Why did Denver Broncos receiver Kenny McKinley choose to die?
The booming bass bounced off the walls in the Broncos' locker room as the rap song "Chirpin" played in the background. Before one practice in October, Denver receivers traded quips like short routes. It was as if Kenny McKinley was right there with them, cracking jokes and a smile so wide, as one teammate said, "You could see every tooth in his mouth."
Very true about not thinking that pro athletes are immune to the stressors we often face in life. I have been unfortunate to experience losing two classmates in H.S. from suicide and it is dear to my heart because I have battled depression in the past and it's definitely still tabo to discuss or to even open up for fear of being labelled.
