I think you're misunderstanding the general sentiment of the OP and others.

it's also kind of fricked up to feel so bad over Kobe and his daughter, and yet seem to not give a whit about the other 7 people who died in the very same event.

I don't think that most people "don't care" about the other victims of the crash. I think that most people just didn't know the others and had no personal connection with them.

It's the same kind of carnage that happens all over America every day. Usually it involves automobiles instead of helicopters....

This is a true statement, but, again, if there's no personal connection with the victim, then most people just see it as a sad part of life.

quote:

I just don't see how people take it personally.

From this, I can only conclude that you are no a fan of the NBA or basketball in general or the Olympics for that matter.
