From today's (6/16/2011) Daily Press:
Plaxico Burress' decision to become a face for anti-gun violence is a move that should be applauded by all of us and imitated by other high-profile athletes.
Burress, the NFL wide receiver who starred at Chesapeake's Green Run High School, announced on Monday that he will speak to and mentor youth on gun violence in a partnership with the National Urban League and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. Burress recently served 20 months in prison after accidentally shooting himself in a New York night club when an improperly registered pistol slipped and fired.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg decided to make an example out of Burress, who had been a recently anointed Super Bowl hero for the New York Giants.
Burress, taking the high road, is turning his misfortune into a teachable moment.
