Junior Seau dead, probable suicide
North County Times reporting Seau "found dead by a housekeeper of a gunshot wound to the chest."
https://twitter.com/#!/LATimesfarmer...55054793560065 Junior Seau Dead Cops Investigating Shooting Cops are currently at Seau's home just outside San Diego. Seau was 43-years-old ... and leaves behind 3 kids and an ex-wife. Seau was a beast in the NFL -- skyrocketing to fame thanks to his explosive play with the San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. The USC standout was selected in the first round of the NFL draft in 1990 and played in the league for 20 years. Seau was involved in a car accident back in 2010 when he drove his SUV off a cliff in Carlsbad, CA hours after he was arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. Seau later said he was not trying to kill himself ... insisting he had fallen asleep at the wheel. http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/02/junior-seau-dead/ Last edited by Quesadilla Joe; 05-02-2012 at 12:35 PM.. |

The players would probably hate it but it should be made mandatory in all contracts that all NFL players should have to put so much of what they make in their own retirement fund or something similar.

There's no way it would ever be allowed. The NFLPA wouldn't allow it and no judge or abitrator would either.

Well, you simply can't force that on anyone... even if it makes sense to do so. 99% of Americans would do better by having this forced up on them. You can't save people from themselves in every aspect of life.

If you knock a girl up at fifteen, it wasn't because society didn't raise you right, it's because you were a dumbass that made a bad decision and now you have to face the consequences. If you blow all your retirement money, it wasn't because the NFL didn't educate you properly - it's because you were a dumbass that made bad decisions and now have to face the consequences. |

I feel terribly for his family, friends, and fans. As for him, he's gone. It's what he wanted. Why should anyone feel badly for him? Watching his Mom was ****ing brutal.

Actually the NFLPA should be the ones pushing for it. You know taking care of the players. Hell they could set up a fund.

*but still in a ****ed up enough state to FAKE being suicidal, which is probably deserving of some psychiatric attention nonetheless. So really, does it matter what your opinion of their situation is based on the tiny, desperate sliver of their life you were exposed to? Why not just help people and let the mental health professionals figure them out? Mind reading is, like, really hard, dude.

If Junior could have seen how much of a commotion he would be stirring up he wouldn't have killed himself.

It's especially for people I know, though. I am a bit of an enigma though. I have a friend who is in advanced stages of ALS. He's getting to the point where he can't move his hands and it's a big struggle to talk. If he killed himself, I would be okay with it. Heck, if he asked me to help him, I would figure something out.

Sorry, I was positing the question as though the respondent were a human with the capacity for empathy.
