It was the Washington Redskin’s decision to put Sean Taylor’s name on their wall/ring of fame. Yes, Taylor’s career & life was cut way too short but nobody can deny that he had not made changes while he was alive. He was not perfect, he made mistakes so get over it hell nobody’s perfect.

I agree with you and I’d go one step further. Not only is dying not enough to get these kinds of honors, but the way Sean Taylor lived his life during his brief NFL career is not exactly worthy of praise.

When he gets inducted, he will be by far the worst Redskin in the Ring. I love the Skins but I think the culture surrounding our team, fans, and ownership has deteriorated into one that glorifies idiocy. Just shows what kind of an organization it’s turned into.

maybe you dont really understand the word family .that is what redskins fans really are maybe to you he was just sean taylor. to me and millions of redskin fans he was a guy who went out every sunday and gave 1000% for the redskins and all us fans .even though i only spoke to him for a few seconds at giants stadium it was like a close family member died on that early morning of nov 27 2007 look the bottom line is i could not think of a guy that belongs to be there more than sean.god bless his family jackie and that and that beuatiful child. rip sean

Thank you. I’m hopefully that everyone understands I’m not against ST21 in the least bit.

The Mayor’s take on my piece is accurate. Taylor’s induction does take away from the great things many Redskins past have done. But I also want to reiterate that this induction is taking place because he died, therefore putting more emphasis on his death rather than the life he lived and career he created.

I think having his locker forever encased in glass is appropriate. Having his name on the roster in perpetuity would be appropriate. Naming the locker room, a suite, a section of the stadium is appropriate. There are so many things that can give credit to the brother’s life rather than arbitrarily naming him to an honor roll designed for players and coaches who changed the Redskins – and the NFL – through their achievements.

I know JC personally, and while I don’t agree with him here at all, there is no reason to lash out and insult him. This is his own opinion, and I am sure there are many that share his opinion, and many that don’t (like myself), but to come onto somebodys blog and say nobody reads it, when your reading it is pretty lame.

What he is trying to say here is, while Sean Taylor is a beloved Redskin, and it is a shame that he is no longer with us, putting his name in the ring of honor lessens the value of the ring, as his accomplishments are no where near those of the likes of Art Monk, Darrell Green, and others.

I can agree with that, but I think that adding Sean Taylor to the ring is appropriate here.

If some of you guys actually read the article, instead of forming an opinion on just the title, maybe you would understand what he was trying to say.

Exhibit A, is “Nico” who types in all caps, and can barley form a readable sentence. I don’t think he reas the entire article, and I would also bet he just can’t read period.

I have yet to see a intelligent response to debate the story, just insults and all caps barrage.

Hard to take anyone serious that starts out with “SHUT DA HELL UP”

That being said, I will be cheering the loudest when #21 is inducted in the Ring of Honor on Sunday.

Hail to the Redskins
Hail Sean Taylor

Now, with the topic being Sean Taylor, would any mention of killing be really appropriate?

Change, my friend. Everybody’s doing it, so go ahead and get yourself some.

I challenge anyone to go back and find the part where I wrote “All he did was die.” The truth is that Sean Taylor died, and is being honored in a way usually reserved for people who played a full career.

Nothing against him, his talent, his stats, or the fact that we all wished so much better for him. Sean Taylor did much more than die, but that’s what he is being honored for, because it’s not his career.
