Using your theory here, I'm going to illustrate a scenario. Let's pick a rich, and famous person, for example, Derek Jeter. Let's say he dies the same way, just for the sake of argument. The youth of our nation has role models to succeed and set goals in what they do best, and if your gonna say the same thing, that you dont understand why anybody gets worked up about someone being rich or famous getting killed, you are a ****ing idiot. Of course a million+ kids who look up to him as a role model would be saddened no matter how he died. If he did a Chris Benoit, sure maybe some adults with common sense wont feel a sense of remorse, but the kids who look up to him as a great baseball player and not as a normal human being will think otherwise. Same thing goes for Dale Earnhart, but we will throw in some adults into the mix.
Some young fighters idolize this guy because he co-founded one of the largest fighting companies. It doesn't hurt for someone who idolizes the sport to feel remorseful about this.
