Sean Taylor Shot in the Thigh (UPDATED 6:54 PM)

I was browsing other sites and I even saw Broncos' fans mocking the whole situation. I think one even asked if he was a Crip or a Blood.

Granted, this definitely wasn't all Broncos fans. But you'd think they, of all fans, would be sensitive to this.

It just a shame people write things so hurtful & hateful, hiding behind a darn computer. Sometimes it makes ya wonder what this world has really come to, sadly enough.

I read some of the posts in our local daily press news paper in response to this horrible tragedy. I was just shocked people would even write things so hurtfull about any other human being, not to mention a person you don't even know.

what did those eagles fans say?

Unfortunately times like this confirm that most people are bastard covered bastarts with bastard filling.. Appreciate those who have enough class and sense to wish him well regardless of what they think of him personally or the team.. F--- the rest.

Very interesting. Life can remind us of our humanity in very odd ways occasionally. Many of us that follow the Redskins have spent much energy spewing hateful things to say about our rivals. I'm guilty of it. Some of our "hatred" is in good fun, some isn't. But at the end of the day, we are ALL just people and it is human nature, at least in this country, to care about each others well being. When the chips are down, we can usually count on a friend, a neighbor, even a rival, to come to our aide in times of trouble. I have been humbled by the show of gratitude from fans of the Cowboys, Steelers, Broncos, etc. You all rock and you must know that fans like yourselves would be most appreciated by athletes like Sean Taylor. Let's all here at the Warpath remind each other in the future when we're throwing barbs and truly hateful things to say at our "Football" enemies of the thoughtful, graceful, and considerate offers of condolences they gave us on this day.

It's just the state of mind the world is in nowadays. Honestly, I do understand how the uninformed could decide that Sean Taylor is a thug by past experiences. However, at least to what we know and what his teammates have said, Taylor seemed to be getting his life back on the right track. I believe his daughter is definitely one reason for that fact. If Sean Taylor had decided to go out to some nighclub and shoot up the place and to get shot himself, then I'd have a heard time holding sympathy for him. However, someone broke into his place with the intent to kill him and possibly his family. If Taylor makes it out of this relativitely healthy, then I really hope he moves somewhere safe. Maybe some small farm town where they still keep their doors unlocked at night.

Let's keep remembering him in prayer guys.

You know all that i saw from the eagles forums was mostly good wishing towards sean and condolences but on the giants forums they attacked him and most said he deserved what he got. Real Classy

It has been a while since I've posted to The Warpath because I've been a bit frustrated with the season so far. I have been checking up on here to see what the vibe has been among fans as the season has progressed.

As I was driving home I was listening to the John Thompson show on 980 and was touched by all the Redskins fans that were calling in with tears in their eyes and sadness in their voice.

It is just incredible to me that for many of us, this team and the guys on the team are more than just people we watch on TV - we actually develop a sort of connection with them through the things we read and discuss.

I wanted to take some time and simply express my condolences. Right now none of this is about football really, it is about a tragedy and I really hope and pray for the best.

Ya know alls i saw from the eagles was mostly good wishing towards sean but the giants wow, I guess we now know who the classy fans of the nfl are

Wait, what?

Would you please recap the segment for those of us who don't live in the area?

Sorry SGG, didn't see this until now.
Pedro Taylor (Sean's dad) sounded nothing but positive. Talked about all the good work the police/hospital staff are doing. Said that Sean is a fighter, and he has full confidence he'll be okay. As a police chief you could tell it wasn't the first time he'd given an interview. My goodness does Sean look like his father.

Vinny looked very upbeat after the positive news. Said doctors seemed very encouraged by the news, and reiterated how much all the support from the team players, family, and fans is appreciated. It was a pretty quick segment, but all positive.

Thanks for the recap GMScud.
