If a man paralyzes another man you would think he would show some kind of remorse.

I tend to agree with you that he should have, at the very least, visited Stingley. There are more important things than sports, and there is nothing wrong with apologizing for an accident.

Nonetheless, RIP Mr. Tatum.

“I’m not going to beg forgiveness,” Tatum said. “That’s what people say: You never apologized. I didn’t apologize for the play. That was football. I was sorry that he got hurt. But to go out and apologize for the way I played football? That is never going to happen.
“I never did anything wrong. I apologized for the result. It was portrayed that I did something wrong — by the NFL, by papers - because that’s what they were fed. Even today, people still think I’m a bad guy.
“My only question is this: What did I do wrong?”

Jack Tatum still has never spoken to Darryl Stingley.
Tatum insists he tried years ago.
Stingley says Tatum never did.


“I made some attempts but it seems people around Darryl thwarted that,” Tatum said. “It’ll happen when it’s meant to happen. You can’t keep banging your head against the wall.”

Quote:
“He’s the most kindhearted man I’ve ever known, the absolute best dad on the planet,” Denise said. “It’s hurtful to hear what people say about [Jack] and [Stingley]. He did hurt over it. He did. He tried to reach out and do the right thing, but he was turned away. It was an accident, what happened. But he didn’t do anything wrong.
“Apologize?” She stopped for a second and took a deep breath. The 25th anniversary is on the way, the story of Jack Tatum and Darryl Stingley starting all over again.
Finally, she said, “My husband is never going to apologize.”
