Hall of Fame won't allow Junior Seau's family to speak at induction

Posted Jul 24, 2015
Before he died, Junior Seau told his family that if he was ever inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, he wanted his daughter Sydney to give his induction speech. However, as of right now, it doesn't look like that's going to happen. A spokesman for the Hall of Fame told the New York Times that Sydney won't be allowed to speak due to a recent policy change. Under the new policy, deceased inductees are introduced with a video that's put together by NFL Network. (CBS Sports)
