People are too fucking sensitive. I can't believe they're grilling him and that the NBA is fining him $100, 000.
People get offended by anything these days.

Lol, you can't be serious. I didn't watch the Lakers game, but it looks like it was against the Spurs 2 days back. And they fined him 100 G's for saying "f'ucking f'aggot"? Wow.....
"FYI -- according to Forbes.com, Kobe made an estimated $48 million last year in salary and endorsements."
Though Kobe can pay it off since he's rich as pineapple. xD

I think he has a $180 million 8 year contract. Or 6 years.
Still, it's ridiculous. People blow things out of proportion.

I'm not angry enough for it to be in the angry dome.

So, a homophobic, a rapist, and a black dude walk into a bar.
Someone shouts out "Hey Kobe!! Can I get your autograph??"

The outburst was on the air. Despite the fact you had to read his lips to get the gist of what he said, I believe the fine is right. I'm not one for censorship mind you but I'm not going to say "x" when I have "y" amount of viewers.

For the record for those who don't know, Kobe got a foul and called the referee a "fucking papaya."
The big problem with people isn't that he cursed at all, but people are taking him to literally be homophobic and are mad that he "hates and discriminizes against gay people."
He didn't say it like that to insult gay people...It's just a curse.
But of course people have to get hurt and omg its Kobe Bryant "he has to be perfect human being he's a role model he's not a human hes not allowed to curse at all."
It's completely ridiculous.

Code of conduct, you don't call your customers "fu'cking fa'ggots" in front of their face if you're working right?
Granted the fine is a little steep, but you have to have some sort of professionalism.

I can understand people getting mad about this, but that fine is fucking ridiculous.
