Lots of people die tragically in accidents every day. That’s the way of the world. The vast majority of them are people I never knew, and will never hear about.
I’m sorry for Kobe and his family, but why should I be any sorrier for his family than any other family in the world who suffers a tragic loss?
Does Kobe deserve special treatment because he was a sports star, or a celebrity, or because he was rich?
My life hasn’t been any better because of Kobe being alive, and it won’t be any worse from his passing.
Three other people died in the same helicopter crash.
