During an attempted home invasion robbery, someone shot Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor. He died the other day from his wounds. Watching NFL Live, a moment ago ESPN’s NFL analyst John Clayton took this as a cue to talk about the NFL possibly directing anti-gun PR to its players, attempting to draw a link between Tank Johnson’s weapons charges & Taylor’s death.
One problem with that: Sean was shot while trying to defend himself with a machete.
To Sean, R.I.P., we’ll miss you. To John, go fuck yourself.
I’m not sure but I’m guessing his probation or legal status might have precluded him from owning a firearm…
