YouTube- Olympic Athlete Dies in Training
I couldn't see the video for some reason, so I had to find it on youtube. This is a news report.
Who the **** voted that showing this crap is alright???
The fact that at this point in the poll 5 people think its perfectly ok to show this is an indication that our society is sick. People have become desensitized to the point where they no longer have any basic decency.
I've seen lots of news footage of people being shot by the cops, people jumping out of buildings, people getting hit by cars... I think the decency ship has sailed.
I did, why not? Why shouldn't it be shown? What's the negative aspect of it being shown? If you don't want to see it don't watch it. In my opinion, this athlete gave permission to the press to video tape his practice runs by particpating in the olmypics and I think the press has a right to report what they shot.
So they have a right to show him die? No, they do not, and I'm sure the family of the athlete would prefer that the video not be shown on news.
So you're saying the press doesn't have a right to show what they shot?
I'm saying they should respect the privacy of the family, considering the events that took place.

I guess the difference here is I believe the media has the right to show it but you think they shouldn't show it based on moral grounds?
If yo'd rather have the family of the athlete sue NBC to stop showing the video, and demand compensation for this potential exploitation...
Quite often, moral and legal grounds are the same. In this case, I believe them to be the same.
What grounds would the family sue NBC on?
Depending on how they want to go about it, they could file a tort-based lawsuit. Permitted that the tort lawsuit is based upon injury, it could be argued that the injury to the family was emotional.
The family could also argue that their family member's death was exploited by NBC for financial gain, and they did not receive any compensation for the gain.
I'm not a lawyer, but if I can scrounge up two possibilities in five minutes, I'm sure an actual lawyer could establish the foundations for a class-action lawsuit in a few months.
