THIS!
I am just catching up on this thread and have seen people demanding to know how the crash happened before they knew who died. Natural to want to know as soon as you hear bad news, but it's not necessary to always look to bash somebody for what they did or didn't do.
Someone is upset that ESPN continued to show a game being played as scheduled, as though they should just dump that. Someone on Twitter suggests all NBA - and College! Duh! - games should be cancelled ALL WEEK.
Meanwhile, some celebs are smart enough to wait for actual facts before rushing to tweet their reactions.

Jesus, let it go. They are airing an event tehy are contractually bound to air. They broke in and reported the news and will do so endlessly after the game. Have you considered switching to ESPN News, perhaps?
ESPN stopping to report on it won't change anything.

They dumped a womens college basketball game on ESPN2 to ESPNews go to 24 hour coverage.
Then they put up an alert on all channels telling you they had full coverage on espn2.

Isn't there like a billion channels. If you really need to hear the TV tell you he's dead, then change the fucking channel. Jesus.
It's horrible he passed, and far worse his kid as well, but the world does move on. This game can't stop, hence they are required to show it.

I see what you're saying, BUT, Kobe was the biggest star in a post-MJ/Magic/Bird NBA. Seems as thought they could at least split screen.

Very sad day.
Kobe's daughter Gianna was on board, along with one of her teammates and another parent, going to an away game.
There were 9 people on board, including the pilot.
RIP Kobe.

Of those who watched it live, who didn't jump out of their seat when that happened?

The only other time I thought this has to be fake and immediately went to check was the untimely passing of Steve Irwin.
WOW!

Sure hope his wife has a very good support group around her. She has to go on raising 3 daughters after the death of her husband and 13 year old daughter. I can imagine the will to live is none existent right now for her. Rest in Peace Kobe and daughter. He had so much more to give and he's gone in a snap. Life is the cruelest thing imaginable sometimes.

This is just awful. Goes to show you just how precious life is. Thoughts and prayers to all family/friends of those who passed.
