RIP Mr.Hunt

[irishapple21]

Oh, goodness...

I'm really choked up right now. This is terrible news. I feel so bad for his family.

What a hero Lamar Hunt was for the soccer community in America. There will never be another like him.

Sigh.

This is so sad.

[Scrambles]

Ugh. I guess I'd been expecting it, but... not really.

RIP. And thank you.

We lost a great man.

I owe a lot of the best memories of my life to this guy.

As a kid, I loved going to NASL games and I look back on going to them with such fondness. Without Lamar Hunt's commitment to the NASL, that doesn't happen.

In college, Sunday afternoons in the fall were a time to relax with your boys, drink beer, eat pizza, BS and watch the NFL. Then over winterbreak I'd always get together with all my HS friends to share laughs and watch the NFL. I don't remember much about the games themselves - save for a couple or Redskins key wins - but the socializing is some of the best times I look back on from that era. Lamar Hunt helped make the NFL not just a league but a part of a social gathering.

As an adult, going to MLS games and having the sport to follow has brought me great joy. I had to fightback tears going to United's season-opener - with a bunch of friends - in 96. That doesn't happen without Lamar Hunt.

Never met the guy and he damn sure never heard of me. But without meaning to and without me realzing it till tonight, he had a huge influence over how I spent large chunks of my free time most of my life.

Thanks for letting me have those memories, Mr. Hunt. Godspeed and thoughts and prayers to your family.

Rest in peace in your heavenly best seat in the house.

Rest in Piece, Lamar. One of the biggest figures in sports history.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Hunt, and thank you for everything you did for all of us...

My prayers are with you and your family.
