Darwin award candidate?

Sounds like he was one of the jackasses that helped tear down a goalpost after a football game and it hit him, killing him.

He was 20 years old; if he hasn't generated any offspring yet, I'd say he should be eligible for a Darwin Award.

Of course, I'm sure his "Mommy and Daddy" are already talking with lawyers preparing a lawsuit against the school, the goal post manufacturer, the stadium builder, etc. to try to capitalize on their loser son's behavior.

You guys are harsh. Way to draw conclusions with almost no information.

Not enough detail to tell if he was teh one pulling down the goalpost or in teh wrong place at teh wrong time.

Darwin awards favor intentional stupidity.
