The Chiefs finally got another win yesterday (bringing the team to 2-10) just 24 hours after Jovan Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend then went to the stadium and shot & killed himself. The players left a ‘tribute’ at Jovan’s locker. They left his red No. 59 jersey hanging up along with his helmet, white pants and cleats.
Many are angry saying that he shouldn’t memorialized because he committed a murder and left a baby without his parents. Understandably people are upset, but is there an exception because this was still a teammate & friend?

Even the players themselves were not sure what to make of the display.
“I don’t know if it’s a shrine, or whatever you want to put it. It’s a tribute,”offensive tackle Eric Winston said. “He was a player on this team. We’re all struggling to reconcile the conflicting emotions we have about a family member, a teammate and the tragic events that took place yesterday. It’s hard.”
Belcher was not honored publicly on Sunday, but a moment of silence was held in honor of victims of domestic violence.

I don’t think he should be memorialized! For what? This man shot the mother of his child and then cowardly killed hisself leaving their child without parents! He has ruined his daughters life, his girlfriends family and friends and even his own in a selfish act. He should not be memorialized for that at all!
