Why is everyone idolizing Sean Taylor?????

This is a herendous post.

At least say your condolenses and RIP and so forth and be done with it.  I am not a fan of all of a sudden jumping this mans bandwagon because of this and saying how "I loved this guy" and "I idolized this guy" and how people became so attached to a guy they didn't care about five minutes, five months or five years before he was even shot.

What bothers me the most (and I have been called out all over here for it) is that this is happeneing (including to my family) all over the place, everyday.  Where it came to my innocent nephew by a stray bullet, just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.  My prayers go to this man and his family, but when you think grimace and somber feelings for this guy, you better give a long, hard thought about kids that range from as young as 12 to 28, 29 etc and their families that face this everyday.

He was a pro and a star at that, so we recognize this.  But think about that kid that never got the shot to be something before we ever heard of him/her because of a bullet cutting everything short.

This happens everyday and being apart of one of those situations it puts me on the playing field.  I'm not a tree- hugging, peace- loving asshole, but I really think this on- going mess gets worse and worse everyday.

Sad thing is..what can we do about it?

Regardless, I'm not only sending a shoutout to Taylor and his family, but to every other family (that doesn't find stardom on a field/court) that had or has to go through this same situation.

God Bless, and I only hope things can get better, before it has gone too far...if it hasn't already.  (Just throws tears to my eyes).

RIP
