that's crazy. RIP Man

 

So very sad that a 25 year old feels like he has no other recourse but suicide....RIP OJ...GIF sends his family and friends our condolences...:sad5:

 

how sad, he was really fun to watch during his time at DII Fort Hays State University.

 

Based on this, and the suicide of Kenny Mckinley a few years ago I think teams need to provide more emotional support for players with injuries.

 

God Bless his friends and most importantly his family.
