RIP Dwayne Haskins

[MTK]

Really have no idea what Shefter and Brandt were thinking. A young man just tragically lost his life and these morons show zero respect. His family and friends are hurting, have some common fucking decency. What's wrong with people?

People with a platform need to be especially careful. Even we should probably be careful and most of you are but I'm more willing to put my foot in my mouth.

Haskins made a lot of questionable decisions in his life. This was the final one. Those of us who are parents get this - you stop the car and your kid goes to get out - what's the first thing you do. Yell at them to wait and make sure nobody is coming because this is exactly what can happen.

I don't care if he was walking across the highway, or alongside it, or had just gotten out. Getting out of your car on a highway is a very, very bad idea. Unless you can pull 10 feet off and safely exit from the car with room to spare. Even then.

Shit happens and maybe his car failed or ran out of gas or whatever. Call roadside assistance, don't get out on the edge of the highway shoulder.

Schefter’s initial, since-deleted tweet read: “Dwayne Haskins, a standout at Ohio State before struggling to catch on with Washington and Pittsburgh in the NFL, died this morning when he got hit by a car in South Florida, per his agent Cedric Saunders. Haskins would have turned 25 years old on May 3.”

I thought Schefter's tweet was fine. Hes a reporter and people reading his news might not know who Dwayne Haskins is.

Seems harsh to us bc we know who Haskins is and are football fans so it seems like info he didnt need to put in there but probably important context to someone who didnt know who Haskins is.

Cardale Jones tweet can include personals like "son, brother, husband, Buckeye brother etc .."

Schefter is a reporter and he sent out a news report type tweet.

Brandt's on air comments were insensitive. Guessing about his personal life and choices etc things Brandt doesnt know anything about.
