Rick Reilly is a dumbass

[xXMASHERXx]

then you shouldnt have them

once you do you better get your shyt together and do the best you can to raise your child

I just dont agree with adoption unless its extreme circumstances and i just dont see any in this situation

she doesnt seem like some ratchet hoe who shouldnt be raising kids,she just didnt want to do it but now she wants to pop up and reek the benefits after somebody else did her job for 18 years

if she really cared about him like she says then she would respect his wishes and just go away but she not doing that is she?

Completely agree with this.

Completely agree with this.

If you agree with this, then don't ever complain about fukked up kids you see around this society.

RR is totally in the wrong on this and really has no right to judge Kaep for not wanting to reunite with his birth mother. It's the adopted child's right whether or not they want to pursue a relationship, if at all, with their birth parents. There is no right or wrong judgment Reilly or anyone else can place on Kaep, because they aren't in his shoes. He seems justified to me, as a fellow adopted child, because his moms came out of the woodwork as he was making a name for himself and getting that NFL money. Where was she in high school? Not trying the establish a relationship with him I bet.

I have no real desire to meet my birth mother, except for some geneological curiosities, but there's no animosity towards her. I'm more than content with my life and upbringing because I consider my adopted parents my real parents. I have the ability to track down and communicate with my birth mother and chose not to, so I empathize with Kaep, especially given the fame factor he has to deal with.

Rick Reilly wanted us to feel sorry for him after Armstrong misled him.
Now he says that his own adoptive daughter successfully met her birth mother, so Kaepernick should too! As usual, it's all about HIM.
Also, don't forget that Kaepernick's birth mother asked his parents to stop sending him pictures and updates about him when he was 7.
bytch wouldn't reappear if he was flipping burgers now, that's for sure

Why are people painting this woman out to be a bad person, she made a hard decision that many people in our society should make.

I am not making her out to be a bad person. But did she or did she not abdicate her responsibilities as a mother? Did she or did she not grant the rights to be his mother to someone else? Does anyone have the right to tell Colin Kaepernick that he should see his mom?

Let that man make the decision.

These are tough times for Rick Reilly: His own birth mother died (of shame probably) last year... and Lance Armstrong made him look like a jackass after defending him loudly for 10 years
