Even overpaid, under-educated punks like Kobe Bryant who play a child's game for a living are not worth the time it takes to "hate" them. Nor are they worthy of anybody's adoration.

I fall in that category in between who recognizes that entertainers are rarely the people their fans believe them to be. Real heroes in the world of sports like Pat Tillman are few and far between.

Kobe has a Masters in English. I know you don't like him for some reason, but his accomplishments speak for themselves.
I agree, Tillman is a true American hero.
