Travis Henry
It was interesting to read the three columns about Travis Henry’s fatherhood of 9 children by 9 different women (August 28).
When my children were in elementary school, then Governor Roy Romer brought several Broncos players to their school. They were presented as role models to persuade students to remain in school and stay away from drugs. One was a well-known spouse abuser.
When I complained to the principal that these players were not good role models for my two daughters, she protested and said I should appreciate their willingness to “give back to the community”.
Several of the writers of these articles ask, “Is this any of our business?”
For me it is not if he just plays football; it is if some idiot decides to invite him to a school or youth program as a role model.
And I am betting they will!

Some role model. I wonder how much welfare the mothers are taking when he should be paying for all of it.
Posted by on September 4, 2007 02:08 PMTravis Henry may not be fortunate enough to play in a Super Bowl during his NFL career as the majority who make it to that level never do. However, he should be somewhat consoled that he may be in contention for winning the Breeder's Cup.

Posted by on September 4, 2007 04:42 PMWhat henry should do is take custody of all 9 kids and take care of them all. IT IS CLEAR that all 9 mothers were probably just trying to get a free paycheck off henry here.

They weren't...
Either that or that they were going to seduce and marry a rich NFL player.
Posted by on September 4, 2007 05:31 PMThe article was as funny as Fathers Day in Harlem. The poor children, a b---- for a mother and a father who doesen't want them. God bless them.
Posted by TwoElks on September 4, 2007 07:19 PMBoring. What about Tom Brady? I would much rather read about the whoremongers and draft-dodgers (surrender monkeys, defeatist, BENEDICT ARNOLDS, and communist-siders), running as '08' GOP prez candidates. Some fit in both categories. Henry isn't running for elected office. I thought we had rid ourselves of bedroom police officers, like Frances and Bill "family values" Owens.

Dude, Get some help.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 06:36 AMTravis Henry is also a poor citizen. He continually parks in a secondary fire lane in my complex.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 07:31 AMNext thing you'll see on this post is 40acres claiming that Henry was one of the black 55% KIAs in Nam; or was waterboarded in NO, so we should cut him some slack.
40acres, the whining professional victim and fabricator of facts seeking that free government cheese.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 09:26 AMThe entire issue of Travis Henry centers on a total lack of respect. Women who lack self-respect, and a man who doesn't respect women, or his children, and could care less about anyone ever respecting him again.
Travis, be a man, not an animal.
Anyone who looks at a pro sports person as a role model needs their heads examined. A bunch of overpaid whiners. Millions to play a sport? I dont get it...
Posted by on September 5, 2007 12:34 PMPay them what they are worth...about $60,000 a year. Then take the ticket sale money and give it back to the taxpayers who paid to build the stadiums.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 01:08 PMAgreed, if that pay is good enough for our teachers, fireman, and cops....it's definately good enough for an athlete.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 01:11 PMWho does T. Henry think he is?? The Kennedy clan!!
OMG I am going to take him off my fantasy football team and put him on waivers!
He 's not supposed to father children let alone 9 of them...no matter how much he's paying in child support ...it's our business to tell him what a naughty boy he is!
Agree with A...none of our business.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 05:55 PMHey Pat Bowlen and Coach Shannahan, how about putting saltpeter on the Broncos training table. They can't procreate, if they can't get it up.
Posted by on September 5, 2007 11:00 PMTravis Henry has reinforced the stereotype of black people in America.Have babies out of wedlock with lots of different fathers and not get child support even if the father is a millionaire.
I bet a white person couldn't get away with that.
