Should Pat Tillman be elected in the Football Hall of Fame?

yeah, it is almost a disgrace to group Tillman with the likes of Michael Irvin and OJ Simpson
Or vice versa when it comes to actual football prowess -
he was viewed as a person of great character the day he enlisted. dying only added to that status. and how he died doesn't really effect anything about how people should view him.
but i dont know if he should get in. I'm just playing devils advocate i guess
Again I write....
lol how convenient of everybody to forget that FACT
when you think about it this whole situation is ironic. He selflessly gave up a career in football for his country. He wanted no fame and no fortune. And in return he got killed by his own ppl, used as propaganda by the US gov't and paraded around as iconic by the nfl. -

sure i see the irony, but thats probably more a topic for the social lounge and doesnt really apply here -
Pat tillman would roll over in his grave @ this mockery of his sacrifice and the NFL HOF.

They should have at least named our new stadium after him. I hate the name University of Phoenix Stadium. We left one college stadium just to go to another stadium named after a college. ?
-
the way he went out is irrelevant
no it's not because he's not a hero. He's just another dead guy. If you let him in then you have to let everybody whose career or life ended shortly. Gaines Adams might as well be in the hall of game then. -
If Tillman gets in....Sean Taylor should get in too

but he was labeled a hero and a man of extreme high character the day he enlisted -
If Tillman gets in....Sean Taylor should get in too
what did taylor do in his life that exemplified the type of character that the NFL tries to promote? -
if tillman get in the ? hall, sean taylor better get in the hall too
-
nah just make a special award in his name at the most
-
? no.
? Character. It's all about those stats.
By the way you're talking, I guess Mugsy Bogues should be in the NBA hall of fame lmao
