You are aware that frees had serious mental issues right?

This was a hell of a thing to say.

Very sad. He was quite the utility guy for the Reds. Here is my only card I have of him in my Reds collection.

Not to mention that it seems like a prerequisite; no sane person would kill themselves. That statement is always an ignorant one.

Rest in peace, sir.

Much like religion, we all have our beliefs on taking ones own life.

From a teammate:

One thing I remember about Ryan Freel is that he had an imaginary friend (Farnie?) he would carry on conversations with his friend

Left a wife and daughter behind

I'm somewhat with TBP here. You don't kill yourself if you have a kid. He just stole any chance his daughter had for a normal life.

Sad that my first thought was at least he didn't take anyone with him

Freel was a screwed up guy. Besides his mental issues, he was arrested twice for drunk driving.
I feel terrible for his wife and child.

While I do understand both sides of the argument, at the end of the day Ryan Freel is still a human, and is still dead. No one on this board (including myself) knows what he was going through in order to influence this tragic decision. To call him a "selfish motherXXXXer" after such an event, in my opinion is low. However that is simply my opinion.

I don't care what your belief is in this case. It's wrong.

Suicide is clearly a horrible option. Only someone suffering from serious mental illness/depression would ever resort to such a thing. Very sad. I'll say a prayer for him and his family.

Are you for real? Do you have any idea what guy was probably going through?

ThoseBackPages · Dec 23, 2012

Yes i am serious. Suicide is XXXXing selfish.

The morality of what he did is largely a cultural and religious issue, the kind of topic often discussed on the general discussion board here.
