Mr. Foster: I was alerted to this article by Mr. Brian Arnold himself. I am impressed at the emotion and dedication that he exhibits for his "players", however, his emotion, dedication and responsibility to his own biological children leaves much to be desired. Society places so much emphasis and worth on sports and sports figures without caring about the real character of these people. While Brian Arnold pours out his heart, time and soul into basketball, he neglects the financial care and responsibility, time and dedication to his own daughters. He hasn't seen either of them in nearly 7 years and has made no effort to do so. You, see, basketball is much more important. Brian Arnold almost missed the much valued playoffs because he was in the Wayne County jail charged with felony child support delinquency in the amount of $83,000. He and his great attorney came up with the idea to present a motion to get him released in time for the playoffs. Because the playoffs are, again, very important. The motion stated that the plaintiff, myself, had agreed to withdraw claim to any and all child support owed and enter into a private agreement to resolve the issue. Well, I am here to tell you that is a motion based on fiction and outright deceit. So there, your hero is actually no hero at all. He is just one of the many deadbeat, no good biological fathers running around Detroit. You're a reporter, check it out. The Wayne County Friend of the Court case numbers are: 1998-863511 and 1996-666309. Check the jail records for February 22 and they will verify, that yes indeed, he was there. Let's see where your sense of importance lies. Let's see if you write and print this story with the vigor that the sports story was written and printed.....
