RIP, Evan Murray

It is always a tragedy when a young person dies. I just want to take a brief moment to honor 16 year-old Evan Murray, a three-sport athlete at Warren Hills Regional High School. He died during a football game at the high school on Friday night. He was their starting QB, ans also played basketball and baseball. It's at this point unclear whether his death is the result of an injury suffered in that game. A GoFundMe page has been set up for his family.

This was such a tragedy. My condolences to his family. But let us hope that the boy that tackled him knows it was not his fault, I can't even imagine what he might be going througb

I'm sure the young man who delivered the final hit feels terrible. At this point, we do not know whether that or any of the hits delivered have anything to do with it. It's very sad.

This is unbelievable and will have an impact on contact sports as a whole. While I have enjoyed playing and being a fan of football... wondering when the country will start to reel this in. Too many young boys and men over the years have died or been paralyzed or suffer life long consequences for having played the sport. Is it worth it? I would suspect that in our life times football is here to stay but in the future it will probably fade away as we know it today.

You are jumping to conclusions.
