Veteran sports media personality Skip Bayless is getting torched for his take on the tragic mass shooting earlier this week that was carried out in New York City by Shane Devon Tamura, which resulted in the deaths of four innocent people.
According to reports, Tamura’s intended target was the NFL offices that are located on at 345 Park Avenue in Park Avenue.
Once he got wind of this fact, Bayless “thanked god” that the gunman took the wrong elevator, leading him away from the NFL offices.
Skip Bayless dragged for his take about the shooting at the NFL Offices building in Manhattan “Thank God the New York City shooter apparently took the wrong bank of elevators and didn’t make it to the NFL floors. He reportedly bizarrely blamed the NFL for what he believed to be his CTE suffered from playing high-school football,” Bayless wrote on Twitter.
Bayless’ tweet immediately went viral as it — whether intentionally or not — implies that what ultimately happened with Tamura was an outcome worthy of praising god for, inherently minimizing the deaths of the victims.
“Bro said Thank God other ppl died,” reads the top reply to Bayless’ tweet.
“’Thank God he killed someone else’ is basically what you’re saying,” another added.
“Truly the all time best rage baiter in history. Even puts goliaths of always being wrong like Whitlock to shame. Just an all time stone cold moron or a sociopath with no empathy and thus a brilliant calculating mind for creating misery and and anger. Not sure which one is worse,” a third summarized.

On Monday, July 28, the 27‑year‑old Tamura, who drove from Las Vegas to New York City entered the lobby of 345 Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan — which houses the NFL headquarters, alongside other major firms such as Blackstone and KPMG.
Wearing body armor and carrying a M4-style rifle, Tamura shot off‑duty NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was working security, and killed three other civilians in the lobby.
He then took the elevator to the 33rd floor, occupied by Rudin Management, where he killed one more individual before fatally shooting himself. A fifth victim, an NFL employee, was critically wounded and remains hospitalized.
In his suicide note, Tamura — who had a documented mental health history, including two mental health crisis holds during his time in Nevada — asked that his brain be studied as he believed he was suffering from CTE, a traumatic injury that has become closely associated with the NFL.
**“He did have a note on him. The note alluded to that he felt he had CTE, a known brain injury for those who participate in contact sports....
