Marshawn Kneeland’s tragic death is still a fresh wound, but it can be quite difficult for fans to separate the sport they love from real life. It often leads to uncomfortable interactions.
Per a release from the Texas Department of Public Safety, Kneeland was involved in a traffic stop following a moving violation in Frisco, Texas.
A chase would ensue, and the police would lose sight of him. The car was later found after a crash. Kneeland died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after leading Texas DPS troopers on a chase.
Many of his current and former teammates, like Micah Parsons, have mourned him on social media.
Dallas Cowboys safety Juanyeh Thomas is one of those current teammates who would love to mourn his deceased friend, but the fan base has other ideas.
