I never, or didnt want to believe this was as serious as it turned out to be. I am shocked and speechless.

The pro sports leagues frown upon guys carrying guns, or having guns at their homes, but this is one of the reasons why athletes have them. They are targets and it is well known how much money and valuables they keep. Can athletes hire round the clock security?

It is known that Tank Johnson doesnt have any guns now. I am worried about him. Someone idiot may think he is an easy target.

Sean Taylor not having a gun had nothing to do with the NFL.

I just got woken up by a text with the terrible news.

Unreal... I went to bed and was optimistic about the whole situation.

I really thought everything was gonna be all good with the encouraging news of showing "responsiveness."

A sad day indeed.

Unbelievable. What an unnecessary, tragic loss... You will be missed by this Cowboys fan, Sean. My prayers go out to his family.

I understand this. But mediots and fans, including ones on this forum, questions why athletes even have guns. I wasn't suggesting the NFL told him to not have one.

And there have been many upon many instances where pro league figures have stated displeasure in athletes with guns

How awful. I am truly saddened by this. I went to bed thinking he was going to be OK.

Same here. Then I see the news this morning. Almost started crying. He was only 24. It's so terribly sad.
