[Sumblinksk8er]

How did he die? no one ever said just said he died at his home at the age of 43... RIP reggie white, i always hade respect for him even though he was on the Packers who were the 9ers rivals

[XlenceOfXecution]

Reggie White played D-Line for the Green Bay Packers. I think he holds the record for the most sacks... i dunno. awesome player. RIP.

[elucy26]

Heart attack apparently...RIP

[Sureshot182]

[overtsilence]

soo... not that I'm a big NFL fan. and not that I live in the US either.. but seriously, people just cares about famous people.

ok, shut up, there's not gonna be a post about every single person who died today, and this site has no reason to write about world events. the fourms on this site talk about entertainment, and guess what? football is entertainment, so people care if their favorite player no longer can play... so dont be a dick about it

r.i.p. reggie

Maybe because I didn't hear about that. This isn't CNN by the way.

[ForeverInADay]

RIP mr. White. i remember watching him in the '97 super bowl i think it was. he was a great player.

[Scott Weber]

This is a tragedy. Reggie White was one of the few players in professional sports I actually respected - a man who was outspoken about his faith in God, a man who was a true leader, and one of the best defensive linemen in the game. This is just terrible news...My prayers go out to Reggie's family and friends. Rest in Peace...he's in a better place now. Lets all keep his family in our prayers.

cause some people look up to those guys as idols...

[oxfordqueef]

he was only like, 42 years old. the minister of defense. rip.

[Cocky Caucasion]

he was a good player, an even better man. I pray for him and his family.

[infamous_alias]

He was my favorite defensive player growing up too :(
Where did you guys see that it was a heart attack? The link I saw said they believed it was respiratory failure due to sleep apnea?

[YearsGoneBy]

god bless

[Russ Hockenbury]

God, that really says something that all of you remember him playing for the Packers not the Eagles. I guess none of you are old enough to remember Eric Allen, Seth Joyner, Jerome Brown (RIP) and Reggie White in Philadelphia. His racist comments aside, I think he meant well and was a good man.

[Drew Beringer]

i am a huge Packers fan, I grew up in Wisconsin, and everything Reggie did was great. I remember watching him collect 3 sacks in the super bowl in 97. My prayers go out to his family. The world didn't just lose one of the greatest NFL players ever, but the world lost a great person....RIP #92

[atticus_4132]

"NFL great Reggie White died December 26, 2004 of a massive heart attack, ESPN reported. White, 43, the league's former all-time sack leader, put together a Hall of Fame career as a defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers from 1985-2000. White is shown January 12, 1997."

Growing up I was a big Eric Allen and Seth Joyner fan.

[Gabe Borquez]

i think it's only appropriate for randall cunningham to try to make another comeback for his friend and former teammate reggie white.

rip homie.

[xKittycatx]

R.I.P. I don't know who Reggie White is, but it always sucks when someone dies. Condolences to his family and friends.

[Mike Kraft]

Reggie White was one hell of a player. He was a true Hall of Famer.

[Willy F]

ahem...
1) there is now a post about that tragedy... wait to see if a post shows up before getting pissy
2) just because you dont like the usa, football, the nfl, reggie white, etc (you never said you didnt like said things but there seems to be an implication) doesnt mean you should crap all over this message board. this is a serious and sad issue. if you dont like it because hes famous or for any other reason then this is probably a good time to turn the other cheek.

[apex]

reggie white was a bigotted preacher, but he wore a football uniform so he was good guy.

[yellow sunday]

the articles ive read said they believe it to be from respiratory failure due to sleep apnea

thats what they said on the radio also, r.i.p. awesome player, his number should be retired.

[yellow sunday]

football doesn't quite entertain me soo..

Maybe cause you don't live in the U.S. and you live in a gay country???

[estrella starr]

that's exactly what i remember him for...he was my first eagle hero, and now god has a hell of a d-line with him and j-brown back together


my thoughts exactly.

goodnight, mr. white.

[Greg Dona]

reggie white was a bigotted preacher, but he wore a football uniform so he was good guy.
in what manner was he bigoted? was it a religion or race issue? im not challenging you, just wondering.

