Sports Media for exploiting the death of Wade Belak
I understand that everyone wants answers as to what happened and if it can be prevented in the future. The problem is that the sports media personalities are so concerned about getting the answers to the questions that they want to know that they are forgetting some major things.
They're forgetting that Wade was a son, a husband, a friend, and a father. They are forgetting that he was a human being and is not a science experiment or example. No sensitivity has been shown and false reports are coming out hourly. I hope that none of them have to endure the media hell that Wade's family has had to endure since his passing. The media should not be hovering around, trying to get pictures of the body, and slandering Wade's name.
The sport of hockey is a family and right now we should be rallying around the Belak family. We should be supporting the families of the fallen players. We should not be treating them as spectacles. They are grieving and the media should respect that and take a step back.
