Another Fallen Athlete

It is funny, I don't really pay much attention to athletes, sports just don't inspire me, and I don't generally get all worked up about people that I don't know and what happens to them. Don't think that means I am cold, quite the opposite, but I learned young that I had to reserve my emotions for those that are the closest to me, or I would be a constant emotional breakdown served on a buffet in a hot chafing dish, ready to be served up at a moment's notice!



So when I heard about Taylor being shot, I didn't really delve further into the situation. I was just surprised it wasn't Pacman, some of you know why I say that! However, when signing online tonight I noticed this article on MSN.com and the headline caught my attention. I am posting this link to the article. I am not doing this to particularly say that I agree with the reporters views, not to say that I don't either, but to show someone who has gone out on a limb, to very publicly, and eloquently, express his opinion. I am sure he will get all kinds of flak for it, he will probably get hate mail and get bashed as a sellout or worse. I think he should be admired for having the balls to put out there what he really thinks. And for those who call him a sellout or like names, well, in a way, they prove his point, don't they? So read, if you are so inclined, and let me know what you think! Maturely, of course!
