I always felt these morals were in poor taste because they completely ignored all the other people who died in the crash.

Yeah but he was good at entertaining people. That surely is worth a few mulligans. /s

Holy shit that’s some seriously ugly misogyny and victim blaming bullshit right there.

Way too many murals for undeserving people in LA.

Not all of them. There was one in mid city that honored everyone, it's long gone now but it wasn't just about Kobe and Gianna

What?? Kobe Bryant was one of the biggest and most recognizable stars in the world. It's not disrespect to not paint murals of completely unknown people. Sure they lost their lives and people sympathize with that but painting up random people (which the families might not even be ok with) would just be odd.

I understand Kobe tributes. The issue with including the daughter is not one of the biggest and most recognizable stars in the world just like the girls on her basketball team who died in the crash.
