Time To Point Fingers

Sean Taylor's tragic death this week raises flags
once again. Flags that have plagued primarily
the NFL and NBA, and not so much or as much
the NHL and MLB, but none the less flags.
The questions are these, where have we failed
these rich youngsters? Is it at the High School
level? The College level? or more probably in
the home, aka in the community they come from.
Do we idolize them too much? Should student
athletes be this revered and famous as they are,
and as Sean Taylor was? Though I am fully aware
that many of you may point out that this was a
possible attempted robbery, I am sure you know
that it is also possible that this was retribution,
and that this wasn't his only run in with trouble.
This certainly no time to kick a man when he is
down, or in this case dead, but let us not forget the
price that is ultimately paid for hailing athletes
for playing a game, a game we all wish we could
play and get paid to do it. We as a society really
need to take a long hard look at ourselves and
wake up, because these problems aren't about
to go away.
