A YOUNG boy with a rare form of cancer, who just happens to be the Sunderland FC mascot, who just happens to have struck up a mutual love affair with ex-Sunderland player Jermain Defoe, died, and I was at a loss to understand all the coverage and the effect that the whole affair had on the entire world.
For goodness sake, people, get a grasp on reality and realise that the death of one young boy should not hold the monopoly on virtue.
Name supplied, Co Durham
