Loving the Blazers and... Kobe?!

[Mediocre Man]

A guest on the Jim Rome show just said that Kobe's top choices to replace Phil Jackson are Nate McMillan and Jeff VanGundy.

From Showtime to Slowtime?

Are you fucking joking? I don't know you, and I'm not going to pass judgement, but what the fuck does someone's VOLUNTARY sex life have to do with whether or not that person was INVOLUNTARILY RAPED? I am stunned when I see this kind of "logic" or "justification" or whatever it is trotted out in passing judgement on whether or not a woman was assaulted. It leaves me speechless. I hope I misunderstood your post, and if I did, I apologize.

No one knows if she was really raped. He is saying that she is a whore who fucks anyone who walks. She fucked Kobe, thought to herself, "damn, I can get some coin if I say it was rape. Then I can quit this P.O.S hotel room job."

I heard there were 3 different dudes semen in her underwear. But I don't give a shit about a whore.

why?

Why not? If you're going to get cute, at least ask a real question.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's sure a double standard to me. Do you ask if the man had voluntary sex before allegedly raping?

So you can question Bryant's credibility, but I cannot question hers? That is the only double standard I see.

Being a womanizer doesn't exactly help your case I would think.

I have. Frequently. Sometimes a violated woman wants badly to be with someone she likes. Sometimes a violated woman feels she has totally lost the right to say no. I know of one woman who after a rape called 3 different men within 24 hours for sex and later said she'd been made a whore by the rapist and was acting like one.

I dont' think out of your limited male experience you can pronounce on what rape victims "always" or "never" do.

Oh yes, is there maybe just maybe just possibly a credibility problem with the alleged rapist? Is his previous or subequent behavior relevant? Or is it just a woman who must be scrutinized to see if she was pure enough to not be "asking for it"?

Thankfully I don't know too many rape victims but that behavior doesn't seem to be normal from what I see reported on the news as well. In addition to what has been said about her from her own friends, what she said to detectives and how she showed up to the exam, it does not seem like a close and shut case at all. Kobe is rich, Shannon Brown is rich, Kwame Brown is rich, they've all gotten charges against them thrown out due to a weak case. I would assume NBA players are also targets? It seemed to me like she submarined her own case with her conduct.

Previous and subsequent behavior is very relevant actually, just like OJ was criticized for the Bronco, or the "I did it" book.

You can be a blazer fan and like Kobe. Now if it was he likes the blazers and likes the lakers then thats not allowed. Kobe is an amazing player, people hate him because of what he was acussed of. He is just a normal person who made a mistake or believed to have made a mistake, that has nothing to do with how he plays the game
