Hopefully you can find a line where you’re not just totally exploiting his death for profit because he was one of the finest human beings being to ever walk this planet and i would really hate to see his death be cheapened by the media.

Have some dignity and let a deceased man RIP.

No matter what any brain researcher, or plaintiff’s attorney may contend, studying Mr. Seau’s brain will never determine whether any concussion related brain injury caused him to commit suicide. Blaming his death on concussions would only serve to fill the pockets of opportunistic players and their lawyers.

He was almost certainly depressed, and he likely had a very fragile sense of self worth, able to identify himself only as a football player.

As crass as it may seem, suicide is a cowardly act, and the media and society in general should stop glorifying the it, as he was no martyr. I have pity for the children he abandoned, not him.

How about both? The first one, then get a second opinion.
