About sport icons of this time and age. It's enough they get shitloads of money for their work and dedication, they also get admiration when they are on their peak. Do we really need to like them through their whole existence on this earth?
Pioneers were the real deal, they played sports mainly because admiration of fans and love for the sport. These new guys and Schumacher goes into that category, got more than they deserve imho. Can't feel for them, sorry.
Jordan, Schumacher, Michael Jackson (he's dead) and the likes. I don't really care if they die, they had their moment, earned money and when they die, they should die like ordinary men.
Besides if you're Christian (some of you probably are), you should not worship idols and that includes both sport icons and celebrities.
How many people were feeling for Alex Zanardi when he lost both legs in horrible accident? Probably much, much less than those who are sad because of Schumacher. It's all about fame and money, the more money you earn, more people respect and like you. Well, I'm not like that.
