Guns And Purse Straps Kill People
Football player Steve McNair -- killed by his younger girlfriend while he slept -- is, according to the Daily News' Mike Lupica, another victim of America's "gun" culture.
By this logic, boxer Arturo Gatti -- allegedly killed by his younger wife as he slept -- is, apparently a victim of Brazil's "purse strap" culture.
Rather than going for the easy, ahem, "target" of guns, the biggest lesson from the circumstances of these two incidents might be to tell male athletes not to cavort with women a whole lot younger.
Or at least not fall asleep on them.
