Who deserves to make millions? Your logic is asinine. No one deserves to play professional football especially in the NFL. A football team acquires a player to give them a better chance to win. The NFL as an entity is far more immoral than Chris Henry. What does the NFL gross? A player is a commodity in football more than any other sport. The league is ruthless and one of the most merit-based organizations I have come across. And the only reason he makes millions is because he generates 10 fold. You are spiteful because you associate worth with salary and your salary like most is comparably meager.
I know a dozen guys, most of them close friends, that have led the same lifestyle as Chris Henry minus the skill set. They are for most part products of their environment. Contrary to popular to belief, they had big hearts but just succumb to certain temptations. And yes, they are those individuals who transgress their environment and adapt well to a new one e.g. Baron Davis. However for the average person, the environment usually dictates what you will become unless their is an exceptional outside influence. Chris Henry was an extraordinary talent with the common street mentality. His association with NFL is only shines a light on the darker corners of the American landscape. Sadly, he was said to be improving his behavior and maturing.
RIP Homie and everyone else who died today.
