Default Lelands/Clemente family problems

Posted By: john/z28jd

Gil i dont get offended easy but this is obviously people making money off a tragedy that has a recognized name attached to it. Im not offended by it but if someone came to me and asked me if i wanted it for free i wouldnt hesitate to say no and id wonder what was mentally wrong with them to think that i would want it.If the sale was for charity i could understand it but i still wouldnt know who would want it.Ive never heard of someone famous dying and said to myself,i gotta have that jacket they were wearing when they died.


I can clearly see how thats offensive to a close family member as well as fans who followed him.Even if the family themselves were selling it,that wouldnt make it morally right and i would think less of them for doing it.Its in very poor taste as are some of the other things John mentioned.Just because theyve been auctioned off in the past doesnt make them right either.

How someone could agree with it being historic enough to be collected and agree that its not in poor taste,i dont understand their thinking.
