I heard it too on the way to school....It is a shame for a guy who it sounds like was really trying to turn his life around and get away from lifestyle he has lived his life before that

RIP Sean. My thoughts are with you and your family.
As a lifelong Redskins fan, he was my favorite player since he enter the league. I'm numb and sick.

Does anyone remember that hit he had against the punter in the pro bowl?
When I saw that I was just like "OMG that guy might not ever get up"
Shows this guy played hard no matter the game

God bless his family and child - the loss of life never makes sense.
I'll be the bastard and say it, though...I like Sean Taylor, but does his "image" get in the way of his significance?
What I mean to say is that a lot of his off-field actions caused an image to be painted of this guy that was less than desirable. The first thing the media listed on Monday when they reported the shooting was his previous arrest / legal issues.
My point is, does this event even more magnify the impact of "image" and how it reflects on each individual?
Point being, Marquise Hill......guy had a wonderful image and was a great human being. His "loss" was dramatically felt.
Not saying Taylor was a "thug" (because he was making attempts to turn it around), but that is the image that his early actions presented.
From a YOUNG athlete perspective, can this deliver a worthy message?

I don't image has anything to do with it. The man is dead and he left behind a 1 year old child. If he was still mixed up in something the police will figure it out and then fingers can be pointed. Until then just pray for the family.

I knew about Sean. I worked for the UM football team and went to school there. He had trouble early on, but was getting his life straight.
I am devastated. I bleed orange and green - worked there, went to school there (paid a lot of money to do so ha). I just can't believe it... I'm speechless... Another fallen UM player with gun violence... when will it stop!?!
I get so angry when I hear about UM thugs, especially after Meriweather shot back when an assailant fired at Willie Cooper. He got in trouble because he had a gun that ended up saving his friends' life, and reportedly his draft stock even fell... What is Sean would have had a gun? Maybe he would have been able to scare off the attackers..
Sorry I am ranting, I am just really upset. One of my UM family members is gone.. so promising, only 24. He had the whole world at his fingertips. He was turning it around, he had a gf and a child. He was leaving all his past behind. I'm sick to my {censored} stomach right now...

Horrible. I really want to know what in the world was going on. His house got broken into twice in about a week. The reports I had seen I thought said he was there with his girlfriend and baby.
Inevitably there is discussion of whether Sean Taylor was a "thug," or at least used to be one. I don't know if this was anything more than a strange robbery gone wrong, or was evidence that even the perception of such a life style sticks with you even if you yourself totally leave it behind.
I don't know. Just thoughts. I'm very sad too. As a football player this guy was one of my favorite guys since he was at Miami. He played fast, hard, and he hit like hell. A throwback type guy, really.
And regardless of whether the guy ever was a "thug" or not, he was 24. Lots of people make mistakes when they are young, and whether or not he did things he shouldn't have something like this should never happen to anyone. So hopefully no one says anything like he brought it on himself.

So hopefully no one says anything like he brought it on himself. I don't believe that was what was actually raised. However, I've yet to hear any outcry for finding his killer.....just pointing out how the media has 'embraced' this story since it broke......that Taylor was a guy who has been mixed up with the law since college and (IMO) it has definitely affected how this tradgedy is being framed in the media. (case in point, you can look at the Saban thing from last week....a meaningless comment framed to be the apocolypse) |
