BRUTAL. And here I always thought holding a kid meant nobody could beat the shit out of you. The unwritten rule of street brawls. Kids are like the best shield in the world. Remember when Allen Iverson would bring out his kids to press conferences after bad losses? It’s kinda the same thing. No reporter will ask you a mean-spirited or hard question with your baby sitting right there. It’s not nice. It’s rude. We can’t be showing these little ones how terrible the world is. At least not yet. They’re the perfect cover for a fight. “Oh you wanna fight me? Too bad my baby is on my lap otherwise ID KICK YOUR ASS. But I was raised better than that.” At least that’s what I thought. Not anymore. It’s like my man Slim Charles once famously said. Game’s the same, just got more fierce. In this case, that means people will still drag you by your hair and beat the fuck outta you in front of your own kid. Shameful shit.
