What a total bullshit story THIS is! It wasn't society's fault that this punk decided to become a thug and killer! It wasn't his coach's fault! It wasn't the football fan's fault! And, from all accounts, it wasn't his parent's fault either. No one forced him to pull the trigger. It was HIS decision and HIS alone! Stories like this chap my ass! These so-called reporters continue to plant the flag of guilt in our backs every time someone strays from the path of good and righteous deeds and become evil...... like it was OUR fault. As if WE didn't do enough to help the poor kid. Should we bow our head in shame! BULLSHIT! HELL NO! I didn't have a damn thing to do with this punks actions and I resent this ass-hole writer even hinting that I did!
Rant Mode off..... for now.

I'm pretty sure professional athletes (in the major sports at least) are allowed to kill one or two ordinary people as part of their contracts.

I'm confused, where in the article did it suggested that the flag of guilt be planted on our (society's) back? I guess I must have missed that.

He was found guilty and sentenced to life without parole. Did you want to extract his toenails or?? What's your beef??

The beef is that some media sources are looking for someone to blame for what he did other than he himself.

"It's an important reminder for every athlete. But it's even more important for the coaches, agents, hangers-on and, yes, even fans who feed these athletes' egos and, thus, enable their boorish behavior. They may not have pulled the trigger, but they all had a hand in making Hernandez believe he could".
The term "society's Back" includes all of the above.

After rereading the last few paragraphs, I see what should have been obvious. I blame my brain fog on the Margarita I had after getting home from work.
