Redskins Exploiting Sean's Death?

[SouperMeister]

How is he an authority on appropriately mourning the loss of a teammate? This is the first in-season death of an NFL player in nearly 40 years. Not to mention that Taylor was arguably the best player on the team. This writer is a freakin' tool.

Just to counter the negative article regarding Sean, here's a very well written and heartfelt blog entry by Lindsay Czarniak sharing her experience in covering the Sean Taylor tragedy.

"From Sean Taylor to Seattle"

I haven’t found it easy to write about covering the tragedy of Sean Taylor’s death because I didn’t know Sean as well as his teammates. And, honestly, there have been times over the past four weeks I’ve felt bad because the nature of my work forces me to ask people about Sean, and I know that it will conjure up emotions of a tragedy they are trying to overcome.

Right now, I am 35,000 feet about a snow-covered patchwork of ground on my way to Seattle for the Redskins playoff game. And because Sean's death has had such an impact, I want to share what I’ve seen this past month. Even if the Redskins' run ends Saturday night, this has been the most shocking, emotional story I have ever covered.

Thanks for posting that LB - it beats dwelling on the negativity of an outside writer.

I agree, and the writer has no true knowledge as he has no association with the Redskins or the fans in this area, a true outsider, who in all honesty in my opinion sounds fairly immune to human loss and pain associated with such. I think his article is purposely caustic and unnecessary and classless. IMO I personally placed little stock in the shallow things written by the writer who has conviently mentioned his opinion during the same week that the Redskins are playing the Seahawks. It sounds like, as a fan of the Seahawks, and writer for the local paper, he has a vested interest in the outcome, using almost a reverse psychology in trying to sound like there was something wrong with our Redskins trying to achieve something special for their beloved teammate, as that is what he would have wanted. I am somewhat disappointed, though I can't be because it is one person from that area and simply an opinion expressed. To me, it is simply sad.
