NFL player involved in the murder-suicide college has a degree is in Family Relation

[Xavier]

Not sure how many of you heard about the murder-suicide committed by the NFL player Jovan Belcher. One of the details that came out is that he has degree in child development and family relations. Wow...this is such a sad story especially for the girlfriend and the 3-month old daughter who is left with out parents.

Belcher graduated with a degree in child development and family relations. He was a mentor in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. (Belcher was raised by his mother and older sisters.) He participated in the university's Male Athletes Against Violence group, which seeks to educate men about their role in the prevention of domestic violence. He was humble, the proverbial man of few words.

In late October, when Belcher was in West Babylon for his high school's homecoming game, he avoided the sideline, lest he be asked to give a speech. "To get him loud," says Ollie Roy, 30, a longtime friend from the area, "you'd really have to piss him off."

yes read about the degree, seems like an easy major.

his mother was a single parent, haven't heard anything about his father and during undergrad, police had been called to his dorm because him tump the wall or window (over one girl)

so not sure how much of his college "major" he absorbed. (nuff a these athletes pick majors dem feel dem can manage and dat look easy not saying this is the case here)

people will have them issues and if not treated will most likely morph into demons

one of the articles that i read theorized that he possibly had brain trauma from all the lick him get.

I think the team said that since his career had just started that them nuh think it was concussion related

if somebody a get batta batta from High School of course dem nah guh righted inna dem head

someone who claims to be close to him called out one game with the Bengals where he suffered a concussion and was dazed after that game with short term memory loss


a think a the Bengals but mi a nuh sports fanatic suh not really sure

Football is a violent game...Concussion are not I must be hard to turn on and off the violence..

Disclaimer: I do watch football...

very sad and disturbing.....he spent the night with another young lady that night, wake up and go over to his ex, shot her, then shot himself, for someone that they say isnt violent, this is confusing,

very sad, he had a brilliant future, the young mother is gone and now the baby, his baby, must grow up with this?? saddd indeed
