Okay, congrats on your balanced and patently obvious take. I don't worship Kobe. I've said this multiple times already, but it's still a tragic event and there's nothing wrong with being bothered by it. There are times to be emotional and there are times to be logical. The aftermath of a tragedy is a time to be emotional. There is plenty of time for logic later.

Funny how we couldn't have this discussion when he retired either because we were emotional as well. Then when he's clearly out of the public eye, no one wants to hear about it because nobody cares. And now that he's gone, it's once again we can't talk about it because we're all emotional. And I guarantee you if we try to talk about it later we'll get "why are you speaking ill of the dead" like that Michael Jackson documentary 10 years after his death.

The reality is that will never be a satisfactory time because people love him so much and the case was so rapidly swept under the rug. People didn't want to talk about it while he was still alive and they sure as hell will do everything to avoid it while he's dead.
