brinkeguthrie Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Will the Colts have a JD patch or sticker to show solidarity with the Dungy family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Since he was not an official member of the Colts I don't think so. But I'm sure some of the players will at least do something to show their solidarity with the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 There will be a moment of silence before the Seahawks-Colts game. I think Tampa Bay was going to try to do that too since he worked out with the team when Tony coach there.

DrBear Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 According to ESPN Sat. AM, the colts will wear a small horseshoe decal on the left rear of the helmet with the boy's initials in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowBoutThemFins Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I know it's a touchy subject, but is this really necessary? The kid apparently took his own life and we're supposed to pay tribute to him? It's a sad situation and it's a shame that it happened but come on...

MJWalker45 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I just think that if they aren't an official member of the team, you shouldn't make the whole team wear a memorial patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sad situation and it's a shame that it happened but come on... I agree.The kid committed suicide. He's siting in hell for his own stupidity.It is a tragedy for Tony, and the Dungy family, but i have no soft spot for the kid himself.

A post like that should be a bannable offense. Get a grip. Many people, including myself, think suicide is the coward's way out.I have no problem with the Colts having this sticker on their helmets. Even though it's James Dungy's initials, I see this more as support for their coach than a memorial for his son.

Roger Clemente Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 The kid committed suicide. He's siting in hell for his own stupidity.Wow. You are the biggest douche bag ever. A post like that should be a bannable offense. As blunt as his comment was, I agree with him. Should someone have a memorial patch for someone who had (and took) the choice to end their own life? I don't think it's necessary, particularly when it's not a member of the team. Remember when Brett Farve's father died, also just before Christmas? The Packers didn't honor him with any memorial decal or patch (at least to my knowledge).Still, I'm not going to stop them from honoring him if they want to.--Roger "Time?" Clemente.

BBTV Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Many people who commit suicide were suffering from extreme mental illness. Sometimes they were getting treatment, often they weren't. When someone who was suffering from this kind of illness commits suicide, I don't see it as being any different from someone who dies from cancer or another disease.I have no idea if this was the case with Dungy, nor do I think it was right or wrong that they wore a decal.

IceCap Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 According to my faith, unless you commit suicide to save an other, it's a sin. I happen to agree with my faith on that point, so I'll leave it at that. Still, I don't mind them doing this, as it was more of a show of support for Coach Dungy then the Colts honoring the kid.

CS85 Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 It's more of a gesture to Tony Dungy than to James Dungy. James Dungy I don't really pity, poor troubled kid felt killing himself was the best way out. Tony didn't deserve to deal with this kind of pain, but alas he must.
