Chiefs player kills girlfriend at home, then himself at facility (updated first post)

[SCP]

Andrew Brandt is thinking the game gets cancelled.

The game should be cancelled because its Chiefs vs Panthers, not because of this tragedy.

This crap happens all over the world every single day.

I am going to be pissed if they don't play tomorrow. Guy murders his girl then offs himself. No reason to let a psychotic, heartless, coward ruin the day for everybody.

"Football is the last thing on our players minds right now." Football has been the last thing on KC's mind all damn year.

you can't cancel the rest of the chiefs season, I mean the game needs to happen. It's not gonna be any better in two days, three days, etc.... Can't cancel a game because a guy murdered his gf and himself

So, why did Rae Carruth kill his g/f again?

If a chick gave you HIV or you just going to press...I was just saying we don't know what can make someone kill someone... But that's my reason.. Are carruth kill his gf because he didn't want to pay child support.

Listening to the Sports radio in KC and even they are saying the Chiefs will be a step slower tomorrow.

I can imagine that it would be hard for the Chiefs to "rally behind this" the next day - if only because my interpretation of "rally" has a certain context.

Similarly, I can also imagine how it may also be difficult for the Panthers to stay focused themselves; while their team didn't lose a player in this event, there is an overall NFL brotherhood that they are all a part of.

Seriously, does anyone really believe that the coaches for either side are going to be making "let's use this as motivation to [win it for him | knock them while they're down]" speeches in their respective locker rooms? No - I can see both sides being a bit more melancholy at gametime, assuming the game goes on as planned rather than being slightly postponed to allow for proper investigations to continue (stadium is now a crime scene, after all)

it doesnt matter what she did, nothing justifies murder. cheating is no exception

Of course it isn't. But what if she didn't cheat? Was the player just a blood hungry lunatic or was he deeply hurt? Stuff like that needs to be figured out, as it affects the way you handle the situation with the friends and loved ones.

Exactly. Torrey Smith played the day his brother got killed, Kalil played not even a day after his wife gave birth. If its not a terror incident and people arent in danger, the game should go on.

S hit like this brings out the absolute worst in people, huddlers included as you can read from some of the slime ball comments. Fuc king sad.

I remember people making all kinds of poo up about Rihanna giving Chris Brown hiv or cheating or other stuff that turned out to be bullshit, just because they refuse to acknowledge that women can actually be victimized without it being their fault.

These people would fit in very well in Pakistan.

so what if he was deeply hurt by her actions. suck it up and move on without her. and obviously yes he is/was a "blood thirsty lunatic" it is pretty apparent from his actions. and like someone else already pointed out, he probably had some type of mental illness

[PantherFanOne]

They will play. Canceling will cost the NFL millions and the NFL is driven by profits and profits only.

Exactly. Count on the game being played.

[Happy Panther]

She was cheating on him and the baby is not his or she had HIV and she didn't tell him only reason for killing a bitch in my eyes!

I don't think there are any reasons for "killing a bitch."

[Sapper]

I'd be surprised if they didn't play - unless Arrowhead is still a 'crime scene' and the authorities still have it on lockdown.

[PanthersATL]

Here's one thing to think about: a Panthers game will finally be a featured story on INSIDE THE NFL and in other mainstream press.

Unfortunately, not for any reason we would want it to be.

Besides, it's almost now a lose/lose situation. If we win/demolish the Chiefs now, we can come out looking like the bad guy/taking advantage of a situation. If we lose/get skunked, any effort we put forth will be diminished by "the Chiefs' motivation".
