Tracy Morgan said it best, “Hoes be winning.” For today’s groupie, a meal ticket is so 2005. Groupies today are all about "that life," and the fastest way to that life is found with any athlete or entertainer within digging reach. The lifestyle these men lead allows them to think “It ain’t tricking if you got it,” and boy…they are out here tricking. And shamefully, some of these guys are simpin’ too. Whether these men are trickin’ or simpin’, if a groupie has that “good good” then her life is great.
Football season is here, and the NBA lockout is a reality. Don’t underestimate the groupie, they know what's up. To the groupie, the NBA lockout is the equivalent of the 2008 stock market crash. The groupies need the NFL more than the fans need the NFL. This upcoming NFL season, the groupie wants to “just do it” and these NFL players “hear the footsteps” of fake red bottom heels coming.
As part of Complex.com's week-long NFL Preview, we surveyed several NFL players to get a glimpse into just what the groupie scene is like these days. We offered them anonymity in exchange for their candor. Here’s what they had to say.
By Richard Boadu for 6Magazine
1. How big of a problem are groupies?
"You really have to protect yourself. Now, not every baby mama is a groupie, but you see a lot of women seeking the benefits of NFL players. I try to be fair that women are naturally attracted to successful men and that [includes] athletes. But now with groupies, it’s a bigger beast." - An NFC South Pro Bowler
"A big problem because a lot of guys that never really had ‘em before have ‘em now, and they don’t now how to act with the new attention. Groupies are really bad because they destroy homes. A lot of these players are married with children. These groupies don’t give a fuck at all about a man being married. They just care about themselves and what they can get out the situation." - A free agent safety
"Not a problem unless you let them be a problem." - One of the best defensive tackles in the game
2. What city has the most?
"New York, L.A., Miami, Houston, Vegas and wherever the big events are." - A cornerback for a team on the East Coast
"Miami, L.A. and Phoenix." - An East Coast Pro Bowler
"Dallas, Houston…especially Atlanta, and Jacksonville has them too. The women in Puerto Rico and Brazil are easy but they really could care less that you play in the NFL. They just know that you’re from out of town and want to show you a good time." - A free agent safety
3. What city has the least?
"I don’t know. They are everywhere really. If I had to pick a city, I’d say Buffalo." - NFC East Pro Bowler
"Any city without a pro team." - An NFC South Pro Bowler
4. What city has the hottest groupies?
"Houston, L.A. and Miami." - An NFC South Linebacker
"You can never go wrong with Atlanta, and Miami would be a close second." - State of Florida lineman
"Phoenix for sure." - A current Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion
5. What city has the ugliest groupies?
"Since they are small towns, Buffalo or Green Bay. They may have some diamonds in the rough though." - AFC East rookie

"Groupies are really bad because they destroy homes. A lot of these players are married with children. These groupies don’t give a fuck at all about a man being married. They just care about themselves and what they can get out the situation." Uh no, jerk! Assholes who can't keep his dick in his pants because he isn't man enough to say "no, I'm married" and show self restraint are the ones who destroy homes. I feel sorry for any female that ends up with the d-bag who said that quote.

Well, the men clearly don't care about their marriage either. Both parties are wrong; men, don't get married if you want to shop around and for the females, don't try and take what's not yours. She knew he was married when she met him and he knew she was a gold-digging hussy when he met her. Simple.

I agree with the NFC South defender..a lot of those females want one thing and that is ATTENTION..now when he isn't getting attention neither is she...so of course they will divorce the guy..but you'll NEVER find your wife chopping it up with a bunch of athletes in the damn club..that's just stupid

this is some bullshit! I been approuch by two nfl players on social network... I was minding my own damn business... one of them play'd for the rams! he actually told me the first time we talk that he was a NFL player. Now I told myself if he was really looking for true love he wouldnt told me this.... he didnt even know me and he gave me his damn house sercurity code to go into his crib... of course I took advantage of it just like they took advantage of them hoes... So, I goes in, it was a nice crib but of course he wanted some sex... I didnt have sex.. dude was very moody but at least he made sure I got home safe... then a month later I get a contact from his girlfriend... of course I told her everything and now he doesnt talk to him... fuck them cus some of them put themselve in that position

Cont then the other NFL I use to talk to... i liked him a lot! But i liked him before he was a NFL... he was just a broke negro working as a bouncer for clubs, we were 19..... Even though he didnt like me, we remain friends UNTIL 4 YEARS LATER WHICH IS THIS YEAR GOT BE A DALLAS NFL PLAYER...to be honest i didnt know until he told me... i told him congrats, im proud of him... dude send me a naked pic of him sayin i should send a naked pic of myself...im like wtf! I didnt like him like that anymore and plus i felt disrespected.... then, on fb, I commented on his pic say "EW j/k" but i was playing and we always play like that.... He got mad and said that I was thirsty.... I comment back and said "how amd I thirsty, im not like you sending me naked pics" so he said i was ugly and that i was lying and deleted on fb .... SOME NFL players can be dumb... now I got a naked pic of dude who plays for Dallas SMH BUT i am a good person... i am not going to post the pictures of him cus I am a reborn christian .... Remember I rejected this guy to from sex and I still got treated bad....

Two things I've learn from this article NFC South Defender was the truth. Stay away from athletes.

I'm not going to lie, I was never one to sleep around. But when I was younger, I use to preference athletes. Mainly because they were tall and I was tall sooooo. But as I got older I learned (the hard way) don't get so caught up on the flashy guys that have women falling out of their pockets that you miss the good guys who really like you for you.
