R.I.P. Junior

I don't know why your death affected me so. Is it because your mom and dad were familiar sights on TV during the 80s & 90s and to see them in such anguish is heartbreaking? Or is it because suicide has impacted my life in recent years and you always seemed like the one football player I'd like to know.

All I know is, though I never rooted for the Chargers, though I disliked the Chargers vehemently, I sought your name out whenever you were on the screen.

Junior Seau, you were a great representative of the Asian/Pacific Rim. As an Asian, I was glad you represented me. Thank you. And thanks for all the great entertainment in football you've provided for 20 years.
