Thanks for holding the moral high ground for humanity Skitch.

Gladly. Be thrilled to see you in the next cancel thread with a pitchfork over allegations

Super stoked for you Skitch that you've figured it all out. Congrats. I hope you rest easy in your superior knowledge of and ability to predict human behavior.

It’s a weird, confusing thing to admire someone for what their work has meant to you and culture, and also despise for them for horrible things they’ve done. It’s a very difficult kind of cognitive dissonance. I get the impulse to mourn affectionately and also the impulse to be repulsed by others doing that, especially when that mourning takes on a tone of hero worship. It’s a shitty situation from all sides.

My wife sent me a tweet that has since been deleted that said: "Kobe Bryant finally punished for traveling."

None of us are ten years old. The hero worship isn't a thing. This is just an incredibly sad event that feels extra personal due to this guy being in our living rooms 82 nights a year plus postseason for 20 years. The fact that people need to come in here less than 12 hours after someone died in a firey explosion with their 13 year old in a sad attempt to act all woke or something is a lot grosser than any relitigation of a man's mistake from 2003 you could do.

Mayhaps the mods will soon lock the NBA thread in Kobe's memory.

I'm only locking the NBA thread if I have to hear verb talk about another DRose game winner

He sent the Nets game to OT last night and I never said a word.

He's also on the longest 20 point streak of his career. Raul Neto better not get too comfortable in the backup PG spot for the Sixers.

The guy was an icon. The same thing happened when Chris Cornell died and many of us felt so much sorrow. It's not deifying . I thinks it's genuine.

What is NOT is what skitch is doing.

Probably not. Just gross.

I never said it wasn’t genuine? Not sure what point you’re making, exactly.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you meant.

It sounded like you were being more or less critical of mourning a celebrity, but now I see you were also understanding it, so nevermind
