I appreciate the portrayal of resilience and strength that a team or league might want to demonstrate after a tragedy of this sort - it can be important to approach, rather than be averse to, normalcy following some sort of trauma - but keep in mind that a coach and general manager who will be at the game watched a man they knew shoot himself in the head on the same grounds where a football game will be played today YESTERDAY.
I'm interested to hear any thoughts about this, and hope that any discussion remains respectful to the sensitive circumstances - I don't think anyone - be it media, players, management, and certainly not us, knows what the 'right' response might be in this situation.
