Chiefs' Player Jevon Belcher involved in murder-suicide, shoots self at Arrowhead

[MoreLemonPledge]

No details yet. Just came across on the news.

edit: Sources say the player is Jovan Belcher. Police have yet to confirm.

An unnamed Kansas City Chiefs player has committed suicide at the team facility and authorities are on the scene, the police confirmed to ESPN on Saturday morning.

Local reports say police are operating with the belief the player fatally shot his girlfriend at a house before driving to Arrowhead Stadium and killing himself at around 8 a.m local time. The Associated Press reported the player's age to be 25.

"We can confirm that there was an incident at Arrowhead earlier this morning," the Chiefs said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities in their investigation."

There were no other injuries at the team facility, police said.

The Chiefs (1-10) were preparing to host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

The NFL has told the Panthers to travel as planned to Kansas City on Saturday, the Charlotte Observer has reported, citing interim general manager Brandon Beane.

It's a stupid argument because the tragedy has nothing to do with the Chiefs and the NFL. It has to do with the actions of a player, which included murder.

If Belcher had died on the field or during practice, my view and the view of the NFL players would might be different.

But Belcher was a murderous coward. Postponing the game would only serve to emphasize that point, not make the situation better.

As I pointed out in one of these threads MLB canceled\postponed the Cardinals game when they found Darryl Kyle had died in his room.

1 out of 162 cant be compared to 1 of 16.

First off, you're WRONG. Name the last time NFL games were postponed.

Secondly, go **** yourself.

And I intend to finish it, especially since you never apologized for your ****ing insults.

Oh, and the fact that, as usual, you were dead ****ing wrong.

But keep flapping your trap. It just makes you even more of an easy target.

Finish it? Is that some kind of threat? REPORTED.

ANGER. RAGE. LOUD NOISES.

And your contributions here mean little to nothing.

But at least you can get yourself wound up by trying to denigrate me.

That's quite a life you've carved out for yourself. You should be proud.

The part about Belcher is a solid point. I'm just saying it wouldn't be that surprising if they did it.

You cant compare it to a venue where the game couldn't physically take place.

Because the roof collapsed at the stadium.

I think it's pretty understandable that a game be postponed because the field no longer exists.

Furthermore, that game was moved to Tuesday, not Monday.

They didn't cancel they postponed\rescheduled it. And yes I realize baseball can play double headers and you made a good point about what does one day matter.

[NJChiefsFan]

Yeah most of the examples are ones of physical issues. The one where it was mental was 9/11. Goes without saying that's an entirely different issue.

It does. I don't think it would matter much. They would be just as effected on Monday. My point was its not unprecedented for them to push back a game.

Maybe I should message the owner and mods to ensure I'm adequately respected. Don't people know who I am?

I just have to wonder how focused his (now former) team mates will be, especially when they had nothing to do with anything. Also.. have to wonder if the girlfriends parents will ever be able to watch the Chiefs again.
