Kansas State Football / Re: sick to my stomach

I feel sick to my stomach right now, not just from the news of Dylan's tragedy but from reading the posts from some of you so-called EMAWers.  I know I'll get annihilated for posting this, but it needs to be said anyway.  I cannot for the life of me understand how a person can make fun of another for dying.  I didn't understand it with Brooks Berringer, and I don't understand it now.  Whatever you thought of his football career here, he was a human being with a family who is suffering terribly right now.  What if his family would read this board looking for support from the Wildcat Nation and find some of these comments instead?  I don't want to understand the sick mind that even thinks these things let alone putting it out there for others to see.  Would you say these things out loud or is it just because you're anonymous on this board?  I've looked at some other fan boards, and it's pathetic when the fan base making jokes is the one he played for.  Go ahead and make fun of me, but I hope this makes you think just a little bit.

I send out many prayers and condolences to the Meier family and sincerely hope that none of you ever have to deal with anything like this.

Could not agree more!  I know this site tries to be all edgy and everything, but come on.  This is not the time to make fun of the guy.  I too have looked at other team boards, and no one is stooping as low as this board.  It's sickening. To say Dylan's family should not be reading this thread is ridiculous.  The thread is titled RIP Dylan Meier.  It is on a K-State board.  Seems pretty logical that it would be sympathetic towards his family and sad for the loss of his young life.  I've talked to several friends who read this board regularly, and all are in agreement it is just in poor, poor taste.
