[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it not all a part of his legacy?

If now isn’t the time to talk about it (and I’m not saying it is), at which magical date can we discuss the hard part?[/quote]

Sure. When his youngest has graduated college.

Ha ha. So what would he have told his daughters about protecting themselves from sexual assault? I am sure that conversation had to happen sometime sooner than college, right?

Victim was 19 year old woman. His oldest daughter is a 17 year old woman now, and was 5 months old when this happened.[/quote]

You do realize that the conversation and norms around consent have changed pretty dramatically since 2003 don't you? I'm pretty sure "no means no" was en vogue and now it's "yes means yes" and enthusiastic, continuous consent, I think. I can't even keep up. Kobe himself has evolved as a person since then, as well.[/quote]

There are many men I know of all age groups who have not been accused of rape, ever. He was accused of rape when it happened, according to the mores of that time. Today, he would have been rotting behind bars. He was one lucky guy who had a narrow escape from the jaws of justice, and his life went on with all the accolades, fame, wealth and blessings that was promised by his amazing talent. I think he was very, very blessed and had an amazing life.  The sadness is truly for the survivors. [/quote]

Key word: accused. How old are you? And do you have children? I guarantee you far more of your sons/daughters peers will have been accused of rape then previous generations. Norms have and are changing. My uber driver the other day was telling me about an issue her middle school teacher sibling was facing with all of the girls accusing the boys. Society will adjust.[/quote]
