Where did NSD slight someone? He literally states that Raji has every right to see his career as just that... A career.

He didn't go "eh I made enough money, time to walk way". He walked away from the game because he wanted to spend the remaining moments, hours, days, weeks, months, years with those were dying.
As someone who's lost many (like most) this is highly sensitive to me because I wish I had that opportunity.
But in the football world, it does seperate the Brett Favres and James Harrissons from the B.J. Rajis and, in the extreme, JaMarcus Russells.

I'm locking this thread (because my stupid emotional reaction of comment derailed the fuck out of it), please, just watch the video. What Raji did is admirable, in my opinion.
Update: Apparently locking it was another mistake. Go ahead, pile on.
