There's no reason to compare an honorable hero like Pat Tillman with these scumbags. Sacrilege!

Tragedy Returns to Arizona State

To any Sun Devils fan, the first tragedy was when they fired Frank Kush.

Pat Tillman's death was a terrible loss for this country. How we need role models such as Pat.

Comparing this to Tillman is insulting.

What the...? They're comparing Pat Tillman to an accused murderer, or someone associated with the murderer?
