The funeral services for fallen NFL player Sean Taylor were held today in Florida. Thousands of mourners, including the members of the Washington Redskins and actor Andy Garcia, were present to pay their respects.
Rev. Jesse Jackson provided an eulogy in which he proclaimed that, "Our American house is on fire. We've become much too violent. We accept violence as the norm . . . It is uncivilized. It must be rejected."
Yesterday, the players of every NFL team wore Sean's number, 21, on their respective helmets to honor him. A moment of silence was also observed prior to each game.
Personally, I thought the most touching of the tributes was made by his teammates on the Redskin defense. Their first play from scrimmage had only ten men, leaving a void where one had fallen.
