19. He's a football player, what do you expect?
If he was Reggie-the-bus-driving-homophobe, people wouldn't be so forgiving. Celebrity is like an instant get-out-of-jail card in our society, and liberals are just as much to blame as anyone.

Personally, I don't wish death on anyone, but while feeling for his family, I could really care less if the homophobic son of a bitch died, except for sympathy for the family.

This crap about him having a miraculous transformation is so phoney, I would think it wouldn't be so hard to see through. Just like if George Bush said, "Oh, golly gee, sorry for killing all those Iraqi civilians," it wouldn't be instantly forgiveable, neither is this.

Just like Reagan: I mourned for a family, I didn't mourn the sack of shit that was the man.
