Okay well then, wouldnt you want to give someone who made a mistake in your family another chance to correct the situation? Or would you turn them away?
Dont you want people in your family that have problems to correct them and go onto live successful happy lives?
Let me make things clear, I don't hate the guy, it's his life to live and it has no affect on mine. But what he has for close friends and family backing him, might not be good for him now.
Yes, I agree with you 100%, on giving a guy a chance, but he contacted reporters and other writers after his first commentary. And what did he have to say about his original statements? How can you give someone a chance, when they do not admit a problem or want any help?
He still lambasted his teammates, the team and the coaches. Right or wrong, he showed that he needed help. I am sure he had plenty of time to think about his own family (his kids), and what happened after that? He was taken to court to pay child support.
He is a full grown adult, with mental problems. He knows that taking the proper medication he can function normally. But he refuses to do this, and I am more than sure that his close friends, and family members have tried to help him. Like you said the family would give him another chance. Have they succeeded? I don't know, only time will tell.
Again, I don't hate the man or his actions, but he has burned his bridges with this organization, without any remorse over the last 10 months, and as we currently know, has not tried bridging the gap. The way he "still' acts on a personal level, shows that he has no respect for others...
