It's hard to believe it's already been two years since Bryan Pata, a former football player of the Miami Hurricanes, was murdered. It's even harder to understand why authorities have done basically nothing to investigate who killed Pata and why.
In case anyone has forgotten about this tragedy, ESPN recently commemorated Pata's death in a special television feature on Outside the Lines, which explores sports-related stories. Here is a small clip of an interview with Pata's mother and brother that was featured in this special.
On its website, ESPN also featured an excellent piece by Elizabeth Merrill remembering Pata. Not only is it a well written story, it also has very touching photographs. You should check it out.
I really appreciate just how sympathetically ESPN treated this story. In the past, the media has only trashed the University of Miami's football program, so I'm glad ESPN chose not to.
