You’re letting your cynicism obscure the point. It’s not that a “football star” was killed. It’s that this was a minor traffic accident, and because the person who was responsible for it had a gun with him he shot and killed the person he rear-ended. It doesn’t matter who the person he killed was. Everyone’s life is important and not to be thrown away lightly. But as long as people think that a gun is the solution to all their problems, senseless killings like this will continue.
I’m sorry you think this is about football players.
