Urlacher Baby Mama Drama Continues

By Karl Klockars in News on Nov 26, 2008 8:25PM

babydiaperchange1126.jpgThe Joliet Herald-News reports this morning that Brian Urlacher's baby mama, Tyra Robertson, has filed a claim in Will County court that states that Urlacher's son, Kennedy, has taken to wearing pink diapers and wearing blue nail polish on his toes. We're not sure exactly where in the penal code this counts as child abuse, but it gets better - Robertson seems to believe that this is reason enough to keep Brian from seeing his kid. Can someone get Jeffrey Leving on the phone? Brian needs some Father's Rights representation, stat.

Robertson and Urlacher's lawyers have been wrangling back and forth to keep little Kennedy's visitation for Brian, and Robertson's lawyer said that Tyra "would allow the visitation, so long as Urlacher put away the Bears-blue nail polish and diapered their son in gender appropriate pull-ups."

If the story is indeed true - and the presence of a photo of painted nails on the Sun-Times site indicates it is - we'd like to take back all the negative things we've ever said about Brian Urlacher. If he wants to teach his kid that there are no such thing as gender roles, then more power to him. As long as none of it is actually hurting the child, then who gives a shit if he puts on nail polish and pink diapers? (Although it might have been a slightly better idea to alternate with blue and orange, Brian. Just a thought.)

If Kennedy Urlacher was Brian's daughter instead of his son, would we be hearing stories about camouflaged diapers and playing with GI Joes? If Urlacher's daughter started cover-2 plays as a defensive end at the local playlot, would there be legal paperwork filed about that? We doubt it.

Go get 'em, Kennedy. Wear whatever you want. Be a creative little 3-year-old. The world will pummel it out of you eventually, so live a little bit when you're young. When you're a sophomore in high school and everyone expects you to be kicking ass on the Junior Varisty team, you'll look back on this freedom and be glad your dad let you have a little fun. We've got your back. Just don't turn into a spoiled little brat later on because your dad let you get away with a few things. And hang onto this link, just in case. Got it?
