Let's be real here. If a hot girl is DTF, I wonder how many of you would turn it down, religious beliefs or not. Although there's really no excuse for not wearing protection. That reminds me of MadTV's spoof of Outkast. "I'm sorry Mrs. Reed (oooh!), I thought she was on the pill."
He made a mistake in terms of his religious standings. But he's human, it's going to happen. So it's not really that big of a deal IMO. He'll do the right thing with the situation and that will be the end of it. It's not like this is some kind of scandal.
Dwight is a DAD!!!

Is this the guy who put up a Jesus sticker on the backboard during the slam dunk contest? The guy who wanted to replace the Jerry West sillhouette with a cross? LMAO
Oh, but it's his personal life and he can parade and push his religious beliefs only when it suits him and then claim the privacy angle when exposed as another religious hypocrite. LOL

Pat Riley down in Miami, has made the dancers sit/wait in the back during the game action, as they were on the sidelines before throughout the game....

Sorry this utterly ruins Dwight's credibility.
The great religious boy couldn't at least wrap up his willy?
As far as I'm concerned Mr. Smiles is just like many other NBA players. If we didn't learn about his kid until so late, God knows what else we don't know.
Next up: Dog fighting charges?

Well some of those concerns have been legitimate and expressed before he's proven to be easily suspectible to whoopie.
Not that I have a problem with Dwight getting some, but in this day and age, it's usually pretty easy to prevent a child if you do not want one yet.

They probably would.
Maybe not a normal ugly shlum, but Dwight is nice looking I suppose, and is a baller so he obviously can get any girl he wants. More so than this cheerleader can do with males.
You'd think he'd be more accustomed to it than some ugly fat guy who never gets any, or even could if he wanted to. Of course that guy would give in.

I dont understand the bashing. What a christian has never had a child out of wedlock? Grow up its a different society and time period. Whats more important is not that he did impregnate the girl, but how he handles the situation. And from all indications, Dwight will do the right thing and take care of the kid and be a good father.

It's nice to say, but I have serious doubts about most. It would take a really strong person. Not that they don't exist. But I don't believe many people can truly claim for certain what they would do. Just my opinion though.
I'm not gonna get mad and bash Dwight over this. I still believe he's a great guy. Until he proves it otherwise, I'm gonna chalk it up as making a mistake and move on.

Since you didn't specify, I'm just gonna have to assume that there's at least a little bit of homo in there.

I agree, but we're constantly bombarded about how great of a Christian he is. From him, from his family, from the media, from every possible angle.
And then he does one of the worst sins there is: sex out of wedlock. If he were so devout that's a pretty big no-no.
It's certainly because he's always held himself with such a high regard though. If this were Jameer I'd be congratulating him (does he have a kid?) because I haven't heard all of this devout crap out of his mouth.

That number would DEFINITELY be small.
Something religion also speaks highly of, the act of forgiveness....I'm not gonna get mad and bash Dwight over this. I still believe he's a great guy. Until he proves it otherwise, I'm gonna chalk it up as making a mistake and move on.

I specifically know some people. Most of them are ugly but still.
At any rate, if they claim to be so religious they deserve blame if they break certain things. At least acknowledge your weakness.

I'm not sure that it deserves to be relegated to blacks or any ethnicity, but it certainly doesn't help that even the religious/respectable NBA players are having kids out of wedlock with cheerleaders.

I'm not surprised. First of all, Dwight really is a good hearted young guy, no question about it. But he is VERY naive, he just screams naive. This is the same guy that was doing favours for a porn star.
He gave in, and now he has a kid. That ex cheerleader is the happiest young woman in Orlando $$$$$$$$$$. Even if they don't end up together, the money she will receive from child support yearly will be in the six figure range atleast. You guys think she didn't want this? She probably ripped the tip of the condom with her finger nails! By any means necessary is the mindset.
He's just a reflection of today's man, not putting the power in his own hands and believing in himself.
Way to go Dwight, another one for the gold-digger.

You guys are speaking out of skew based on what way you live and perceive things.
I'm not saying there are tons of 22 year old virgins, but there's probably more people than you care to acknowledge that are if they wish to remain that way until they are married. Trouble is, most people don't even attempt to make the claim. I certainly didnt.
On forgiveness, I agree it is preached. Let God judge his action not us. Too bad that assumes that we're as religious as Dwight is and that we practice it.
