Ken Behring Died

[TwistedHusky]

Not me. I am glad he is dead.

He subjected us to Flores. He tried to steal the Seahawks.

He was a fat, ugly, piece of crap human being with little to no redeeming value save for his accumulated wealth.

The world is slightly better place now that he is gone.

RIP? Not even close. If there is a hell, I'm hoping he is burning away in it.

I don't hate him. Just glad he is gone.

One less scumbag walking the face of the planet. Good riddance.

Maybe trying to move the team to LA was the best thing to happen to the franchise? If he hadn't tried to do it, Paul Allen doesn't get involved and the franchise languishes under Behring's ownership for many more years.

Mamma always told me that if I had nothing nice to say, not to say anything. In light of that, here's my statement regarding the death of Ken Behring:

 

[Shanegotyou11]

Condolences to his family and those that cared about him.

I’m neither.

I absolutely agree - perfectly stated!

I care what he thinks. This thread is filled with <snip, because we don't attack posters>.

There are a grand total of 2 that are outright disrespectful. You people need to get over yourselves.

I've always found the notion of dancing on one's grave to be rather distasteful.

Time to bring the moving trucks to LA I guess.

I thought he was dodgy.

The attempted LA move and trying to pretend he never knew that hired killer Blatt.

 

[Vesuve]

I'm not saying Behring knew anything about it. He didn't.

But he played the 'I never knew him, card. '

I hold KB in the same contempt as I do Howard S. Lousy owners.
Yet, KB was into philanthropy as time went on and donated over 1 million wheelchairs to those that could not afford it.
Kudos to him for that,

 

[Seymour]

not worth it..... :roll:

 

[chris98251]

I echo the condolences to his family, he probably was important to them, but as a Seattle Seahawks fan there is nothing as he was antagonistic to this city.

Again Kudos to his Wheelchair work and Smithsonian donations I guess, even if he did shoot them himself.

 

[AROS]

I will say this.

As a Seahawks fan I can understandably not have anything nice to say about the man. But as a human being, he had worth, to his family, to his friends, he spent years on this rock like we all are, trying to learn lessons and do our best. His apparent philanthropy is a sign that the man had a heart, as much as we all want to snicker in the face of what we experienced with him.

The only one I didn't care for was the one I am currently replying to.

When I was in DC and saw the Behing name on the Smithsonian, it was very hard for me to reconcile my emotions. But you are 100% correct that we should not judge someone's whole life based on our narrow view of the person .... however... this is a Seahawks forum so any Seahawk related response is going to be through that lens.
