Has anyone watched the interview on ESPN with Chad Johnson yet?

Seeing people all over the internet putting comments like "he had it coming", "natural selection", etc disgusts me. All those people only knew him from what they saw on TV and the media would rather focus on the bad negative aspect of anything/anybody. Give the man and his family some respect.

Yeah. Hate to be self-righteous, but as someone who was fortunate enough to grow up in an upper-middle class household with parents who stressed the importance of education and kept me on the right path, it baffles me to see people so readily dismiss the circumstances a lot of these people they nonchalantly label 'thugs' grow up in. I may not know exactly what it's like to grow up in the ghetto, but I'm not going to sit here and judge people who had to deal with shit that isn't even in my peripheral. It's a shame when people can't escape the shitty situations they grow up in, and despite his struggles in detaching himself from the culture he grew up in, he eventually made some headway and his efforts show that he was a good person at heart. Just a shame he couldn't escape this stuff a little sooner..what a beautiful redemption of a previously troubled person it could have and should have been.

That Chad Johnson interview really broke my heart. Much like the Clinton Portis interview after Sean Taylor's passing.

RIP

Chad brought back personal memories and made it pretty tough. Sounds a lot like what I was saying about 8 years ago.

RIP, too young..

The true victims are Henrys kids who are left fatherless because of their fathers irresponsible and stupid actions. And no I don't buy that he had reformed given the way he died in a domestic dispute banging in his wife's car. Henrys death was sad. But it was of his own doing. And it was an ending you could have predicted years ago

Truth hurts sometimes. That post was spot on. All this talk about Slim "turning his life around" and being on "the right road" and all that bullshit...is exactly that...bullshit.

Nearly everyone will have a fight with a significant other in their lives, and most people will have MANY. What isn't "normal" is to jump in the back of a truck while the person you're trying to "argue" (:lol: :roll1:) with is fleeing your presence while dialing 911.

I'm not happy Henry died. I'm not sad for him one bit. I'm sad for the people he left behind that cared about him enough to not forget his fucking name after the fifth time he was arrested for being a stupid fucking douchebag.
