Gil is in trouble

[Jake]

I'm sure Gil in the twilight years of his life is really worried about that twitter no-lifers mob cancelling him for calling a moron out for dying like a moron.

The only one calling himself out as a moron is you. Neither you, nor Gil, know what the heck you're talking about.

 

[Jake]

Right. This generation is so fragile and thin skinned. Who jogs on the highway? Gil just said what most are thinking.

He wasn't jogging on the highway. Just keep spewing nonsense.

Pointing out that people shouldn't do stupid things that result in their demise helps.

Though, we don't know all the details. I still question how he got hit by a truck on a highway of all things. Only thing I can guess is that he didn't look before exiting his vehicle.

People certainly do dumb things that are Darwin Award worthy, but I'm not sure if this was a case of that or not. I'm speaking of me personally - I wouldn't say something like that publicly. I might joke with friends, but I certainly wouldn't say it to someone who is going to have the comment plastered all over the planet in less than 5 minutes.

Just because he wasnt good at his job that does not define him as a man or a son. And to tear down his character hours after his death is just being a scumbag and something you wouldnt have the heart to say in person.

I will repeat. for the suddenly virtuous here: You demean this man while he was alive, he a bust, a bum, a loser, lazy, entitled and got cut for a few of those reasons - but now that he is dead, now is the time for tact?

By the way, I've read you specifically saying a lot of BS about players - you know, you had it out for Sean Lee for quite a while over a rumor. So spare me.

Like how how you beg for likes constantly and are a huge troll. There's some truth for you

….that’s not very nice

 

[darthseinfeld]

Lol bashing man about his job while he was alive is one thing. Doing it when he just died when you dont know the man personally hours after he died is another. Your parents failed frfr

He got busted rushing in head first to defend someone from being canceled. Once that fell apart, he tried to create an alternate narrative to make it look like he had a point all along

That and most of us did some dumb things when we were in our early twenties and beyond for many of us.

So, I will repeat - when someone is alive, calling the man a bum, a bust, lazy, entitled, etc. that's fine. The moment they die, it's hands off?

I fail to see how you believing someone is a bust in the NFL disqualifies them from respect and decency when they lose their life.

I can guarantee you when sean lee dies i wont be on here talking poorly about the man, the son, the husband, the father. Theres a difference. Youre a romosexual so it makes sense you dont comprehend things well.

Hold on. Full stop.

If what Mr. Gil Brandt said turns out to be true (the way Dwayne Haskins was always living on the edge or even getting run over and killed for jogging on a highway), how can anyone blame Mr. Brandt for saying what he said?

Who is Gil to judge how anyone else lives their lives? A man is dead and I'm sure those close to him are devastated. If he's factually correct is irrelevant. Show some respect for the dead.

 

[Jake]

Some of you are terrible human beings

Yep, and I won't be reading any more of their garbage no matter how popular they are here.

Gil was factually incorrect, not to mention ridiculously callous, and we've got people cheering him on.

 

[shabazz]

What's sadder is that we live in a time when people are so damn soft they feel they have to "cancel" someone for simply saying something they deem inappropriate.

unfortunately it matter WHO one is and what their Identity is. Certain people get the benefit of “misspeaking” while others get canceled immediately……equal distribution and application of judgement is a continuing problem

having said that, I still belief part of Gil’s statement was callous at this juncture. I also believe he has the right to express his opinion and people have the right to disagree

 

[Cowpolk]

That and most of us did some dumb things when we were in our early twenties and beyond for many of us.

I'm still good at doing dumb stuff Have even been hit by a Silverado

 

[CouchCoach]

STOP THE NAME CALLING.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Gil was factually incorrect, not to mention ridiculously callous, and we've got morons cheering him on.

There I firm line with some people. "I must don my amor and defend no matter how stupid!"

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

I fail to see how you believing someone is a bust in the NFL disqualifies them from respect and decency when they lose their life.

Exactly. All of us say things about players. We even call them names sometimes. It's never personal ( at least to most of us). And there is more important things than football and a human life is one of them. We don't know Dwayne personally. We don't know what he was really like.

Hard for that to happen when my butt is planted in my recliner. There's always a chance of my wife pushing me and the chair out into traffic, though.

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Not in as much trouble as Haskins.

 

[eromeopolk]

Florida Highway Patrol stated that he was walking on Interstate 595 near Davie, was struck by a dump truck while attempting to cross the westbound lanes of the highway, and died at the scene.
