Tragic Loss of Life

This story ceased to be a story about sports; it’s a story about the loss of a young human life. No one deserves the fate that Chris Henry received, even if he hadn’t been working hard to reform himself. But that’s what makes it even more tragic. Forget his skills as a football player. I don’t care if Henry never played another down for the Bengals or any other team. He is gone and he has left three young girls behind. His life was going in the right direction and now it’s going nowhere.

This is sad day not just for the Bengals, not just for sports, but for all young people – anyone – who have aspirations to do something with their lives. Henry had become a good family man and my heart goes out to all his children, relatives, and friends who have been affected by this tragic event.
