Is this reporting or crossing the line?

Almost every week day at 5:30am I turn the coffee pot on, feed my dogs and log on to my laptop where I have yahoo.com as my home page. I usually scan the headlines making sure that nobody has blown anybody up over night and I read their sports articles while I enjoy my java. Today there is a story about Blake Griffin. Blake Griffin for those who don't know is a one man wrecking crew for the Los Angeles Clippers. He was an all american at Oklahoma and drafted #1 in the 2009. He was MVP in the rookie league that year but a stress fracture sidelined him for the regular NBA season. This year he is putting on nightly dunking clinics across the NBA. He is predicted to win the dunk contest all star weekend and he will walk away with the rookie of the year award. There are plenty of things a sports writer could write about Blake Griffin who is a model citizen but Kelly Dwyer of yahoo sports couldn't find anything better to write about Griffin than The National Observer could have if they had a reporter in the locker room. Griffin had just taken a call and found out a good friend from back home had passed. Griffin sat head in his hands crying moments after a win over the Timberwolves. About that time the reporters were let in. It's my opinion that if a reporter sees a player in this kind of distress they should give him a little space and find something else to write about besides his tragedy. There are plenty of sports to write about Kelly Dwyer. Is it really necessary to let the world no Blake Griffin was crying in the locker room after the game due to the loss of a friend or should that be a private moment?
