Kobe 'hater-ade'

Two people were in that room; they both agree to the essential fact of penetration of an orifice without consent.
But yeah, you know more than them. I'm convinced.

 

To the other point, because the case didn't go to trial, I don't think it's fair to call him a rapist any more than it's fair to call her a slutbag whore.
I'd like to think they both learned terrible lessons and are no longer the people they were in the room that night.

 

I buy Kobe's "confession" about as much as I buy her accusation. You don't think maybe his lawyers came to him and said "Hey dude, look. She's willing to settle. All you have to do is sign a statement that she approves of and this is all over. Give it a couple of years and you're back on top of the NBA. Fight this, have a jury of your so-called-peers decide your future and who knows what will happen."

I'd have signed that, too, even if I was innocent, because who knows how a jury trial might end up. Just get that shit over with.

 

Men like you are why I wish I was a lesbian, then I wouldn't have to deal with you and your kind's bullshit idiotic views on women and when sex is and isn't consensual.

 

Agreed 100 percent. It was an ugly situation all the way around. Unfortunately, I doubt either have gained any emotional maturity from it. I'm quite positive Bryant probably still cheats on his wife (he's a world famous pro athlete ... not exactly going out on a limb there). And reports on the accuser in the months following the whole mess indicate her life was spiraling downard.

Sad all the way around.

 

dear vanessa,

you'll thank me in the morning ...

 

I'm not even going to get into a debate with you because you've proven you can be irrational when it comes to defending women from so-called sexist attacks from the men on this board. Not everything is sexist.

 

Which Vanessa?

 

I'm still highly entertained how Kobe has become such a team player less than a year after demanding a trade for an entire summer.

He's like Paul Pierce to the 10th power.

 

did pierce rape some girl in a midwest state?

 

I was strictly referring to the cry-my-entire-career-then-get-happy-when-my-team-does-well aspect.

I don't think The Mamba's incident was in a Midwest state, though.

 

My vote: Shitbag Rapist.
