Kobe is dead. The world is still spinning. Get over it.

You would think he was the Lord High God or something the way the idiots on TV keep going on about him.

Kobe? Isn't that some kind of beef from Japan?

I thought he was thought of as a sexual predator or something along those lines in the dim past.

So, how did he get socially rehabilitated into some sort of demi-god?

People are just too Anal about sports figures.

It’s obvious his impact was broad just not in this group.

 

[oldag]

Who?

 

[txgrant]

He definitely wasn't the saint he's now being portrayed as.

I know little about him. I refuse to contribute to the status and over-inflated egos of overpaid gladiators or the Hollywood elite.
My other half loves to watch Entertainment Tonight and Extra. I go for a walk in the woods or sit on the porch til it's over. Then she wants to tell me about Miranda, Blake, Gwen or the British elite. You'd think she would know better because my response is always the same : "I don't give a hoot!"

Was he convicted of rape? I guess I need to pay attention. I wasn’t aware of that.

This looks like a far cry from a conviction.

Bryant admitted to a sexual encounter with his accuser but insisted the sex was consensual. The case was dropped after Bryant's accuser refused to testify in the case. A separate civil suit was later filed against Bryant by the woman. This was settled out of court and included Bryant publicly apologizing to his accuser, the public, and family, while denying the allegations.

Sounds like to me he forked out some money and she STFU. That’s a far cry from a conviction for rape. Not that I give 2 shits but in my view she got what she wanted all along.

Y’all just carry on. I’m done.
