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.

Are you a black gay depressed man?

Careful. You're channelling your inner patteeu.

The people oppressed by an inherently racist system by definition cannot be racist; homosexuality is by all scientific and anecdotal accounts NOT a choice (and it really shouldn't matter either way because there is nothing morally wrong with it); and depression is an incredibly well-documented and very real mental illness.

You can have an opinion, but when that opinion flies in the face of all evidence and logic, you are ignorant. And a depressing number of CP posters are ignorant. Or I guess that's only depressing to CP's non-ignorant members.

"Ignorant and Proud!" - ChiefsPlanet's much more succinct motto

In conclusion, Peyton Manning.

I'm not laughing about the guy's death but the fact he left 3 kids is nobody's fault but his own. Karma already got the one responsible. Now there are 3 innocent victims left.

This sounds way more like the depressed people I've interacted with on a pretty regular basis throughout my life (being a sadbrain and all, myself) than the "I'll kill myself, that sounds super beneficial in so many ways!" dude they're imagining.

Huge blow to the City of San Diego. DT was a big blow as well and it was very sad but Seau you have to understand something. He was a home town guy who grew up there. From High school he was in the paper as a multisport guy who went up the road on to USC and then drafted by the Chargers. He was very active in the community with his foundation and his restaurants. Very popular guy there so this is huge for us.

I have to say reading comments in this thread, many of your posters here have no class at all.

Many of our posters are on a Chiefs site talking stupid crap on their home board. Classless would be if we went onto a Charger site to talk crap on Jr like so many rival fans did here when DT died. We aren't running around looking for trouble.

Seau would be on my NFL dream team for sure, first string.

I also think it is classless this forum can get a mob mentality making dumb statements like that.
Admittedly (though not in this thread) i can get caught up in it as well against my better judgment.


Not everyone on here is like that, my apology.

This goes beyond what team he played for; it's tragic that he killed himself. It's even more tragic that a lot of people are blaming him for falling victim to a disease.

It's a good thing he didn't catch the plague. The cries of "How dare he be so selfish" would fill the air.

I know, I laugh that the quoted comment is ok for one race and racial/not politically correct/ taboo/ agenda meeting for another.

**** Seau, made millions, blew it, got divorced and depressed, killed himself and still makes front page news. Selfish prick. Only 43. selfish news media and selfish society.

I'm going outside to enjoy the sunshine. Peace out.

if that makes me classless, then I'm classless and sleeping soundly. I notice no comments about Seau making national headlines, and the many service members who never had it as good as Seau, yet suffered and made a selfish decision isn't even part of the discussion.

Stay classy society.
