With the news that former NFL star Junior Seau died this morning, the sports world reacted first with shock, followed by displays of support.
We’ve included a few of the many soccer players who tweeted about the news, including futbol player at heart Chad Ochocinco.
Included in his legacy, Seau has a La Mesa, CA, sports complex in his name that hosts soccer events and tournaments.
He was 43.
Thoughts and prayers go out to Junior Seau family. For me he is the best line backer ever in NFL #manuialoumalaga twitter.com/Tim_Cahill/sta…

RIP Junior Seau. Shame he won’t see himself inducted to the Hall of Fame. I’ll Always remember the way he was on Sundays. #HeartonhisSleeve — Chad Barrett (@CBarrett19) May 2, 2012
