1) I never said you were wishing death. But you’re being a callous asshole about a kid playing a game that may very well die. He didn’t sign up for death.
2) What perspective am I missing? I have more respect than you can understand for the sacrifices even those who aren’t injured or killed in the Armed Services make for us. My father and my stepfather both served, one of my good friends had his face blown off in Afghanistan and my lacrosse coaching mentor is still struggling with watching his team lead get blown to mist (for some reason I fell in with some bomb techs in the area, one of my kid’s dad I’ve coached for years was also a bomb tech).
3) Kid was a 6th round draft choice that was in his second year. His net worth is $660k. You act like he’s Scrooge McDuck or something. He wasn’t even close to that second contract.
4) I had to look this up, but his mom was 16 and dad 17 when he was born. Dad saw a jail cell for selling drugs. There’s no “rich family” here. And he raised a ton of money for charity in his short time in the NFL, so they did something right.
I respect my elders, thank you for your service and will respect a majority of what you say even when I don’t agree, but no one gets a “be an asshole for free” card in a situation like this. Have some empathy. You don’t have to donate or watch news stories, but if you don’t have anything nice to say…
