If Kobe were a white guy and died the way he did, his rape case would’ve been dismissed by everyone and it would’ve not even been mentioned. That’s how it is in America. If you’re black and you do one thing, even if you’re not convicted, you die guilty as a bad person, no matter what.
White people will claim it has nothing to do with race, when it reality it has everything to do with race.
It is being dismissed by 99% of the human race because he didn't rape anyone. Of course there are hateful people, trolls, SJW types, etc, who will try to get some attention out of it and make themselves feel good.

Wow! this is the reality of this marriage. Pretty sordid.

His legacy would have been that of Mike Tysonof he would have gone to jail.. His time on Earth and his life wAs very lucky and cushy.
Well complain to his accuser who chose to settle and take the money.
If I had to do it over again, I would have taken the money. Going to court was so traumatising and humiliating. I have ptsd from the rape andthsr experience. Unless you’ve been raped YOU DONT GET IT. I’ve spent 20 years once therapy. That’s expensive. Money could have helped me a lot and going to court just made me feel violated all over again.

Makes me realize that we should continue to talk about Kobe in this context, especially now that he is dead. Infact, his daughters should know what he was accused of and what he admitted to.. Why? Only then male athletes will change their behaviour. Kobe should be made an example of and his legacy should always be remembered along with this incident (adultry with battery or violent rape - you choose). Unless athletes are made aware that this inhumane beastial behaviour will not be pardoned and forgotten, they will never have any motivation to change. Kobe will not be forgiven and neither will any other athlete who dares to rape. Keep it in your pants and use your damn hands.
Let athletes know that
Who died and made you the sex police? Buzz off. These are adults making adult decisions. Who the hell are you to try to dictate what grown adults can do? Your arrogance is astounding.
Who died? Kobe did. Remember that exceptional athlete who was beloved and who also cheated on his wife and raped a teenager?
We all will take some stance - rape protestors, rape apologists and neutral Switzerland. No one made me the sex police but when did you become the pimp?
You continue to post nonsensical gibberish. Take a minute to collect yourself and come back when you have something coherent to say. You still live in a delusional world where you think you have the right to tell consenting adults how they can have sex.
Except consent was not given.

Your denial is astounding. Rape is not sex. Rape is about power and violence. You would know if you were not so thoroughly groomed into taking it up yours.
