I understand what it is to be a fan of an athlete who passes away. I understand what it is to lose a co-worker/friend. I also understand what it is to lose a close family member. I understand there is a huge difference in the impact of each of these events, and I just can't bring myself to pretend otherwise.
I cannot understand why "family" is now such a flexible word that it can apply to sportsclubs and fans without anyone recognizing the hyperbole.
