Sean Taylor Charged with Aggravated Assault

[celts32]

My only concern in this is the #1 draft pick the Redskins will be losing on this guy becasue frankly I am not sure I want this guy on my team anymore. How can we possibly root for this thug?

The big thing is how his teammates feel about him, and going by Cooley's recent comments in the Post he has the support of his team.

Fans are quick to forgive, especially once he starts smacking people around on the field, it won't be too long before fans are cheering for him again.

September 19th, Taylor crushes Drew Bledsoe on a saftey blitz, the love fest continues.

I'd like it better if Matt Bowen or Ryan Clark crushed him.

Not for me it doesn't! I will cheer the play and the other 10 men who executed it and the coaches who designed it, but none of my cheers will be for thug boy. This f-ing guy was waving guns around like he was trying out for a starring role in "Boys in the Hood II". There is a reason he could get 20 years for this.

I have been a diehard skins fan for 30 years...you don't need to love everyone who wears the uniform to love the team. I have a hard time imagining that I will ever like Sean Taylor as much as I would have before this incident. I just can't like a thug. If he gets out of this and keeps his nose clean for a while time may change the way I feel, but that is not going to happen this season.

Absolutely agree Celts. I NEVER cheered for Deion Sanders, even when he played for the skins because I couldn't stand him as a person. It never got in the way of my fanaticism of the Skins, but him, I was not going to cheer for.

Deion is the example that I had in my head but I didn't mention his name. I never once cheered Deion and really he never did anything near as bad as Taylor. I just couldn't stand him and whenever there was a good play that he was involved in(Few and far between) it even took a little away from my enjoyment that he was the one who made the play. Deion was an impossible guy to like.

Exactly my point..........and you're right.......even Deion had better judgment than ST. If I could never bring myself to cheering for Deion, then how the heck am I going to cheer for a guy like ST? We're definitely on the same page here celts.

You may be right, but personaly I don't know that I can ever cheer him. This guy is waving guns around! This is not the run of the mill spoiled athelete behavior we all learn to overlook. This is serious...if this is true he is a complete thug regardless if anyone stole his ATV or not. Why does he even own a gun? I will most likely cheer a good play he makes in the heat of the moment but I will never cheer him individually. I guess time could change how I feel provided he cleaned up his act, but it will take more than just a few nice plays on the field to change my opinion of this thug...
