el Tigre Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Just heard Vernon Forrest was killed when he resisted a robbery attempt in Atlanta. ESPN ran a story about all his charitable works when they reported his death. I knew he was a hell of a fighter in his prime,but I didn't know all the good he did in his community. Why don't you hear more about the good stuff some of these athletes do? You don't hear about it until after he's gone. What a shame. RIP Vernon.