[Hey Mr. Destiny]

Wow, when I was like 6, my family was at Universal Studios, and my dad saw him and asked him to take a picture with me. I still remember how cool he was about it, even though I had no clue who he was at the time. I still have that picture on my dresser, and it feels so weird looking at it now. R.I.P. Reggie, best wishes to his family and friends.

[kylekillspeople]

yeah man i remember being 8 years old and reggie white signed with the packers and it was like the biggest free agent deal ever. he brought a super bowl back to wisconsin in 97 and was adored by packer fans. i just wish bruce smith hadnt broken his record.

[kylekillspeople]

fucking dick. he used some racialstereotypes like everyone is guilty of and you call him biggoted? take a look in the mirror.

Gays are like liars and cheaters

" 'Homosexuality is a decision, it's not a race,' White said. 'People from all different ethnic backgrounds live in this lifestyle. But people from all different ethnic backgrounds also are liars and cheaters and malicious and back-stabbing.' " - Reggie White, Associated Press, March 25, 1998.

Gays hurt children, kill our people

"White said he stands by his remarks regarding gays. `I am going to speak the truth and I am going to speak out against things that's hurting our children, that's killing off our people,' White said. `If people think that's a contradiction and that's hate, they need to take them up with God, not with Reggie White.'" Associated Press, April 26, 1998, quoting White's 20/20 interview.

Gays are like backstabbers and malicious people

PEGGY WEHMEYER of ABC's 20/20: "Just last week, Reggie White and his wife, Sara, met us for an exclusive interview. White told us he was sorry if he offended anyone, but he wasn’t backing down one inch. (on camera) Are you saying there that homosexuals are like liars, cheaters, backstabbers and malicious people?"
REGGIE WHITE "Yes." - ABC's 20/20, April 27, 1998.

"Sodomite community"

"Reggie White's wife said CBS was `'too scared'' to hire her husband as a football commentator because of his controversial speech before the Wisconsin State Assembly. White, the Green Bay Packers defensive lineman who retired and unretired last week, used ethnic stereotypes and called homosexuality `'one of the biggest sins'' in the Bible in his remarks last month. 'They were too scared of the Sodomite community is what they said,' Sara White told ABC's '20/20'." - ASSOCIATED PRESS, April 26, 1998

Gays responsible for STDs

"America is not big enough to shake her fist in the face of a holy God and get away with it, and as I read this I want to explain something. I'm going to read this and then I want to explain something. As America has permitted homosexuality to establish itself as an alternate lifestyle, it is also reeling from the frightening spread of sexually transmitted disease. Sin begets its own consequence, both on individuals and nations."- Remarks by Reggie White to the Wisconsin Assembly, March 25, 1998.

Homosexuality one of the biggest sins

"Let me explain something when I'm talking about sin, and I'm talking about all sin. One of the biggest ones that has been talked about that has really become a debate in America is homosexuality."- Remarks by Reggie White to the Wisconsin Assembly, March 25, 1998.

Gays have problems

"Now, I believe that one of the reasons that Jesus was accused of being a homosexual is because he spent time with homosexuals. I've often had people ask me, would you allow a homosexual to be your friend. Yes, I will. And the reason I will is because I know that that person has problems, and if I can minister to those problems, I will."- Remarks by Reggie White to the Wisconsin Assembly, March 25, 1998.

Being gay compared to lying, gays hurt nation

"But the Bible strictly speaks against it, and because the Bible speaks against it, we allow rampant sin including homosexuality and lying, and to me lying is just as bad as homosexuality, we've allowed this sin to run rampant in our nation, and because it has run rampant in our nation, our nation is in the condition it is today."- Remarks by Reggie White to the Wisconsin Assembly, March 25, 1998.

Offended that gays say deserve rights

"Sometimes when people talk about this sin they've been accused of being racist. I'm offended that homosexuals will say that homosexuals deserve rights. Any man in America deserves rights, but homosexuals are trying to compare their plight with the plight of black men or black people. In the process of history, homosexuals have never been castrated, millions of them never died. Homosexuality is a decision. It's not a race."- Remarks by Reggie White to the Wisconsin Assembly, March 25, 1998.
