Yea. I was really disappointed when I saw those and found out he had those opinions.. because I've always liked Stu.

Inspirational story.. but I did lose some respect for him with those tweets a few months back.

With how long espn spent on Sam it was a joke. Obviously they wanted more people to talk about the gay guy.
Gee, I wonder why. Guys like you can't stop talking about the gay guy in a thread about Stuart Scott, you're part of the problem and don't even realize it.

It was around the Donald Sterling saga.. basically he said he didn't believe black people could be racist.. they can be bigoted.. but not racist.



And there were a few more ridiculous tweets defending his opinion.

Yeah, I don't think he's gonna be around this time next year. It's sad. Dude appears to be an awesome dad, and a great person.

Clam down. There is nothing for me to "get over." I still like Stu and find him inspirational.

I don't know that they've ever said. They found it in his abdomen when they did an emergency appendectomy a few years ago. I believe this is the third time it's shown up for him.

i just heard "rare form" not a specific kind in that video. But by his own account the things he went through the previous 10 days. I bet he dont last 3-4 more months, terrible disease

I agree that it doesn't seem like things are going well. Considering what he said he went through the other day it doesn't sound like he has much longer but I hope I'm wrong.

As for the tweets, agree or disagree, get over it. Everyone you know, friend or family, has done or said something that bothered you but you get over it. We have to stop putting people like this on a pedestal and being shocked when they aren't perfect in our eyes. They are people and with technology today we can see a lot more about them.

Supposably he doesn't want to know what his prognosis is.
