The agreement Jones had with the mother is with the mother. It excuses Jones from any legal and moral obligation he has to her as a co-parent. It does not satisfies his moral obligations as the father to the child.

As a society we tend not to recognize that children have any kind of legal right to parental affection, but its pretty clear that Jones has opted not to fulfill that moral duty. He has given what amounts to pocket change to this girls mother, but no amount of money can substitute for not having a father.

Legally the woman cannot demand anything on the basis of that, but morally I'm all for her taking Jones for a ride. Fuck the guy. When you bastardize your own children, you are the bastard.

some context: currently a lot of global fencing is run by ex-Soviet fencers who fled for one reason or another. so already, there is not much love for Russia in the sport outside of Russia. Ukraine in particular is a cornerstone of the sport having many of the best forges historically, and a huge number of fencers come out of the country. So there is a lot of pro-Ukraine attitude in the sport. Even some Russians who have fenced recently for ROC, have since left the country and spoke out against Ukraine.

however, Russia also is a huge monetary influence in fencing, with an oligarch having run the FIE for the past decade basically out of pocket. this is why the decisions made by the board don't necessarily reflect the attitudes of fencers.

"the bitch" decided that the pocket change of a billionaire was not sufficient to offset the moral obligation to fulfill ones parental obligations.

I tend to agree with her. If Jerry Jones wants to make bastards of his children, then I'm all for those children taking every penny they can from him.

My guy, he's BEEN paying, did you even read the article? This bitch just decided he wasn't paying enough, despite a free ride thru college and a brand new Range Rover on her 16th Bday.

But honestly, it's probably less about the money and more about what being Jerry Jones' daughter could do for her political career

Small installments? No, I'm saying that the woman was a consenting party when she chose to have sex with a married man, so there's fault on both sides. She also was a consenting party when she signed an NDA which included millions of dollars in payments from Jerry jones over the course of her daughter's childhood and college years. Does that make Jerry Jones a saint? No, obviously not, but it's not much different than if they had gotten divorced and she was given custody. He paid his child support payments.

He's already admitted to being the father and has paid millions to her mother based on an agreement they signed years ago. You could call him a "deadbeat" for not wanting to be involved in her life, I suppose, but he's paid out plenty of money to give her a very good quality of living over the years.

Except you are objectively wrong.

Edit: You did respond. You named multiple guys who had their best seasons after injuries, one guy who basically stopped being a running QB after one season (McNabb) and another who never was a running QB (Culpepper).

I bet you are like 20 and never watched Abby of these guys play. Three of them played for my team and I watched them all.
