Sad sad day in the NBA, Kobe Bryant and his 13 year old daughter died in a helicopter crash.

So I checked around at the other sports sites, and they ALL covered it. NBA of course, but the NHL, MLB and NFL all had articles and many teams' twitter feeds expressed their condolences. What I thought was most touching was the Toronto Raptors V San Antonio Spurs game. Each team took a 24 second violation at the start of the game in tribute/remembrance of Kobe (number 24). I'm sure the Lakers will have something for their next game (Tuesday) as well.

Lakers WIN as they beat the Clippers. They will meet again in the playoffs.

I’m glad sports is back on TV and I’m currently watching the Blazers vs Celtics NBA basketball game on ABC, however, without the fans in attendance is making it not as appealing as before.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to be able to watch live sports, but I want the feel the entire experience.

Same here and ESPN has become important again.

Sorry, but I done with pro sports, no fans, what’s the point. I concerned what’s going to happen long term with no revenue coming from gate receipts??

How about those folks who invested in restaurants, parking lots and such who depend on those fans for their livelihood and are left on the outside looking in??
