He Shoots, He Scores



I never thought anyone could give the Shawn Kemp's (seven kids by six women) or the Travis Henry's (11 kids by 10 women) a run for their money but I've got a name for you.

Desmond Hatchet

He's 29 and get this (insert drum roll music)...he's got 21 kids by 11 women. Mr. Hatchet you sir are a winner. Of course, I'm being facetious.

Yes. He's got Kemp beat by 2 touchdowns and he's got Henry, a football player for that matter, beat by a touchdown and a field goal. And here's the kicker: he's got a minimum wage job (which wasn't identified in the clip). So, if you are a resident of the state of Tennessee, you should be angry because you are paying for all those "x" and "y" chromosomes

I understand everyone has civil rights and the government shouldn't be telling people how many kids they can have BUT...Mr. Hatchet's case is utterly ridiculous. According to the clip, the state of Tennessee can only take half of his wages but considering he's on minimum wage that can't be a lot. And when you start dividing that 21 ways...we are probably talking a few dollars and even a fewer cents.

Obviously, Hatchet deserves every ounce of blame thrown his way but wait a minute, the women in this case are not angels and obviously they are not too bright either. It is not like he's worth millions and we can clearly see you are just after a piece of his money. That I can begrudgingly accept...I'm going to still call you trifling but we at least know you had a plan.

A friend had the best Facebook status to describe how I feel about the women: "Clearly Mr. "I'm 29 and I have 20-21 kids" is pitiful. But what's the adjective for baby momma #3-#11? Ignorance is bliss and it will also get you $1.89 in child support."

I laughed when I read the status message but clearly this isn't funny and baby momma No. 3 to No. 11 have some explaining to do. I can only imagine what they said to their parents. "Hey....mom and dad. I've got a surprise for you. I'm having a baby with Desmond. Yeah. He's got...um....I'm not sure how many kids he's got really."

Well, baby momma "No. 3 to No. 11" you should checked how many kids he had. You also should have done some research (based on the state you live in) on the child support laws. Most importantly, you should have made him wear a condom. Because clearly, you are not ready to be a mother if you are depending on a man with a minimum wage job and an exponential amount of illegitimate kids to support you. I thought people took STDs, STIs, HIV and AIDS seriously but we've found one extreme example of adults who don't get it.

Let's be real. This guy's game can't be that good that he convinced 11 women to let him go raw. It may be true but I just can't buy it. I also can't believe that there were nine women that just wanted to add onto this family tree. That may be true too but I just can't buy it.

Manlaw and womanlaw: This will probably never happen (because of civil rights laws) but the state of Tennessee needs to make an example of Mr. Hatchet and his bevy of women. The state shouldn't support any more kids that he has. Period. Not one penny. Also, the state should change the laws to go after 75 percent of his check or change the law that says after a certain amount of kids the percentage the state takes goes up. I'm not sure how you punish the women but I think if you start educating young women about the child support laws that might be a start. The basic premise should be this: the more kids a man has the less in child support you are going to get. So, it probably isn't wise to be baby momma No. 3 to No. 11. Let me backtrack again, maybe the state of Tennessee needs to get tough and start pushing vasectomies and tubal ligations. At least, these careless individuals can screw up their own lives and not bring innocent children into the world. Maybe even create a baby daddy or baby momma registry.
