Professional shithead Phil Mushnick is at it again, opining in his unbelievable-even-for-the-Post column that Adrian Peterson deserves some blame for the beating death of his 2-year-old son, a son that until recently he didn't know he had.
After establishing without a doubt Peterson's thugged-out bonafidesāhis father did prison time, Peterson once received a ticket for speedingāthe master concern-troll dives right into the heart of the matter.
The suspect in the beating murder of Petersonās 2-year-old is the boyfriend of Petersonās ābaby mamaā ā now the casual, flippant, detestable and common buzz-phrase for absentee, wham-bam fatherhood.
With his resources, how could Peterson, the NFLās MVP, have allowed his son to remain in such an environment? Did he not know, or not care? Or not care to know? Or not know to care?
Peterson couldnāt have provided his son a better life, a longer life?
Money canāt buy love, but having signed a $96 million deal, he could not have provided his child ā apparently his second from a ābaby mamaā ā a safe home?
[...]
Maybe Petersonās son is just one more stands-to-reason murder victim, just another child born to just another ābaby mama,ā one more kid who never had a shot, anyway. Maybe, by now, even if we canāt accept it, we can expect it.
For those of you not from the New York area, please note that Phil Mushnick was the odds-on favorite to write this column. His once relevant media criticism has devolved into regular race-baiting, if not outright racism. He's written about Stephen A. Smith's "urban street-hip brotha yak" that supposedly appealed to "urban, street-talkin' sports fans." He decried the rise of black alternate jerseys as "gang fashion" meant to sell in "urban markets."
And, most famously, blasting the Nets for getting in bed with Jay Z:
As long as the Nets are allowing Jay-Z to call their marketing shots ā what a shock that he chose black and white as the new team colors to stress, as the Nets explained, their new "urban" home ā why not have him apply the full Jay-Z treatment?
Why the Brooklyn Nets when they can be the New York Nāāās? The cheerleaders could be the Brooklyn Bāāhes or Hoes. Team logo? A 9 mm with hollow-tip shell casings strewn beneath.
Nobody puts the scare in the scare quotes around "urban" quite like Phil Mushnick.
