Steven Sotloff was in many respects like many of you on this blog: He was a Dolphins fan."When we moved in together, he would never shut the heck up about rugby. Rugby or the Miami Dolphins," Emerson Lotzia Jr., Sotloff's former roommate at the University of Central Florida told the Central Florida Future recently.
Sotloff pursued his passion for journalism and the Dolphins in parallel ways. He headed to the middle east to cover the region and tell stories. And he found innovative ways to make sure he stayed up to date on his NFL even from the most remote locations.
The Dolphins lost Sotloff recently. He was slain in a barbaric manner by the terrorists for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria -- known more commonly as ISIS.

God bless the victims and their families.

I like this. I don't see this as a PR move, more likely a thanks for being a fan move.

Good for the organization. Classy move.

I am proud the Dolphins are doing this.

I have to say though that I have visions of 2 nightmare scenarios about this...


1. goodell cancels it on grounds of political correctness

2. Some absolute moron shouts "allah is great" as the crowd goes silent and starts a riot in the stands

I hope NEITHER happens...

relevant username.


I'm pretty sure neither of those two things will happen. Let's be somber and proud by this gesture not let anything cloud or damper it.

Great job by the organization. ISIS needs to have their **** pushed in.
