Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
See my post above. Joe Kennedy isn't exactly a household name. At least among houses with football fans in them, Sean Taylor is. Also, murdered in his home vs. died of natural causes makes the Taylor story more newsworthy.

[ QUOTE ]
"Dids: Bad comment about a guy who was likely about to die" Isn't the case in the least. How about "factual statement that wasn't flattering about the guy who was dying". [/ QUOTE ] As someone who wasn't offended by your original comment, I'm really confused as to why you continue posting in this thread. Your comments are serving no good other than to piss off other posters. A lot of people took offense to what you said and further defending that won't change their minds and just makes you look like more of a douche. Restating your original post in an even worse fashion is only going to give you negative attention. If you weren't so hellbent on defending an insensitive comment people wouldn't hate you so much.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Hypothetical question: If the football player who was wasn't a starter or elite player like Sean Taylor, would we be just as sad and have a thread this long about it? I really don't think so [/ QUOTE ] Not football, but baseball middle-of-the-road pitcher Joe Kennedy just died at age 28 from yet to be explained (as far as I know) causes, and nobody seemed to care much at all. Apparently good, 24 year old football player getting murdered is way more tragic than average 28 year old baseball player going naturally.* *Again, I'm not up-to-speed on the details of Kennedy's death. [/ QUOTE ] ............... [/ QUOTE ] Going naturally at 28 is very tragic. How is it not? Getting murdered at basically the same age is, too, UNLESS the murder was triggered by misbehavior. Going out young naturally is never due to misbehavior, it's just bad luck with your genes. That is pretty tragic. You could also argue that hanging with the bad crowd and being murdered is also a symptom of bad genetic make-up, but it's easier to "fix" than, say, a degenerative heart problem. I'm not saying Taylor was murdered due to his own misbehavior, but that question may never be answered.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
It is completely unnecessary and, really, unacceptable for anyone to say anything other than how sad this is. Let's not be so inconsiderate, people. Some of the comments in this thread are mind-boggling.

Re: Sean Taylor Shot at Home
Front page of MSN.com says "Whitlock: 'Black KKK' claims another victim".
Discuss.
