Why do you assholes have to turn everything to some dick head negative slam?

No, that wasn't it. His mother and aunt were terminally ill. That he was missing out on time with them is why he took his hiatus. He didn't come back because he realized there was more to life than football and football took too much of his time.

In any case, DoddPower has a valid point: anyone who says he doesn't play the game because "it takes too much of his time" pretty much by definition isn't passionate about the game. Contrast Raji's reaction to bereavement to that of, for example, Brett Favre. Night and day. That isn't a slam; it's a statement of fact. There's nothing wrong with not being passionate about playing football. The NFL is a business. Players are under no moral or ethical obligation to play the game for the same reasons fans watch the game.

When you have someone dying that is close to you, NOTHING feels like it doesn't take too much time. How hard is that to grasp? How difficult is this to understand? Why does this have to be so difficult? Unreal how hard people will look to slight someone rather than understand. No compassion whatsoever.

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 also don't think you can call someone an asshole for voicing his opinion and then rant about your opinion not being respected, but I'll let you two fight that one out between yourselves.

Rourke clearly doesn't care about that, which is perfectly fine (as I've always said, we are all entitled to our opinions). I felt it's an asshole thing to say about someone who walked away from millions to spend time with his family because FAMILY was more important, not money. 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.

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.
