Will be a good moment. Glad the Dolphins gave them the opportunity.

[CedarPhin]

Cool. Great gesture.

 

[artdnj]

Very nice gesture look forward to seeing that

 

[FSU Truth]

Found a way to make sure the fans don’t boo the pick.

I know I am an asshole.

So they will be the ones announcing Baker's name?:D

 

[Vaark]

It's a feel-good gesture .. props to the Fins

Classy thing to do.

Great gesture, a very classy thing to do.

 

[Michael Scott]

Great classy gesture by the Miami Dolphins.

I am proud of how all of the local professional teams have paid respect. Heat still wearing the MSD jersey patch; Spo and the assistants still wearing the pin. The Marlins have worn MSD hats. Panthers had a great pre-game tribute during the season. Good stuff.

Gonna wear a MSD hat to Game 3 on Thursday night.

 

[Gonzo]

That's pretty cool. Hope they don't make them wear that terrible hat.

Rounds 4-7? Come on, if you're going to make a gesture to people who have gone through hell, make it count.

Being in any of the campus buildings had to be traumatic for all the students. Ditto losing friends and teachers. However, there were 18 students who were wounded and rushed to 3 different hospitals. Thankfully all survived. I would hope that it's primarily these students and the spouses/children of the several hero teachers/coaches who sacrificed their lives by putting themselves in the line of fire who are the ones up on the podium over those 4 rounds.
