So a quick edition today. This should wrap up faster than D-Wade's divorce trial.....(screeeech), uh not so much, as Ms. Ex-DWade just filed a lawsuit against the Union. No, not the NBA Union, but Gabrielle Union, the actress/new girlfriend. Apparently the ex's beef is with her kissing and hugging Wade in front of his kids. Did you read that: HIS kids. They are also his children and isn't that what he should be doing with his lady friend. Before you think I am siding with Wade, let me tell you this. I have read a few accounts of this story and three matching points from all led me to the same conclusion. She's bitter. Why, I'll tell you. First, he has tried to settle multiple times out of court, offers which she repeatedly turned down. Knowing that they are former high school sweethearts tells me that the man I believe Wade to truly be would have offered, I am sure, a nice meaty package (no pun intended). Though, I don't personally know Wade so I could be wrong. He could be low-balling her. But I doubt it. Secondly, he wants custody of the kids. She won't give it. As lady Dunn point blank told me, "She ain't giving up them kids. No real mother would." I think she is keeping them for the alimony and child support. Maybe not, but how many NBA father's do you see fighting for the right to raise their children? Wade explains that her mental instability is one of the main contributing factors in him wanting custody. How do I know this to be a certainty? Because Ex-Wade told her lawyers (her third set of representation BTW*), that his dating Union has caused emotional strife and stress to their children. If this were the case, would he really want them? Wouldn't the kids be completely against it? Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. This all brings me to my final point, Why even bring Gabrielle Union in it? Ex-Wade stated that her strong willed movie characters and sexual deviance's on screen have led to an eerie life-imitating-art kind of result. Or, those were characters in film and ex-Wade hasn't got a leg to stand on. Regardless, it is all a little crazy. All I know is this is very convenient considering Basketball Wives on VH1 (produced by Shaq's ex BTW) is getting no ratings. LOL But seriously, I smell a need to move on here. J/S
More to come as this develops.
*Because the first two removed themselves from the case citing "irreconcilable differences". Isn't this the reason for a divorce in the first place? How strong of a case does she have if even those representing her are bailing for lack of a valid argument?
In much better news, I am so proud of Milton Bradley for seeking help. Seriously. This is America and despite my beloved Virginia going by the wayside because of ignorant representation, I believe that all people should be given the benefit of help when they recognize that they have a problem. Milton used to be just crazy. Now I see that it's so much more. Raised in an inner city, single mom who worked hellish hours and couldn't pay bills, a constant need to succeed as a way of payback to said mother. I can't help but to understand him seeing that those also explained my upbringing. Am I crazy? No. Opinionated? Very. Simply put, I just see Bradley finally for what he is. The great part is, finally, so did he. Good luck buddy.
On a final note, to touch somewhat on the title, KUDOS!!!!! to the Suns for wearing the now even more socially conscious Los Suns jerseys. Lady Dunn stated this was a must do because alot of their fan base is Hispanic. Regardless, and this is all I will publicly say on the matter, regardless of what race you are, this entire country was generated on immigrants. How is it our right to deny them the rights that our ancestors, well half of my ancestors, or none of my ancestors if you ask Va's new government, had. Yes we live in different times, but in a rotten world this is the one thing I find great about America. Through all the turmoil this truly is the still the country that allows anyone to make it. ANYONE. So should we have safe guards? Of course. But asking a Mexican if he has papers is racist. Bottom-line.
