Don't Blame The Guy. LT Doesn't Card Hookers.

During an interview after he was sentenced to six years' probation on Tuesday, Lawrence Taylor made no apologies for visiting a prostitute. Speaking to Shepard Smith on Fox, Taylor did say that he did not look for an underage girl. The victim in the case was 16 at the time of the incident last May. In January, he pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute to avoid jail time. "That's not my M.O. I've been around kids and people all my life," said Taylor, a former New York Giants Hall of Fame linebacker. "I'm not the cause of prostitution. And sometimes I make mistakes and I may go out there, but I didn't pick her up at no playground. She wasn't hiding behind the school bus or getting off a school bus. This is a working girl that came to my room. And I don't know what her age was. I asked her age. She told me she was 19. It is what it is." Taylor blamed the institution of prostitution for the fact that he ended up with an underage girl. "It's the world of prostitution," he said to Fox. "You never know what you're gonna get. Is it gonna be a pretty girl, an ugly girl or whatever it's gonna be." Or a young girl? Shepard asked. "You can only ask," Taylor said. "I don't card them. I don't ask for birth certificate."

Let's get this out of the way. Yes, I accidentally googled "Lawrence of Arabia" and was too lazy to change the picture so we're just going with it. Whatever. You've come to the wrong place if you think I'm gonna bash on LT. Nobody forced this girl to become a whore. LT didn't call up and order a 16 year old because he's some pedophile and he shouldn't have to worry about her age like a bar owner. Just like he said, he already has to worry about the girl being pretty or ugly, don't make him demand a birth certificate and walking papers. My only question is how do these girls become prostitutes? I mean how morally corrupt do you have to be in order to become a hooker or a stripper? And that includes porn stars because they're basically glorified whores except they're protected by law because they're deemed actresses or some bullshit. I don't get it. It's like Jay Bilas once said, "where have all the good girls gone?"
