His family is BANNED from speaking at the event.
Yep, you heard me, Junior Seau's family will not be allowed to speak at the induction of Junior Seau into Canton after his CTE-laced suicide sacrifice to the Great Altar of Football in 2012.
The New York Times reported that the Pro Football Hall of Fame told the Seau family that the standing policy for dead players was a tribute video, even though the article notes that Seau himself always wanted his daughter Sydney to introduce him.
Oh come the fuck on.
We all know what this is.
FOOTBALL KILLED HIM!!
Yeah, I said it, Canton. THE MOTHERFUCKING "GAME" OF FOOTBALL KILLED JUNIOR SEAU!!
And you don't want to have to deal with not only THAT uncomfortable truth, but the uncomfortable truth of the effects it is still having on his surviving family three years on!!
Don't give me this fucking shit!
David Baker, executive director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, tries to take the heat off the NFL (Dude, we ain't fooled):
“We’re not the N.F.L., but the Pro Football Hall of Fame,” said David Baker, the executive director of the Hall. “Our mission is to honor the heroes of the game and Junior is a hero of the game. We’re going to celebrate his life, not the death and other issues."
