Would that make him more dead?Have to hope it wasn't anything worse than self-inflicted.
Would that make him more dead?
Suicide would mean he took his own life and didn't want to live, murder would mean someone else killed an innocent, happy man. Doesn't take a genius to figure that out... Knowing a good friend of mine who took his own life earlier this year, I can't even imagine what it would be like to have to deal with a friend being murdered - not that the end result is any different.
I find the differentiation odd. Happy, unhappy. Suicide, murder. Still tragic. Still dead.
Still dead, yes. Effect on on family and friends, different. One he wanted to be dead, the other he did not.
Definitely. Wasn't trying to argue, just said I hope it doesn't turn into anything more.You are both right. But out of respect for the tragically deceased, can this argument stop, please?
The awful side of the game! So sorry for his family...so sad.
Damn. Concussions, the dark side of football indeed. In the NFL, Mike Webster, Terry Long, Andre Waters, Dave Duerson, Ray Easterling, Junior Seau and Javon Belcher have all committed suicide within the past 10 years, and all were found in post-mortem examinations to have CTE caused by repeated head trauma due to football. Helmet technology has never been able to keep up with how much stronger and faster players are continually becoming, and the increasingly violent nature of the game as a result.
I feel just terribly for this young man. May God bless him, his family, friends, teammates, and all the survivors left behind him.
True, but note this was his first season playing football at Ohio State. He wrestled his previous seasons at the school.
