how about a drunken speedboat accident where your player is decapitated... you could even milk that one with a line about his grieving wife and emotionally scarred children!!!
ohh... and then your star outfield can pull a Kirby Puckett and try to stangle his wife with an extension cord!
Please OOTP... I need more immersion... The sweet sweet mana of immersion... make me forget that I'm essentially lording over spreadsheets...
*yawn*

You are blowing this out of proportion. No one is asking for gang rapes and decapitations. There's a difference between incidents that are, for all intents and purposes, give or take, once in a century incidents (rapes, or a major league player being killed/murdering someone/committing suicide) and things that seem to happen every season or once every few seasons (a child passing, DUIs, LONG drug suspensions, racial tirades). It's a quite obviously a sensitive topic as evidenced by the responses here, and I can respect both views. For some people though, these things DO increase realism or immersion. There's no need to be snarky about it (not to say others aren't being snarky about it, but, let's be honest here, yours is over the top and directed at people like me), it's just the way others play and enjoy the game.
