jose fernandez being sued soon like i said
Here comes the lawsuit soon. One of the the 'friends' of jose had never driven a boat and only met him once before so its unlikely he drove. If there is evidence and a verdict that Jose caused the death of 2 people, this could impact his legacy. If you were the family of a someone who died based on the actions of a celebrity, i would think you would be upset every time you saw that celebrity being honored as it would bring up memories of a tragedy.
http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2016/1...et-lawyer.html We are a long way away in terms of proof and such, but if there is significant evidence that Jose killed two people would you still name a high school or some type of school after Jose Fernandez for all he has done in miami community.

If you were the parents of the other 2 victims on that boat and they were against naming a school after him they may beg to differ
In addition thus far the bad driving actions may be a result of being a fight with a girlfriend and worse yet maybe alcohol involved Basically if Roberto Clemente was operating the plane in 1973 and the crash killed 2 passengers and was as a result of pilot error, i dont think his legacy would even be one half of what it is today.

I don't think that's true. Processing a death is not as black and white as you're making it out to be. There are many emotions that trump blame when it comes to the early death of a beloved person in the community.

This is all premature, and indeed the lawyer said he is awaiting the results of the investigation. At this point there is no basis even to speculate.

"We are a long way away in terms of proof and such, but if there is significant evidence....." i do think it is also premature to celebrate the guy (ie. name schools after him) given that theres at least a chance right now he is responsible for killing two people. He is beloved in the community as was stated in this thread, i just think the beloved level may go down depending the results of the wrongful death case etc Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-20-2016 at 11:01 AM. |

munson did not kill anyone other than himself, now Oscar Taveres killied someone likely while being drunk but since the accident did not occur in the united states, there were no lawsuits here which would of impacted his legacy more. I just find it hard to honor anyone that is responsible for killing someone no matter their exploits on the playing field.

I think you're losing sight of what's important. The things Fernandez did for children and people in his community don't get erased because of the circumstances of his death. Naming something after him for his charity work or work within his communities is not a vote of support for any type of behavior you're insinuating contributed to his death or the deaths of the people on the boat. We name our schools after much worse people.

There could be a 20 million dollar judgment against Jose Fernandez that is pending as his heirs try to hide money from the plaintiffs going on while they are naming schools after him. Good grief. Again its too early to tell fault but thats true about a lot of things. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-20-2016 at 01:10 PM. |

The only thing separating Thurman Munson and Jose Fernandez is a little bit of dumb luck. Munson seriously injured two passengers and could very well have killed them - yet no one complains about the literal monument dedicated to him at Yankee Stadium. Most of us see the good in people, and virtually everyone can agree, Jose Fernandez was one of our best. |

accidents do happen but they are preventable as well. You have to be responsible for your actions. Some drunk (not saying this is the case) can also cause an accident but you would not tolerate that person saying 'accidents happen' Saying 'accidents happen' does not relieve you of responsibility. What if you killed 20 kids and it was entirely at fault. So if killing 2 adults in the last seconds in your life isnt enough to prevent your name on a school how about 10 people? how about 30 people? To me every life is valuable, if its not good to kill 30 people then its not good to kill 1. History tends to judge people on what they did at the worse which is probably less than .0001% of what they did the rest of their life thats how it goes. We all have the lowest moments in our lives, the key during that time is not to be killed or kill someone. What is sad is killing someone is the only thing that is unforgivable because you cant ask for forgiveness from someone you killed. Last edited by 1952boyntoncollector; 10-20-2016 at 01:50 PM. |
