Florida Gator freshman and football player Michael Guilford and his passenger Ashley E. Slonina were killed in an motorcycle crash this Friday morning. The pair were not wearing helmets and going between 55-65 MPH when the one-vehicle crash occurred.

Urban Meyer stated “We are deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Michael Guilford,” UF coach Urban Meyer said in a statement released by the school’s sports information office. “He was an outstanding, quality young man that was loved, respected and admired by all of us. His unselfish efforts on helping his teammates getting ready to play every week were only a glimpse of the person he was. We pray that God’s blessing be with Michael’s family, friends and teammates during this sad and difficult time.”

Now, I may get some slack for this, if anyone evens reads this, but I feel not one ounce of pity for them or their families. These were two dumb kids not wearing helmets on a motorcycle (Florida does not require helmets of course) and got exactly what they deserve. This is natural selection at its finest.

I’d like to think that Guilford wore a helmet every time he played football for *safety*, which make his death even more ironic. If you can’t make the connection that if a lineman hurts, a road is going to hurt helluva lot more, you forfeit your right to live.

“Sunshine” Guilford

Kids, don’t pull Guilford. Wear your fuckin’ helmet.
