You don't get my issue here, obviously.

You can speculate as wildly as you like, as irresponsibly and non fact based as you'd like. I really don't care about that.

But when the OP responds to such speculation with his own speculation that it likely is not a factor, then takes heat for speculating, it is ridiculously hypocritical.

As the OP tried to say, this happens to people with saddening regularity from all segments of society, the fact that in this case the perpetrator plays football may be some sort of a catalyst, on the other hand it may merely be incidental. The reasons behind it may be the same as for anyone else that commits a similar crime, other than the level of fame this man had.

Either way my point is speculation is speculation, so being critical of one posters speculation in an effort to try to legitimize your own is completely hypocritical.
