Usually I am sympathetic about suicides but this one just has me angry. Suicide, to me, is like quitting and everything I knew about Seau is that he wasn't a quitter. Most of the former players who experienced dementia were in their 50s. Seau was just 43. Those around him are saying they had no clue this was going to happen, that he seemed his normal and jovial self.
Yes, there are people who experience depression and others who lose their mental faculties but, until I read otherwise, it doesn't sound like Seau was experiencing either. He meant so much to San Diego and to the NFL that this all just seems senseless.
It's also not tragic. Tragedies are unavoidable. This was avoidable and premeditated.
