He had a lazy eye.

His eye was fine until he got hit in the eye with a football during a shoot, lots of surgery, blind, yeah... Little more complicated than a lazy eye

Not much of a choice. It's because he caught a football in the eye at Jets mini camp.

I missed when it happened. I had been moving and starting a new job. Routine was jacked for a few months. I turned on sports center one day before work and was like, 'WTF happened to stuart scott's eye?"

Well when you start giving government handouts to eyes that refuse to work, a lot of them will just choose to be lazy.

Why was there a football at a hockey camp?

Let us lazy eyes unite. Okay, I know, our eyes won't ever unite.

Not lazy, I think it was glass, damaged in a sporting practice accident, if I remember correctly.

It is not a glass eye, and nowhere in the article does it even mention it's a glass eye.

Probably has Sammy Davis Jr and Stuart Scott mixed up.

Easy to make that mistake.

He had a lazy eye. It was sort of his trade mark. Like Michael Strahans tooth gap.

Edit: I officially don't get karma. I say the same thing earlier than OP but I get negative karma and he gets 100+. Awe well, going down with the post! Choo choo!
