Child support is necessary as it helps to prevent poverty and discourages men from leaving. Encouraging strong families is important in any civilization. $132,000 a year does sound like a lot, but it honestly isn't that much for someone planning to make 47 million dollars (He was released early and lost out on 8 million of the 55 million). If child support is paid for 18 years, the man will have contributed 2.376 million dollars to the upbringing of his child.

Also, the many who have criticized child support seem to have no issue with McCalister having wasted tens of millions on God knows what, but they have a problem with him having to invest 2.376 million in his child.

The numbers for his income change after tax, but It's still absurd that he was able to spend all of it just a couple years out of the NFL.

I do believe there are women who want to get impregnated by these rich athletes. That 's a part of our culture. There are women who have children from multiple men just so they can receive more welfare benefits. Nobody ever said that life was fair.

The other sad thing about this is that the mother gets to manage the child support money when it's obvious the child needs third party oversight to manage this kind of jack. Might be wrong about this, but I doubt the mother is doing a great job of managing 11,000 a month for the long-view.

No doubt....you gotta think there would be all kinds of strategies to defer that kind of quick capital over a longer term than the few short years he earned it. Wow...
