Child Support is bad for business. oh and getting married too

Former Ravens cornerback Chris McAlister made tens of millions of dollars in his NFL career, but he now says that he’s so broke he can’t afford to take care of himself or his child.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, McAlister wrote, “I have been unemployed since 2009. I have no income. . . . I live in my parent’s home. My parents provide me with my basic living expenses as I do not have the funds to do so.”

McAlister is asking the court to lower his $11,000 a month child support obligation to his ex-wife.

In 1999, McAlister was selected by the Ravens with the 10th overall pick in the draft. After playing out his rookie contract, McAlister signed a seven-year, $55 million extension in 2004. McAlister played five years on that contract before being released, then played briefly with the Saints before retiring.

I'm in favor of guys manning up and being a good father. A child or mother wanting for anything is totally shameful. That having been said, what the hell did this chick do to deserve 11K MONTHLY payouts??????

The payments were probably structured when he was still playing football and making bank. Plus, he is obligated to keep her in the lifestyle to which she has been accustomed. Sad, but true.
