Marshawn Kneeland

Certainly not trying to turn this political, but it's what the NFL is best at, so...I just watched the NFL have a moment of silence before the Thursday night game for Kneeland, who killed himself after being in a pursuit with the cops and crashing his car. Like...why? Why do they choose to celebrate or recognize people who break the law and/or do stupid shit? Today's NFL and the causes or people they choose to support blows my mind

It's still a pretty disturbing death of a kid who has the dream job, has the slews of support people, and still manages to have a very final meltdown.

I'm not sure what the response should be, really.

Agreed, but a moment of silence...really!? For a guy who broke the law and was running from the cops? Lol. The NFL is just completely ass backwards at this point.

Sounds to me more like a mental health crisis ending in suicide than any sort of criminal activity. I don't have a problem with a moment of silence for the guy.
