#tellusatoday: Right to have played NFL game?

We asked our followers on Twitter whether the NFL should have postponed Sunday's game after news of the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide. Comments have been edited for clarity and grammar:

Game should have been postponed. Air it alone on national TV; plan game to increase domestic violence awareness.

-- @PlumbbobGreen

As sad as this is, it's not the NFL's function to publicize domestic violence. That reeks of opportunism.

-- @Hplage44

What happened was a tragedy, but as a business or/and as a show, the game has to be played.

-- @carlosjime

The decision to play was a monetary one, I'm sure. It was very, very wrong. End the culture of violence in the NFL.
