He may have been a great basketball player, husband and father, but not all honoring his legacy.
Kobe Bryant’s Disturbing Rape Case: The DNA Evidence, the Accuser’s Story, and the Half-ConfessionFacts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Rape is more than just a skeleton. At least in my eyes. To me anal rape is more than a mistake.
Again you throw out your patented strawman arguments. I never said his death was not tragic or his daughters death was not tragic or impactful.I simply pointed out that there are people who will not participate in the unseemly adoration of an admitted rapist. I am sorry he, his daughter and the others are dead, but I do not think he was a great human being that should be revered. He should have spent the last 17 years in prison and if he were not a famous basketball player he would have. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument.

Hard to feel sorry for a guy that was actively anti-vax mandate. Not sure if he was personally anti-vax, but sounds like he may have been. Oh well, he should have taken the pandemic seriously.

His wiki page was hilarious today. Earlier it had said he was eaten by an alligator, and the later it said he had died of ass cancer. Gilbert would have loved it. He was a firm believer that tragedy and comedy are close relatives.

He was not a straight-arrow, straight-shooter. He covered up sexual assaults for chrissakes. He was a partisan hack and did everything he could to make sure the people he approved of and fit into his socioeconomic norms were protected and those that did not were kept in their place. In other words, rich, white christian conservative men deserved and needed to be protected. Everyone else was unwashed rabble.
My only sorrow is that he did not suffer more. What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda.

The only thing I will say is that it seems that Liberals are much slower to forgive and forget than Conservatives.
