Kevin Johnson, former NFL defensive lineman, found dead at 55 in homeless encampment

Former Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders defensive lineman Kevin Johnson was pronounced dead after being found unconscious Wednesday morning at a homeless encampment in Los Angeles, according to the Associated Press. Johnson, 55, died from "blunt head trauma and stab wounds," the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner said. His death has been ruled a homicide.

Authorities are investigating and believe Johnson was living at the homeless encampment at the time of his death. According to the AP, Johnson's friends believe health issues in his post-playing career contributed to his unstable living situation.

This shit is always sad of how these former players lose it all being poor and homeless with the league not helping them.
This is why the NFL need to do something for players to get some retirement money after they retire form the NFL.

Not only did the NFL (aka the plantation) knowingly cover up the research of Dr. Omalu, smear his name and reputation, but also did everything they could to bury the movie Will Smith made about it.

Eventually, they settled on a pittance for CTE research and payouts compared to the revenue they bring in.

I can't say I hate the game but the owners are the biggest racists and scumbags in the world.

There is a retirement plan and there is a medical plan but compared to what the owners make it's a drop in the ocean.

Yup, which is a damn shame because no former player should be out on the street homeless.
I'm sure the medical plan the NFL give these players isn't shit compared to what these owners be making.

That's why I don't understand these players wanting marijuana drug test to end over health care after they retire. They only get it for five years of health care after they're done. After,that they're on their own.

Go, Pats!

are you going to watch the big game on a projector?

They will say that James Cone and his Liberation Theory should play a role in your subversion. And I don’t disagree with that. As a child of the Caribbean, I say, “how you view your liberation is how you view the death of your brothers and sisters.” If your massa ain’t give a shit when died, you ain’t gonna give a fuck when your brother and sister die.

It reveals the fecklessness of the union.

Get out the fog, young man.
