Mane the news just reported he is still alive but on life support. What the hell!

He been on life support the entire time… the dad is saying he is dead… the mom is saying otherwise… The dad is the one who reached out to all his former coaches and TOLD them to release the statement. Basically the mom and the dad aint on the same page.

We love our schools & like to have fun , but these young men literally put their lives on the line for us. Devastated about this young man's death. It's not important now , but I can see the NCAA eventually adopting the NFL kick off rules following Burnetts death.

Another discussion about palliative care & Power of attorney would be appreciated here because this is odd. He was pronounced dead before the retraction & push back 48 hours before he was actually declared legally dead . Now reports say that the coroner declared him dead Wednesday evening at 5:43 pm.

Believe the father acted on emotion (can't fault him for losing a child) and went to the media before the other family members wanted to
