[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4347553, member: 77695"] Sorry about the attitude but not everyone is or was a Kobe fan. Not everyone has interest in or was interested in some people who play sports for a yearly check that most hard working people will never make in a lifetime. Consider the lowly EMS employee in our area that saves lives on a weekly basis and keeps on working the graveyard shift...without recognition...and without even being known to most of our county's populace. Those are our heroes. Their death acknowledgment would be sparce even if they were killed on the job. Yeah, I'm sure some of the superstar athletes probably give a mountain of cash to causes but the percentage of gift to income is not equivalent to the people who put [I]everything[/I] on the line to save and change lives. I have nothing against Kobe and his family and the loss of life in any capacity is heartfelt to most, but this publicity shows how messed up many Americans are in priorities. Throwing a ball through a hoop isnt ar the top of my list. Just my opinon. [/QUOTE]
