I’m so confused...

Did Kobe like peanuts? Or have anything to do with planters or Mr. Peanut?

This is like trying to connect John Lennon getting shot to T-Shirts made of linen being shot out of cannons.

Aren't peanuts like watermelon and fried chicken? The entire Planters campaign has been revealed to be racist or worse.

I can understand where they are coming from.

Since they will not be using Mr. Peanut, they have "killed him off" so they were going to do a funeral or whatever for Mr. Peanut, a fictional character.. During the SB.

They thought it wouldn't be in good taste since a sports icon and international figure along with 8 other people (which included children) died in a helicopter crash a week earlier.

It shouldn't be that confusing.
