And I say that is horse shit. The only thing from that wife beating steroid using piece of shit that belongs in the HOF is the ball that got branded with the asterisk.

Yeah, just read about that. Even admitted he thought she was 16 but didn't actually know. Complete nonstarter, that's just fucking heinous behavior. [Reply]

Different sport but Karl Malone might be worse [Reply]

Thats not pedophilia. She would have to be 13 or younger. 16 might not be illegal depending on the state. [Reply]

In 1998, the tabloid newspaper The Globe reported that Malone had been a defendant in paternity lawsuits, filed shortly after Malone began his professional basketball career in the late 1980s. The newspaper alleged that he was the father of three children: two by Bonita Ford, a woman approximately his age from his hometown of Summerfield, Louisiana, and one with Gloria Bell, who was 13 when she gave birth. Malone and Ford were both 17 when twins Daryl and Cheryl Ford were born;[54] Malone was a 20-year-old college sophomore when Bell, at age 13, gave birth to Demetress Bell.[55] In the aftermath of the Globe story, Malone met the Ford twins for the first time since visiting them in the hospital after they were born.[56] Malone did not meet with Bell at that time, and his attorney insisted that Malone had settled the lawsuits before any conclusive establishment of paternity and thus still did not know whether he was truly the father of any of the children.
The Tribune confirmed that the judge in the Bell lawsuit ruled Malone to be the father, not based on presented evidence, but rather because Malone did not respond to the suit. The paper also examined court documents detailing the evidence that was to have been presented had Malone responded and a trial ensued. One item listed was a laboratory blood test that concluded with over 99% certainty that Bell's father was either Malone or a brother of Malone. The paper also reported that applying the same blood sample to the Ford twins resulted in a similarly high probability of paternity by Malone.[57][58] According to the Tribune, Malone challenged the court's ruling with regard to Bell, claiming that the judgment holding him responsible for $125 per week in child support, plus past and future medical expenses, was excessive. Before Malone's appeal was adjudicated, the lawsuit was settled on confidential terms. In the case of the Ford twins, Malone was ruled to be their father when he violated a court order by refusing to reveal his assets or submit to a DNA test. Thereafter, another out-of-court settlement was reached.[57]
By the fall of 1998, Malone accepted his paternity of the Ford twins, and Kay Malone said publicly that the twins were members of the Malone family.[59] Since that time, Karl Malone has maintained a relationship with the twins, each of whom later played college basketball at his alma mater, Louisiana Tech. Cheryl Ford went on to a professional basketball career with the Detroit Shock of the Women's National Basketball Association.
Bell has played as an offensive lineman for the Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles, and Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. In 2008, The Buffalo News reported that Bell's first and only meeting with Malone came shortly after Bell graduated from high school. According to Bell, Malone told him then that it was "too late" for them to have a father–son relationship.[60] However, in 2014, the two repaired their relationship and were in regular contact by 2018.[61]
In 2018, Malone said about his relationship with his older children, "I didn't handle it right; I was wrong ... Father Time is the biggest thief that's out there, and you can't get that back."[61] [Reply]

The girl claims to have been 14 or 15 when they first started having sexual relations. He doesnt dispute anything other than he thought she was at least 16. He also, allegedly, made it a habit to court other under age girls around spring training.
If you want to sit there and bring up some technicality of depending on what state laws are in this situation and act like hes not a fucking piece of shit for having sex with what everyone would consider a very under age girl while being a 34 year old man, married, with kids, then you do you. In my book, he's a pedophile and he will NEVER be in the HoF. [Reply]

It’s kind of weird. He obviously is a piece of shit and you can find plenty of articles about it, but it also seems like few people know about this stuff with him.
Practically everyone I’ve told about this didn’t know. [Reply]

He's damned lucky that this shit predates social media. [Reply]
At no point in my lifetime was baseball more entertaining than when Bonds, Sosa and McGuire was slugging it out and players had personality. The 90's and early 2000's were a golden age of baseball. Honestly can't even name more than a couple of players now in the entire league. [Reply]
