107.5 pulling a slick one about CJ Fuller

About 20 mins ago on 107.5 the game they brought up the CJ Fuller situation and was doing the whole thoughts and prayers thing. Well then discussing what happened, for whatever reason they just had bring up his troubles with the law and people trying to connect the dots with that, but then said in no way were they saying that was related to what happened and they just don't know at this time until the autopsy is complete.
I mean seriously? Was it even necessary to bring that up? Did that make them feel better to say it in that way? I could see that coming from a fan, but the actual radio hosts. It might not be much, but that had me boiling!

The State (uscjr) paper did the same thing. There was as much or more in the article about the charges as there was about his death.

Was there not eye witnesses and video evidence of him participating in an armed robbery? Was he not facing a potential 30 year sentence? It’s probably not related, but how can you not expect someone to bring it up?

I have run into 4 people now that say they saw it or heard that he was shot, I told them it was a blood clot or from seizures . It had nothing to do with any trouble. One said “we’ll he got busted for robbing a liquor store the other day” I told him” No he didn’t, he hasn’t been in trouble since May. It’s just depressing that people, no matter who you pull for would smear someone that passed away. GO TIGERS!!!!!!

I respected C.J. as an athlete. I don't really know anything about His personal life. All I know is who he was on the field. His family is in my prayers. I don't know what happened with the charges and I do not know how he died. I do know that death does not suddenly make someone a saint. Our lives are a book with good chapters and bad. Death does not erase the bad. I think it is distasteful to overly dwell on the bad, but at the same time, I think it is dishonest to attempt to completely erase the bad and pretend they never happened. I think the problem is the Coots relish the bad chapter and try to define C.J. by that single incident.

If coming from CNN or MSNBC....probably shot. Otherwise, it was a blood clot/seizure.

But if TMZ can take the time to get it right....
Are they the new standard in "journalistic excellence "?

Someone told me they read it was complications from surgery

I figured it wasn’t anything to do with homicide because they didn’t release any info. I would think they want the public to know and come forward with any info if it were something of that nature.

They have grown weary of moaning about Bentley and Muschamp. Our sorrow lifts their deflated spirits.

Should be a difference between 'observing' and 'judging'

We're all guilty of it unfortunately.
For example, we can observe that CJ Fuller died. He has family and friends that love him regardless of circumstances.
Judging is when people make assumptions about his life, cause of death, and the 'he brought it upon himself' nonsense. This happens all the time with victim shaming across all spectrums.
