brooks1957 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I am not trying to say what is right and what is wrong, as there is enough sadness in this story to go all around. I hope and pray for good health to return to the little girl. In the meantime, Adam Schefter is reporting Britt Reid is no longer with the Chiefs organization.

The owners of the Chiefs or Andy Reid or someone need to step up here and pay for this poor families medical bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Well yeah he obviously had to go. Probably the worst pre-Super Bowl screw up in it's history. Making Eugene Robinson and Barrett Robbins look like rays of sunshine in regards to their antics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he may have been drinking at work... it’s gross but I’m sure they’re keeping it hush hush while they do their own internal investigation and find out exactly what they’re dealing with. There’s huge huge payout on the way to the family and Britt is deservedly going back to prison. Awful all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieCamp Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I completely understand Andy Reid wanting to give his son every chance to redeem himself, but it looks like he made a really bad call on this one. Here's an ESPN article from 2007 that makes this situation even harder to stomach: https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=3089753 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he just supposed to be jobless that entire time? Who is to say that working for his dad hasn't helped keep him out of trouble sooner? Who says this doesn't still happen if he's working for another company? This is a tough situation and Britt Reid deserves to go to prison. Completely irresponsible. But I also think it's unfair to blame Andy Reid and the Chiefs for hiring him. Maybe if a report comes out that Britt was routinely drinking and driving, and the Chiefs knew about it but never put a kibosh to it, then yeah punish them too. But this just seems like a very, very unfortunate situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Does anything think that this story had any role in just how bad the Chiefs looked during the Super Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take care of folks with severe TBI...which considering that the girl is in a coma, this would qualify. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that the little girl will have challenges if she does wake up from her coma. There is a real chance she can have lifelong deficits...and could require MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS of dollars in care over the course of her life. That is a real possibility. So I'm sure that the Chiefs have at least some concern about implying guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Andy Reid and the Chiefs aren' t legally responsible, someone inside the Chiefs org needs tpo point out the negative swirl for them in this. Help the familty. While it's great that Chiefs fans have stepped up, it is incredulous that the team hasn't said much to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I read a story the other day where every car should have an interlock ignition whether you’ve gotten a DUI or not. It’s an interesting theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
