I would like to know the meaning to your zone Jason Fazzone. I read your article (May 8, Intoxicated deaths spark as much anger as suffering). Yes you are right: you are insensitive. I hope you never have to walk in the shoes of any of the Ohio University teammates or Sarah's parents. You have no idea what Sarah is to this team as well as many others at OU, and for you to sit there in front of your computer and write an article like this is beyond me. I have always thought that when something tragic happens, something good should come from it. Instead of writing an article about your anger, you should write about learning a lesson from this. Not a day has gone by that I don't miss Sarah for who she is: for her huge smile, her laugh, for what she meant to her teammates, to the soccer parents and most of all to her grieving parents, sisters and family members.
You say you find it hard to sympathize with either of them. Well I find it hard to believe that you can write something about someone you knew nothing about.
Before you go and pass judgment about Sarah ' saying things like it was avoidable, that she was drunk ' maybe you should get all the facts first.
I choose to honor Sarah for who she was, to pass her story along to whomever will listen. That way, when you see someone doing something that they shouldn't, maybe you will think of Sarah's story and stop them.
That is how Sarah would have wanted it. Not to be written about by an angry, insensitive person who knew nothing about her.
I challenge all Ohio University athletics, when The Post asks for an interview, ask who will be doing the interview. If it's Jason Fazzone, just keep on walking!
