Idk, a sideline pass wouldn't be my idea of support. It's more like a perk, but then again I am just a regular joe poster.
I don't get why people care.
Because it was in poor taste? He had as much right to be there as Prince Bandar.

bbgun and iamtdg - "The Taste Arbiters" of things that don't affect them.
See? You're obsessed with his punishment, rather than support and rehabilitation. I thought it was in excellent taste. Get your priorities straight Goebbels.
Not trying to single you out. (You're my boy, Blue) But I think people are over reacting to this. (being on the sideline). Yes, what happened was horrible. It was a retarded decision made by both him and Brown to drive in the shape they were in. But like I said above, it is a retarded decision many of us have made in the past. The only difference being, we were lucky enough not to have this happen to us.
I don't think him being on the sideline was wrong. He was a friend and team mate, and they are only trying to show support. Show him that while what happened was horrible, they are still there for him. The same support I'd imagine our friends would try show us if the same had happened to us.
People are acting like this was a premeditated, planned killing. Not even close. Him and his best friend went out for a good time, made a terrible decision, and a tragedy happened as the result. But there was no malicious intent.
Taste is subjective.
Your focus might be seeing Brent punished while the Cowboys focus might be helping their teammate get through a very tough time in his life by allowing him to come to work. Not actually work, but just be there to have a little escape from the shit he's got himself into.
I understand fans and nascar moms everywhere might have been mortified to see him on the sideline but their opinions aren't really relevant.
The people who matter decided that helping Brent is more important than punishing him right now (the punishment will come) so everyone else really ought to just zip it.
Just curious. Have you ever driven after drinking? Ridden with someone who had been drinking? I have.
