Here’s the thing. Why do we really need BET to produce a show called We Got To Do Better? In addition to the fact that it sucks, we already have something similar. It’s called the newspaper. And most of those tales are far more cautionary than grainy YouTube clips of ignorant people doing ignorant shit.

Take 28-year-old Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry, for instance. The man has a $25 million contract, he makes roughly $50,000 a month, he recently spent $100,000 on a car and $146,000 on jewelry. And he has 9 kids by 9 different women scattered across four Southern states. Unfortunately, he has a bit of trouble paying their child support.

Things are so bad that he once had to borrow $9,800 from the Tennessee Titans so he wouldn’t miss a payment, and now a judge is requiring him to set up a $250,000 trust to ensure he has the money to pay every month. According to his lawyer, Henry has “significant financial issues.” Clearly, he’s too broke to buy a damn condom.

This is a damn fool. 9 kids by 9 women in 4 years? And who are these women letting an NFL player have unprotected sex with them?

These women think they are going to get paid. Bottom line. Let’s not forget there are lots of women who are willing to do anything - incl having a kid - if they think some money is going to come their way.
