriage Ceremonies” and those who feel like they need to move on will be free to do so.I think most honest men have no intention of cheating on their wives and do use self-control but unless we are all willing to adopt strict Islamic values or update penalties for men who cheat (i.e. 10 years in prison,stoneing in the market square)then women need to really get on “Ophrah’s Website” and do all they can to fight for and keep their man and realize that he won’t and never will be perfect.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sekoo63/ sekoo63

    I lived next door to a varsity ball player in college. Different women would come by and “serve it up” it up regularly. And he had a steady girl that he eventually married. It has to be a 1000 times more intense for a professional athelete.

    I’m surprised that any woman would put up with knowing that thousands of women are pushin up on her man! But apparently many do.

    At the same time, I cannot pass judgement on the athlete. It would be impossible for the average man to turn down some of the women that approach them. But I’m still trying to figure out why Kobe did the hotel prostitute! Kobe gots some issues that aint got nuthin to do with sports.

Men today are like marrige? You want a ring I’ll buy you one! you want to go to a church I’ll get my suit!

    They forgot to put the word Star before athlete, because there are over 360 athletes in each major sport like basketball/football/baseball. So a list of 12 players that cheat which are stars in their respective sport doesn’t represent every athlete that is married.

    Please define cheating??? B/c last time I checked it meant being unfaithful to you’re spouse. However is it called cheating when your spouse says its ok to go out and have sex with someone other than them. Example porn stars, strippers, escorts, and the list go on…So again, please define the word cheating????

    GOFAW, Good Old Fashion A$$ Whoopin’

    It is in error to generalize all athletes or anyone into a category of “cheaters.” I believe there are some who really love their wives, kids and family, thus they do NOT cheat.

    When a person really loves someone, they go out of their way to ensure that the person they love is NOT hurt. The problem is too many people are looking at surface, superficial things instead of the “core” of a person. That takes too much time for some and SEX is too often the object of the game.

    Hence, all the child support, baby momma/daddy drama, She is a w***e/gold-digger/just want money, he is a w***e/cheater/dogg/liar/getting shot by his jump off etc. We need to find out who we are and what we want, I PROMISE this will alleviate most of the trouble.

    Running around making babies with women you don’t know (or getting shot by them), getting knocked up by men you “think” are good men or got money, only creates children who grow up with holes in their souls because they didn’t have their FATHERS in their lives. A child support check, Nikes, Jordans, Juicy Couture, Ralph Lauren Pole, Gucci shoes DO NOT…I REPEAT DO NOT and cannot substitute that time spent sitting on daddy’s lap, that embrace from a father, that affectionate touch from a father (which helps children learn BASIC TRUST).

    We have really reduced the role of fathers in children’s lives to sperm donation and financial support (for those who get it). Too many men think that “check” is all they are responsible for…WRONG. KNOW THIS: FATHERS are the primary parents, not mothers. So when we grow up without that relationship with our fathers, we don’t know how much that damages us.

    Whether we want to believe it or not, this is the MAIN problem plaguing our society…Men not understanding their roles and women not understanding the importance of man’s role as a father.

    Now, how many athletes have grown up without their fathers? Many of which are good at their sport because they are seeking to prove they are worthy, be validated and/or PROVE to their absent fathers that they can “make it” even without them being their. However, NONE will just admit the rejection which often leads to rebellion, pain and even the tears shed because their fathers were NOT there.

    Many men who grow up without their fathers, judge (to speak on something out of contempt rather than conviction) their fathers. And in doing so, they unknowingly(without consciously realizing it) do the exact same things to their children because anything we judge, we are subjected (if not doomed) to do it.

    Too many try to fill that hole created by absent fathers with success (all gain is not Godliness), sex, drugs, alcohol, work, material things and they NEVER realize that none of those natural (tangible) things will fill it because that emptiness is on a spiritual level. Only God can fill and only God can heal.

    God will turn the hearts of the fathers back to the hearts of the children and then we will see more healthy, successful and blessed relationships. Not just for athletes but for everyone.

    Athletes can probably be as good a husband as the next man. You only hear about the cheating ones, not the hundreds of others that keep their marriages and relationships true. However, personally, I wouldn’t want my daughters to marry an athlete. The money and lifestyle is daunting, but at the end of the day, I think there is less pressure on the everyday accountant, doctor, lawyer, etc. to misbehave. I also think with so many women so easily accessible, it makes athletes devalue a good woman in their minds. They think of them as just a piece, so to speak, on a lease plan. When it gets too much mileage, you turn it in. A woman that truly values herself wants a man to value her beyond the time she’s still perfect and has no stretch marks. Atheletes, so many of them, use women and cast them aside–like trading up for a new toy. Also, women need to think about things that could happen worse than their husband cheating on them (permanent diseases, for example). Women need to really start looking at a guy’s charactor before they start bedding down with him and making babies. Money is NOT everything.

    READ IT ALL THE WAY FIRST! Prejudging anyone because of sex, race, orientation, faith, age and so on is easy for those who act self-righteous as even I have done in the past. IT seems that we are hardest on those who get caught-up in controversy. News of others Infidelity, scandal of corruption, money problems, secret trysts, drug usages feed the fire. If the men/women involved each have different outcomes One party may have unrealistic expectations and can’t accecpt it when the other person doesn’t feel the same. Rape, Murder, Suicide, Addiction, Sex, Gambling are tempting and hard to ignore. Mix any two of these and someones always gets hurt. Age should give us wisdom but desires of the flesh can all bring out the worst in us. I pray for the families left with question left unanswered. The recent murders /suicide that made headline speaks for is self.
    I pray for the 4 young boys who are now without a father (even if he was a cheater long-time)his wife who must now be stronger than ever through this tragedy. That said Facts; He was married, a repeat player with many women coming at him who saw him as $$$$$$$ this is how it is, She and he were of legal age. This lifestyle that led them to their outcome did not have to be. (Sorry it happen but now men need to check (themself) before getting young women all gased up in thinking they the next mrs, baller wife. FEMALE THINK WITH YOUR HEAD NOT WITH WHAT BETWEEN YOUR LEGS! How much money would be be able to spend on the jump-off, chick on the side if he had child support for four kids and a ex-wifey to take care of? I am not judging them as nobody is perfect but 2 wrongs don’t make a right. Big baller’s bewear; now the playmates are acting out and getting guns to shoot 2 kill. Guess wifey don’t have to get the frying pan to go up side players head, the crazy young thing will take care of cheating males. Don’t hater the messenger! Husbands bewear she (babygirl, jump-off) just might not cry boo hoo and go away quietly.
