Freddogg Off The Chain

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Titans called police Monday night for help searching for Vince Young because his therapist told Coach Jeff Fisher the quarterback mentioned suicide several times before driving away from his home with a gun.
This A.P story may be fair game but it is socially irresponsible. Most newspapers have a policy of not reporting on suicides because of the copy cat factor.
I assume the same policy is in play for failed suicides and people who go into counseling because they are thinking about suicide.
Suicide is an overriding of the instinct for self preservation and therefore a chemical and cerebral imbalance which may be triggered by life events. Suicide if often described as the most selfish of crimes and I have actually written stories of suicides at the request of parents who wanted the story told.
The freaking NFL is a depressing place stocked with upsidedown values and overemphasis on stupid shit. Vince Young is extraordinarily successful and famous and rich but he also retains his right to be sensitive, pensive, introspective and just tired of it all.
Remember when T.O. was rescued by paramedic and his bitch scheduling woman said,” Terrell had 20 million reasons not to commit suicide.” That may have been the dumbest statement ever in the history of quoted sycophants.
The are no sacred cows outside of India but publicizing thoughts of suicide by celebrities or anybody seems seedy to me.
