Ryan Mink from BaltimoreRavens.com recently posted a story about Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst. It’s a story of severe personal struggle – a story that most would keep hidden in the closet to avoid embarrassment, ridicule and even unwanted pity.
Four years ago, when Hurst wasn’t even on the radar screen for most Ravens fans, the South Carolina Gamecock attempted suicide.
For most of us, suicide is an unsavory and selfish act, far removed from thought. Suicide has been labeled as a despicable act of cowardice – the ultimate cop out when faced with adversity.
