Question. Why did Kobe get a pass on dating Vanessa when she was 17 and he was 21? Age of consent in Cali is 18, they got engaged when she was still in high school and 17, married when she was 18. In fact, Kobe's parents didn't go to the wedding, and that was part of the reason.
Not trying to trash the man, later in life he turned into a very, very good person and very pro women, but the beginning for him was rough.
Couldn't tell you if I know the difference in taste. With that being said, Miracle Whip. Real mayo's color looks like Miracle Whip that's been sitting out for 3 days.My real question is mayo or Miracle Whip, because that answer alone is more relevant to this discussion, and also a good basis to judge your judeo-christian women on.
Wasn’t Kobe eligible for the Hall of Fame this year anyway?
His denying they has sex doesn't mean its rape. He could not want it getting out there to media and his wife that he fucking on the side.
There is also a fine line between rough sex, which kobe obviously is into, and the case his defense made, and rape but it exists
A good way to end religious discussions is to call them fairy tells and to bring it back up instead of moving on.
The logo has to be someone without any significant negatives. You can't make Kobe the NBA logo for the same reason you can't make Jim Brown the NFL's logo. Both guys did something that stained their off the court legacy.First and foremost, there's not a need to replace the logo. It's fine as is and it's well-known and well-recognized. But if you do change it, you can't model it after a guy who was credibly accused of rape. Hell, even if you don't consider that huge part of his legacy, what is the grounds for him to be the new logo over Jordan, who was better than Kobe and did more for the game? Hell, LeBron is/was better and has done more for the game IMO. I'm sorry he died, I get that people are hurting with it, but we can't do unreasonable things as a response to it. Name the ASG MVP after him, let the Lakers do what they're going to do, and let people remember him how they choose to.
Another reason not to make the logo a single person because you never know what will skeletons will appear even after they're retired/gone.The logo has to be someone without any significant negatives.

Not really. She was physically injured and told multiple people about it right away. She was bleeding, had choke marks on her neck, went to the hospital, told a friend right away and her family the next morning. Not a “had fun but changed my mind” situation.
Some of the posts that strayed too far away from the subject of Kobe Bryant and into politics and religion have been removed.
Staff respects everyone's differences of faith. We aren't picking one.
We are trying to be as consistent as we can in funnelling political and religious discussions to the proper sub-forum because of the overwhelming desire of the majority of the board to keep those discussions separate from talking about sports.
If you are interested in discussing what constitutes "rape" further, the political sub-forum is the right place for that discussion.
IMO, as I said before I didn't think very highly of Kobe Bryant until around the time of his injury and his shift into responsible fatherhood. The outpouring of grief can have various shades of meaning and gravity to people for many different reasons, that is personal. For me personally he was a guy who more or less matured into adulthood and separated himself from what a self-centered prick he used to be. He seemed to be a man who had more to give society than he gave it before as a star athlete, and that is why so many are mourning him.
I'm mourning all the poor girls who just wanted to make a tip off.
