It's 100% wrong. Sorry.
Meaning that they just can't act like some people on this board and see things black and white. There are relationships involved here. It IS a significant loss to many people ON THAT TEAM but more so off of it. He was a son, father, possibly brother, friend, mentor, idol, teammate BEFORE he was a murderer.

While they certainly don't need to CELEBRATE him they do not need to try to make him insignificant either. The facts do that for themselves. And there are plenty of people who are there to make sure every moment of his life leading up to yesterday don't matter....like you.

So once again, let the individual players and his friends do what they need to and what they can live but do not go out of your way as an organization to glorify OR trash him.
