What do Kellen Winslow and Eli Manning have to do with Pat Tillman?

I mean, they both play the same game Tillman played (before he bravely went to war for his country), but I don't see any other connection.

If I remember correctly, Winslow compared that football game to "war" and it drew some fire.

Winslow is an "f'ing soldier..."

I think it's two Americans recognizing another's true sacrifice for America.

What you're seeing is posturing by late-comers. Many of us have for years decried the use of the words battle, war, combat, soldier, hero, etc in reference to sports. During the soft decades people really believed the hype. Pat Tillman has shown them (us) all that the soft years are over. These writers are just beginning to get it. Manning Jr. and Winslow Jr. are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The writter is offering his point of view of how Tillman had class and the other two do not (in his view).

Maybe this will let you see what I mean.
