Should Denver Broncos Fans Donate Money for Darrent Williams Headstone?
Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed eight months ago at the age of 23. He was buried on Jan. 6, and there has been just a temporary marker on the grave since then. Last week, Woody Paige wrote a column in the Denver Post in which he proposed that Broncos fans should donate money to purchase a dignified headstone for Williams, which Paige said would cost about $7,000. Paige opened a bank account where donations will be held, and he donated the first $250 himself. Today Paige writes that many readers reacted negatively. Comments included: “Spare me. … How about donating your money to all the poor people who have no money to bury themselves? The Broncos are so overrated here in Denver.
