Why is everyone waiting until now to judge the man, you guys have no right saying that his own actions caused his death. Some of the posts on this thread are disgusting.

Take a freaking sociology class, you'll learn very quick what victimizing the victim means, and why it is wrong.

RIP.
This is a good post, I'm not surprised Packersnut and Speed are choosing to ignore it.

RIP Mr McNair and the girl.

I think this needs to be heeded by all athletes regardless of color. Its so sad to see these guys who are in the spotlite be so ill prepared for the challenges they will face. Some just choose to ignore the facts though. Good post!

Saying "This what you get" is basically saying he deserved it.

Haha, a lot of white celebrities and athletes have messed up too.

What other black male celebrities have died over a woman(ass) recently?

fair enough.

I guess I just don't get what the point is of hammering home the fact that "if he wasnt cheating he wouldnt be dead is," if your not trying to place some degree of blame on him.

Lets see Im not cheating on my wife so I don't think I would worry that my crazy mistress is going to shoot me. If you don't put yourself in that position then you don't have the risk. Was he a victim? Yes, however it wasn't a random crime, his actions contributed to his death.

I have taken criminal Justice classes so that kind of helps as well.

I don't think it's about race so much as young guys with lots of money and the temptation of alot of girls throwing themselves at them.
