chris henry involved in car wreck in charlotte

I find it hilarious that anyone on a fan message board should question a person's ability to empathize with a person they've never met.

"I can follow a team and root for people I've never met to succeed in their careers and live vicariously through them, but I'll be damned if I'll feel remorse for them when they die (even though death is quite possibly the one thing that links every single one of us)."

lol you live vicariously through football players you're pathetic

[Jbro]

I just talked to my next door neighbor and she said she goes to church with the girlfriend and girlfriends parents. She talked to the parents about an hour ago but all she told them was she going to bring them dinner tonight and tomorrow, where praying for you yada yada.

I think everyone on this board, yourself included, lives vicariously through the Panthers in a way. Anyone who does something as simple as cheering for the Panthers is living vicariously through them.

That you are on a Carolina Panthers forum is proof-positive of your emotional connection with the team, whether you like it or not.

You misspelled weltanschauung. Interestingly, I also subscribe to German cognitive theory, specifically schadenfreude.

Dammit Fiz!

emotional connection =/= living vicariously

[Mesmer]

Either way, it's pretty ridiculous to poke fun at a situation that's obviously very serious. If you're able to laugh about it, that's fine, but most people don't see it that way.

In that scenario, it's probably best if you keep those kinds of remarks to yourself.

3. felt or enjoyed through imagined participation in the experience of others: a vicarious thrill.

I think that's pretty close.

lol do you think i sit there and imagine im on the field getting picked off by linebackers

Really tragic story. Nothing can get out of hand quicker than a domestic argument. I hope the investigation goes quick and Chris's family isn't put thru the ringer more than needed.

Fwiw, I put Fiz on ignore months ago. I see that he hasn't changed.

No, but I bet when a pick is thrown you react with anger and disappointment just as the player who threw it does. Likewise, you're probably happy when that player throws a touchdown pass.

You are feeling the same emotions as the players, and yet you had nothing to do with their successes or failures. That's vicarious, even if you're not imagining yourself in their position literally.
