Warren Moon was ready to let Cam Ward wear his n ° 1 retired. Lawrence Taylor will not be as generous.
Even if the new Giants Pass Rusher Abdul Carter clearly indicated at night He would like to wear n ° 56Taylor will not allow it.
Taylor had this to say on the subject, via Steve Serby of New York Post: “I know he would love to wear this number. But, hey, I think it’s retired. Get another number. I don’t care if it’s double zero, then make it famous. »»
It should therefore end it. The number is removed. The man for whom he was retired does not want him to be retired.
This is how it should be. Removing a number does not mean putting it aside until a new star player asks if he can wear it. He is retired.
Any team who does not like it should not retire.
