The New York Post vs. Antonio Cromartie

Lately, it seems the New York Post has taken an interest in Antonio Cromartie. Less than one week ago, Susan Edelman wrote a one-sided slam piece on Cromartie's legal issues with the mother to one of his children. Edelman apparently did not reach out to Cromartie, despite filling her article with quotes from the contrary point of view. Obviously, the Post isn't exactly a bastion of journalistic integrity, so Terricka Cromartie, wife of Antonio, had a few things to say in response:

It amazes me that you have to wake up to BS every morning. A mother who loses their child because she is on drugs and prostituting. A mother

— Lady Cro (@iluvTERRICKA) March 22, 2015

She doesn't take care of her child. But No you will never see an article about my husband and how much his children loves him, and cry

— Lady Cro (@iluvTERRICKA) March 22, 2015

Because they want to be with him. Nor will you see her write about how our son was dragged kicking and screaming by a sheriff out of

Just my opinion. Write about that

— Lady Cro (@iluvTERRICKA) March 22, 2015

She hates for anyone to have anything positive to say about my husband that she has to always try to find a negative. Well I'm sorry

— Lady Cro (@iluvTERRICKA) March 22, 2015

But there is no negative. My husband is actually a really good person, father, friend, son etc. he is respected and loved by many. In 10

— Lady Cro (@iluvTERRICKA) March 22, 2015

He has never been in trouble with the Law or been in trouble with any of his Teams. find a life please

— Lady Cro (@iluvTERRICKA) March 22, 2015

I will leave with this.. If you was doing what you were suppose to be doing as a mother you would have never lost your child.

After reading this perspective, Edelman's side looks horribly one-sided, but I won't pretend to know the true story, so I'll leave both sides of the story for you to judge. Obviously, Cromartie has had his demons in the past, and seems to have met them head on. He's gotten his finances in order, and seems to have his life under control. But again, the Post seems intent on slandering Cromartie, for whatever reason.

Today, Phil Mushnick came out with an article entitled "Congrats, Jets fans! Your PSL money goes to this ‘baby papa.'" This isn't a journalistic piece, and there doesn't appear to be a point to the article other than a continual reminder of how many children Cromartie has through mildly racist undertones, in what isn't Mushnick's first brush with offensive statements. My favorite part is when Mushnick calls Jets fans "unconditional imbeciles." One reader from reddit reached out to Mushnick to explain how upset he was at the extremely unprofessional article, that it was racist, and asked if Mushnick knew Cromartie on a personal level. Here's the response he got back:

Excellent spelling, chief. Very professional. The only question I have is if the Post is filled with Jets fans, because in their battle against Cromartie, they've seemingly enlisted every available unconditional imbecile with a thesaurus.
