I agree with this article completely. I’m sorry but marriage vows do not trump LIFE. McNair committed a “sin” but people “sin” EVERYDAY. The fact that people feel as though they can judge this man’s mistakes are amazing to me, saying that none of us would think this was “deserved” if it were our cousin or brother or uncle who was the victim of some unstable woman’s fury.

With so much death in the past two weeks, this story flew underneath my radar. But, this is unthinkable to me. These women out here are CRAZY. I don’t understand why people cannot just walk away from each other! A romantic relationship should never, ever turn fatal….. And I am disgusted by anyone who says that McNair got what he deserved. Death should never be a consequence of an affair — or at least it shouldn’t be. And what about the kids who lost their father? What did they do to deserve that? Nothing.

@regina, This is more where I am.... However I refuse to speak ill of the dead, so I just pray for his family, and hope that they find peace.

@aaronica, Exactly. I actually heard someone say they had no sympathy for him, and thats just wrong. That person I know for a fact isn't perfect. No sin is greater than any other sin.

While what is said here is true….we must recognize the fact that Steve McNair did cheat. Does that mean he deserved to die…absolutely not…but something we try to teach our children…and as adults should have learned….there are consequences to our actions….unfortunantely sometimes the consequences maybe tragic….my heart goes out to his children and his wife….she now left to bring understanding to this tragedy to her young children…..

i think that it’s wrong for people to say things like “he got what was coming to him”. none of us know the fullness of the situation and to damn someone like that is hurtful and wrong. God is the only one who can judge and therefore determine what someone has coming to them and as mere humans (who also make mistakes) we are just a little to hasty in these damnations.

i don’t condone his actions and am a firm believer in karma but i think that saying things like that is hurtful. this is someone’s father, son, brother, etc that we are talking about and such things is quite insensitive to his loved ones.

@Rance Rob, I think its a bad situation all around. There are so many victims in all of this, more than anything his 4 sons and his wife. They have to live with this forever. Its a horrible legacy to leave. However, I saw someone that said they have no sympathy for him whatsoever. I think that is just wrong. I think you have to sympathize with death, no matter what. Sure he was cheating...but nobody is perfect. Nobody. We all have faults. His just resulted in the worst possible ending.

I agree with this to a certain extent. We all have choices and in this instance, Steve McNair chose to be an adulterer… As a result of his choice to be with her instead of his wife, he is now dead… Our choices always lead down a road to greatness or our demise…

I partially agree. Like the Bible says, The wages of sin is death. This is what seemed to have happened. Maybe a better scripture is what is done in darkness shall certainly be shone upon in the light. I think what people are saying is that if he had lived with integrity off the field like he did on the field then maybe he’d still be here today. One could argue that if it was his time it was his time. True. But he’d still be mourned without this dark cloud of controversy. I don’t know the status of his marriage but it all sounds like a shock to Mrs. McNair.

Sometimes their are consequences for our actions. He paid the ultimate price. He did place himself here in a sense but who’s to say he wouldn’t have died the same day and time in a car accident. All I know is that its better to live with integrity and honor than to go out like this.
