I like the idea of retiring #49. I like that this number is retired before Dwights number, hahahaha.

Nice gesture by the Orlando Magic organization. Thanks to the fast break pass I'll be there that night.

So the number 49 wont be allowed to wear by any player?

They aren't retiring the number.

I think this is meaningless. donating the income of the first game to the suffering families would be something. but this dedicating, honoring thing that corporations do looks like low-cost branding effort to me most of the time. guess I'm a cynic in this regard.

Yeah, I get where your coming from, but it's still a nice gesture. I mean the Devos family isn't the gay communities best friend, so I don't really mind this.

They have as much right to disagree with a lifestyle as the people have in partaking in them. This has to do with human life and paying respect to the people that died. Its bigger than personal beliefs.

I agree with you, but cynicism or not, it is pretty much obligatory.

I didn't place a value judgement on their belief system, I merely pointed it out.
