Rip Kobe Bryant

[Problem2]

One of the saddest days in the history of sport

Only other time I felt like this was when Sean Taylor died

What exactly does one have to do with the other?

Absolutely. I didn't hear that but RIP to an American hero.

Not even newsworthy, that's how sad our society has become. Most Americans have no idea about where and what our soldiers are doing out there. Most excited they become is about a century old story in the theatres.

I'm not saying that sports figures aren't newsworthy, celebs in general, but the lack of coverage given to troops is beyond sad. People don't seem to care about that, just what's going on with the dumbass Kardashian's, Real Housewives, etc.

All death is tragic. Wish they would put news on our troops and maybe people would wake up by demanding they come home.

how about the little African boy who just died of malnourishment?

Whats your point?

People are upset over kobe and not some random soldier because people grew up with kobe, connected with kobe on a sports side

Doesn't make someone else's death any less meaningless but someone dying who you grew up with watching resonates more

Perfectly said.

Saw Kobe play at Lower Merion HS here in the burbs and lead them to the PA State Championship.

Completely unstoppable and totally dominant. Scored at will

Anyone with any sense that he would be a great HOF type NBA star

RIP Kobe....You were awesome

But American media is inundated with troop worship. Every major sporting event is soaked in it as well.

Probably part of the reason people can be so apathetic about it because all the "celebration of the troops" is just lip service.
