One really has to feel sorry for the plight of the male professional athlete. He's swimming in pools of cash, has hot women throwing themselves at him from wall to wall and apparently has not one clue on how a condom works (or where to buy one for that matter of fact).
Enter Broncos running back Travis Henry.
He has a $25 million contract, he's bought a $100,000 car, dropped $146,000 on jewelry ... and yet finds himself a tad on the broke side when it comes to those essential, but oh so pesky, child support payments.
You see, Henry, 28, has nine children ... from nine different women ... in at least four southern states.
(To say he's been a busy man would be quite the understatement.)
He's been ordered to establish a $250,000 trust to cover a new $3000/month child support payment due to his, let's just say, not-so-conservative spending habits.
Funny, how Henry signed a contract with the Broncos in the off-season that guarantees him $12 million and yet had nothing but lint in his pocket for child support.
Funny? No.
Try sad. Really, really, sad.
Nevertheless, Henry's lawyer, Shiel Edlin, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Henry wants to be a good parent. "I know these are a lot of kids, and there might be some questions about it, but he's a really committed father."
I'm sure we can all agree, nothing says commitment like skipping out on child support or buying shiny new spinners instead of feeding your children.
But on the real, nine kids ... by 28? Did Usher's 'Confessions' teach us nothing? Wrap it up, people.
Wrap ... it ... up.
1. Having sex without a condom can get you more than a baby, and I don't know why these people think that being a professional athlete, will make you immune to that. Didn't Majic Johnson teach you anything?
