Re: Send a message to Kevin Everett
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I don't fault anyone for being emotionally affected by it [/ QUOTE ] I don't either. I just find the outpouring of concern etc to be a little odd considering what happens on a daily basis all over the place, to people who don't have a saftey net, and didn't make a choice to put themselves in harms way. Not saying I wouldn't be an NFL player myself if I wasn't a scrawny talentless dork. Not saying it's not tragic and sad. I have friends/acquaintences who play(ed) in the NFL. I just think the attention it gets is way out of whack. Keep in mind, this is coming from a person who finds it absolutely mind boggling that people cared so much about Princess Diana or Random Kennedy Dude dying. [/ QUOTE ] QTF. Obviously it's sad and nobody suggest it isn't. It's just that it's not any more sad than anything else that's horrible and tragic and sad. I don't have enough time in my day to send a get well soon note to everybody in the world that needs it, and there's nothing special about this guy that makes me want to single him out. [/ QUOTE ] So don't post in the [censored] thread? [/ QUOTE ] Bingo. There's nothing wrong with not sending this guy a get well note and/or thinking he doesn't deserve it more than anyone else, but that's no reason to come into the thread to let everyone know. No one cares. |

no reason to come into the thread to let everyone know. No one cares [/ QUOTE ] Just as much reason as there is for people to come to the thread and let everyone know that they *are* sending an email. |

Re: Send a message to Kevin Everett
[ QUOTE ]
Look, we all ignore tragedy, otherwise we couldn't go on living. When was the last time you thought about Africa? But I think it makes you a giant douchebag to crowd around the tv every week when jacked up's on and then try and act like you're too cool to care when someone gets seriously injured. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is about right. If you take joy in seeing the hard/punishing hits and feel nothing when someone gets hurt as a result....well there seems to be something wrong w/ that. I think it's selfish. |

no nead to rain on the parade of those who are emotionally effected by it [/ QUOTE ] Not sure that "rain on their parade" is a good phrase here. Also I don't see where I told someone else not to care or be affected. |
