NFL MVP and Father of 4 Killed

NFL MVP Steve McNair was found dead, with gunshot wounds to the head, on July 4, 2009. Steve was a father to four sons in Mississippi, one of which is a star high school quarterback. McNair played for the Houston Oilers, Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens, and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times. He was the co-NFL MVP in 2003.

It is a tragedy that four black boys have are now fatherless due to violence in our community. Steve McNair not only was a father, but an athlete that so many black youth saw as a role model. My prayers go out to his family and especially his now fatherless sons.
