RIP

its sad how little wrong a black man has to do to be considered some sort of thug/gangster, etc. dude was from a middle class family and his dad is a police chief. he had one run in with someone who he thought had stolen his property and so many people are quick to think he must have brought it upon himself when he's gunned down in his own house



so friggin true. The ESPN column about Taylor "turning his life around" is a complete joke/insult.

I think any athlete, rather white or black, is going to get this treatment after being fined multiple times and having run ins with people with loaded weapons, DUIs, and the like.

His own (black) teammates talked about how he had "grown up" while he was in surgery which implies he had some growing up to do.

Sean Taylor clearly did not have a sparkling reputation, regardless of where he came from.

Playing the race card is pretty weak.

It sucks that he died though, I don't think anyone is arguing with that.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that almost all 21 year olds have some growing up to do...

Wow I am a heartless bastard, this is a sick joke setup.

Disclaimer: you guys can make all the jokes about me you want when I'm dead, I'm positive I wont care.

Seriously just when I thought the Redskins couldn't run any worse. Taylor was my 2nd fav player in the NFL (<3 Chris Cooley) and was the heart of the Skins defense. Crushing blow to the organization. Dude was a top 3 safety and was 24, definitely could have ended his career as the greatest safety ever. RIP, I will be wearing my jersey proudly today despite it being a Tuesday.

Does every thread on 2p2 have to be derailed by complete and total idiocy?

[T-God]

Obviously alot of the earlier comments in this thread look super insensitive now that we know that he didn't pull through, but seriously people, what Dids said really isn't a big deal. Stop acting like he shot him. Even if it bothered you, just ignore it and move on.



Back on topic: this is very sad. He was pretty young and already one of the top safeties in the league. Such a waste.

No, just the ones that Dids chooses to read.

well, given that the vast majority of posters are complete and total idiots, yes.
