Ever notice this doesn't happen to white players?

That's because white players quickly settle down and have families.

Drew Brees' kids announcing their father's retirement on Instagram.

There are many cases of black athletes having a half-dozen kids by different women and paying thousands a month in child-support.

What the NFL and other sports leagues should have done was to put rookies who sign a huge deal into a 30-day financial and social program that teaches them the value of money & staying out of trouble.

Some teams do that, but the NFLPA should really be the organization driving it.

They do already, and have been.
I’m not sure if you pay attention, but young black males have an impulse control problem...

30 days won’t undue the hood mentality nor the entitlement mentality ingrained in many of the players.

I think all rookies do that, but just the money part. The NFL doesn't have the stones to lecture black players on behavior. And I don't blame them. Well intentioned good advice will get you sued into oblivion these days.

Thugs are thugs. White black or brown.
Plenty of white thugs out there as well.
I do not agree with your assertion that “this doesn’t happen to white players”

Plus vasectomies with regular follow-up fertility tests. Videos of the reactions from future gold diggers/baby momma wannabes upon learning the sad news would be priceless.
