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

45 murders take place in this country every day... where are all the threads for them?

A pretty girl and a prettier child. Tragic.

If she and baby were ugly would you feel the same way?

memorializing the situation in any way should be done as it pertains to the murdered mother and her child. belcher's right to any kind of lasting legacy in spite of suicide was forfeited when he pulled the trigger on an innocent.

I can sympathize with the victims, I can even sympathize with someone who had to deal with a horrifically traumatizing event with someone they were close to in Crennels case. But I disagree this particular situation should have any affect on tomorrows game.

Playing the game is in no way disrespect. You get played big money to play a game you love. In my opinion that comes with a different set of responsibilities than that of your average run of the mill job. So please don't say your boss would give you time off. its a different situation

[Mr. Scot]

The logic that you can't talk about or care about any tragedy unless you do so about every tragedy is faulty.

probably in a forum about the murder rates in our country, this is a football forum buddy. this involved a football player for the opponent we are playing tomorrow. do you understand now?

Sigh

Welcome to the Internet, folks.

Well, Peter King has his Cam excuse signed sealed and delivered.

Thoughts and prayers to the family but murdering the mother of your child then killing yourself is a cowardly thing to do.

I wouldn't cancel the game, either. Titans didn't cancel the game when they had a suicide earlier this year.

[FutureDynasty]

well here is the motive folks.

That happened in July, and it didn't happen right in front of them.

Don't we have some kind of policy against personal attacks here?

My point is that there are people who don't care about Jevon Belcher or the Kansas City Chiefs.

While your boss might give you a day off if you experience a personal tragedy, he has no right to make me give all my employees a day off because you had a bad day.

You're completely missing the point then. It's not about people no "caring" about Jovan Belcher. It's about having respect for the coach and personal who just witnessed a suicide.

Is it really that hard to understand the real reasoning?

[Mr. Scot]

well here is the motive folks.

Son of a... You gotta be kidding me!

[DaCityKats]

very sad story. my prayers go out to both families. i just cannot imagine me thinking my kids are mine, and than finding out they are not. still does not justify pulling the trigger.
