Because honestly, with all the media coverage, that’s what it feels like.
He was great at playing a game, and from what I can tell with a single exception “we know about” a good father and husband, but he wasn’t a hero worthy of what my perception is.

Exactly. Mourn for the family and friends who lost someone they love. Remember what a great athlete he was but dying doesn't make him a hero. He didn't do something noble like putting his life on the line to protect his country or save someone from a burning building. I bet he even did some good things in life. So do millions of people.
He was paid for a skill he possessed. That doesn't make him bad because he cashed in but he is NOT a hero. He was a sports celebrity.
