Junior Seau’s Family Will Not Speak At Hall Of Fame Induction

Junior Seau's daughter will be commenting only on
a video when her late father enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame
on Aug. 8.

Citing previous policies on posthumous inductions, the Hall is
limiting Sydney Seau's comments to a video presentation about the
former linebacker who committed suicide in 2012. Seau is one of
seven men being inducted this year.

In a statement from Hall executive vice president Joe Horrigan, a
2010 policy was referenced Friday.

''The policy of the Pro Football Hall of Fame since 2010 regarding
individuals enshrined posthumously provides for an expanded
presenting video (longer than the videos of living inductees)
followed by the traditional unveiling of the bronzed bust and no
additional comments made from the podium,'' Horrigan said.

The 2011 induction used such a format when former Los Angeles Rams
star Les Richter was inducted posthumously.  (Associated Press)
