I’m sorry, but it must be Monday morning blues on a Tuesday morning.
What relevance does this article have to insurance? And what relevance does the majority of the story have to do with the unfortunate loss of a young life, mentioned briefly in the title and first paragraph?
How is it that creative writing gets such a long insert while other articles barely delve into their more-insurance related topics?
reality, this article fits perfectly with the now famous term in the NFL – Come on man! When something is stupid and has no relevance for our industry, it should not be printed.
Godot, the Insurance Journal censorship BOT. Proud of yourself? Just to add to your education, not that you will get it, “Come on man” refers to something idiotic that a player does in the NFL. They show it weekly during the season. You should try to stay up, but I doubt you even follow sports. You sound like one of those girly guys.
Geez, you’re an idiot…ya know, since we’re slinging insults. Please try to grasp the difference between censorship and comments. And I understand completely what “Come on man” means – my comment was that you seem to use it ad nauseum recently. I know a pretty fair amount about football – I have season tickets to my local NFL team, and watch as many games as possible during the season. I’m also acquainted with a former NFL player, as well as insuring a business owned by another former player. And I’m not a girly guy…I’m a girly girl. I’m sure since you have to characterize everyone on this site that isn’t exactly like yourself, in your book that probably makes me a manly girl. That assumption would be quite wrong as well.

I had same thoughts you had after reading this one.
I can understand what is said above, but if there is a story in this FREE publication that you don’t like – don’t read it. As a former life guard and someone that now insures municipal pools, swim clubs, YMCA pools and camps, it’s a good article to forward to my clients for them to pass onto their employed lifeguards. They’ll enjoy the read, my clients will appreciate me sending it and I have the INSURANCE JOURNAL to thank for it. All good.
Reality: I can’t imagine Joe the plumber saying, “I wonder what’s in today’s Insurance Journal. I’d better catch the latest insurance news.” Since you are reading these IJ articles and comments, I would naturally assume you work in the industry…maybe you even consider yourself an insurance professional.
Granted, the writer over-used a poetic license, but you don’t think that a death is insurance-related? Shall we just tell the insurer involved to ignore the claim because this death has nothing to do with insurance?

So, Agent, quoting the NFL with “Come on man!” is apparently your new favorite catch phrase?

Legitimate criticism. This article should not have run. Mea culpa– IJ.com Editor
