Former MSU db shot and killed

Submitted by RED DAWN on

Mylan Hicks, a former defensive back for Michigan State, was shot and killed outside a Calgary nightclub early Sunday morning.

 

Hicks, 23, was in his first year with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. He played four years with Michigan State, from 2010 to 2014, and was signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent in 2015.

Police responded to reports of shots fired outside the Marquee Beer Market around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, according to CBC News Calgary. Hicks was found in critical condition and was transported to the hospital, where he died. Three people of interest are in custody.

 

“The loss of this 23-year-old young man at this stage of his life and his career is an unfathomable tragedy,” Ken King, president and CEO of the Stampeders, said in a statement. “Our sympathies to Mylan’s family and to the Stampeders family of players, coaches and staff.”

I think MSU set a very bad prescedent for themselves.  Sadler isn't the first time that university tried to get good publicity for itself through tragedy.  Maybe you have to live here and be able to see through their immense pile of bullshit publicity moves.  The biggest being using a little blonde girl dieing from cancer to show what a good human being their rapist star center on the basketball team was. 

Are they going to induct a player of different color into their hall of fame for essentially dieing tragically? and use his death as motivation for their season the same way they did Sadler.  Show everybody what great family people they are, I am betting they won't.

I hate Sparty like Poison, but obviously not a much as you.  Taking a shot at them for celebrating the life of an immensly popular player and 4 time Academic All-American (and then somehow managing to suggest racism as well) might be a bit misguided.

You're saying if they put Hicks in the HOF, it will be for publicity.  If not, it is because he is a "different color."  Rivalries aside, that is a pathetic shot at a program suffering from the tragic deaths of two good kids in less than two months.
