This post is completely out of touch. You could walk out your door tomorrow and get hit by a car. You could watch what you eat, be considered healthy by your doctor, as well as look healthy. But drop dead at 20. Accidents happen, tragedies happen. This is both of those. But to have a take like this is out of bounds.
Exactly! I have empathy for his wife, his kids and the others on the plane and the friends and families of everyone else. Dude raped a teenager. There are plenty of other everyday people who's tragic life situations affect me deeply. Not that guy. STOMP
I respectfully disagree. I didn't care for him (although had tremendous respect for his game), but above all he was a competitor. That dickishness--if you will--is one of the reasons he was so great and so disliked by opposing fanbases. I think he would have liked that games were played today and touched about the "24 sec/8 sec" tributes.
Hey, I'm not saying it's Kobe's fault, I'm just saying that's how I'd feel. Once you have children they matter more than anyone, even your spouse. Also, respectfully, you don't get to tell me what's "out of bounds". Maybe if Kobe didn't have a rich man's toy he and 9 others would be alive today.
There's something to this. It's especially cruel that his mentorship of his daughter meant she was in the helicopter too.
I'm glad that it wasn't accessible to the public as photos would be leaked like Paul Walker's gruesome scene was.
It was wrong for the NFL to play after President Kennedy was assassinated. It is right for NBA to play today. I know when someone dies people like to guess what they would want, but basketball was Bryant's life, he would want it to continue. I also think it's healing for the players to be together on this day.
