Things are about to get ugly in 5….4….3….2…..

Arizona Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle broke his silence today by giving his opinion on what happened to Sean Taylor and who killed him. Check it out:

Antrel Rolle vowed Wednesday to make sure Sean Taylor is remembered. He added he did not believe the killing was part of a burglary gone sour, and that Taylor had many enemies on the streets of Miami.

“This was not the first incident,” Rolle said. “They’ve been targeting him for three years now.” Rolle said many former “friends” had it in for Taylor, who was trying to build a more stable life.

“He really didn’t say too much,” Rolle said, “but I know he lived his life pretty much scared every day of his life when he was down in Miami because those people were targeting him. At least, he’s got peace now.”

I don’t like where things are headed, because although by all accounts it seems Sean Taylor had turned his life around, he’s going to be vilified in the media and indirectly blamed for his own death. This is not American Gangster, Taylor didn’t lead any vast criminal enterprise, he didn’t commit any atrocious crimes. Like many black males he simply had a bunch of friends who didn’t have their shit straight, then eventually realized that and distanced himself.

But instead of celebrating his life, this will undoubtedly deteriorate into a bullshit Don Imus-like story about hip hop culture ruining America. I’ve seen this story too many times and it’s stale.
