Kobe Bryant Tragedy comes on Heels of LeBron Overtaking Him for Career Points…

The phone rang Sunday afternoon, and therefore the voice on the opposite end asked if I’d heard about Kobe Bryant? Oh, you mean about LeBron James passing him for third All-time NBA Career Points Scored? No, the Helicopter he was on together with his Daughter and a number of other others crashed in California and Killed everyone Aboard! To which I had not heard of before this inquiry.

As I’d listened to the News late the night before via my NFB Newsline for The Blind telephone company and therefore the Reuters section informing me that LeBron had just surpassed Kobe during a losing effort vs. the Philadelphia 76ers the night before Kobe’s Death. And even more ironically was hearing Kobe’s Tweeet Congratulating King James on surpassing him…

Thus, i made a decision to “Tune In” to Sean T. Pendergast’s “Stick ‘N Ball” Radio chat show on CBS Sports, which precedes my usual Sunday Night Radio Programme, The Speed Freaks, a Motorsports Show I prefer over the Ad Nausea Pro Sports Babble, to ascertain what the Sports World was saying about Bryant’s Death?As Messer Pendergast’s comments made me consider many tangents regarding life generally and therefore the effects that the Media has upon how we interpret the roles of Celebrities and the way they impact our lives.

As Sean poignantly noted he gets it regarding how monumental of a Star and Sports Personality Kobe was, noting he makes his living by discussing Sports weekly and features a vested interest in how Superstars bring such raw emotions in people, ultimately as Entertainers who enable us to flee reality for brief periods of your time .

Sean also noted how the Media had done a reasonably Piss Poor Job on reporting the tragedy accurately, making me consider ‘Ol Don Henley’s line ’bout “Get the Widow on the Set, the Bubble Headed Bleached Blonde can tell Yuhs ’bout the Plane Crash with a Gleam in Her eye, as All the Boys within the Newsroom got a Running Bet,” or Somme-thun’ on the brink of that ’bout how easily we’re manipulated by the media, using tragedy to tug upon our emotional Heartstrings…

Now am I saying that Kobe, his daughter’s or the opposite seven Helicopter occupants Deaths aren’t tragic? Absolutely Not! But the Caller I enjoyed most on Pendergast’s chat show was the one that reminded us that there have been seven people onboard whom also perished which we shouldn’t overlook their Deaths which are horrible for his or her respective families.

Later that evening, Crash Gladys of Speed Freaks acknowledged how Kobe shouldn’t be Judged over his Affair he had, that his wife Vanessa stuck by his side, although I tend to recall there was a $4 million dollar “Make-up” Diamond ring involved…

As Crash rightly acknowledged that Nobody’s perfect, and unless you're , then Kobe’s life achievements shouldn’t be simply judged upon that lone incident.

Yet on the Flip-side, as i assumed Thar was Somme-thun’ called Freedom of Speech in Americre” Which made me disturbed over the very fact that a Female Washington Post Reporter was suspended, being placed on Administrative Leave upon having the audacity to Tweet a link to a 2016 story regarding Kobe’s past Alleged Sexual Misconduct. Since it had been putting the Newspaper during a Bad light; OMG!
