The family of Junior Seau reiterated its stance Monday that his daughter, Sydney, should speak live and in her own words at her father’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame next month.
“Contrary to the most recent statement by the Hall of Fame, the family does not support the current policy that prevents family members from delivering live remarks on behalf of deceased inductees,” Steve Strauss, the lawyer for the Seau family, said in a statement.
Last week, the family said it had been blindsided by the Hall of Fame’s decision to show only a video of Seau at his enshrinement ceremony Aug.
