Part of the job is to forget you live in central Missouri.

OK, imma be totally honest here. I laughed a little bit. I know that makes me a terrible person, but I giggled.

As having my Grandfather pass away from Alzheimer's, to see ANYONE make fun of this horrible disease is heartbreaking! This is the most horrible disease anyone can face, and I sympathize with any family having to go through it! It is sad that we, as a society, can only seem to find joy in the misfortune of others! It was flat out wrong for them to poke fun of Pat, and wrong for anyone to see the humor in it! Yes, I may be taking this a bit personal, but I stand behind my view of the situation!

Anyone who makes fun of Pat should be kicked in the dick and upon trying to get back up kicked in the dick again.

No go ahead, I'm ashamed but I'm not gonna lie and say my first reaction was outrage. I found it funny. Still, I feel bad about finding it funny. If I can't be honest with you guys then who can I be honest with?

does not make you a terrible person.It makes you a POS to be honest.To laugh at someone or their health problems they might have is pathetic.

Fair enough. Just being honest though. I guarantee there is more than one person who saw it and laughed a little. They are just smart enough not to post that they did. So why did I, I wonder? Probably because I know it was wrong of me to chuckle so I put myself out there for a little ridicule.

If it makes you feel better to say that, whatever. Good for you.

But Pat Summitt deserves more respect than that.

I lost my grandfather as well, and while he passed away from something else, he suffered Alzheimers in his final years and it was devastating for my family.

Then why say it? You don't see the disrespect?

Dan (can I call you Dan?), I understand we all find humor in tasteless comments sometimes. And we all find humor or laugh at inappropriate things at inappropriate times.

But we are talking about one of the greatest coaches in the history of college athletics. And she's ours. She is Pat Summitt. And it's not okay to laugh or make light of her illness.

Sometimes honesty isn't the best policy but you seem decent...I don't think God would someone like you to Hades...on subject Pat Summitt is right there with the General on Tennessee's Mt Rushmore...not below...right there!

I have no idea what anyone is talking about. Is there a real link to see what the fuss is about.

Nonsense. "Making light" of an illness is perfectly natural and frequently occurs among those who must deal with its effects on family or friends. For someone simply to find humor in it isn't wrong -- especially when they're conscious of the gravity and seriousness of the condition.

To admit to partaking in finding humor at inappropriate things and then scold somebody else for doing it is hypocritical.
