He’s from Gainesville and has had a connection with the town throughout his career. 88K people joined together and sang “won’t back down” after this death in a cool tribute 4 years ago. It’s not our fault ESPN won’t stop talking about it

I guess it was more how ESPN presented it, as if it was a 20 year old tradition. The cooler story is as you said above, that they did a tribute to him after his death and the tradition stuck around.
