deestillballin Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Our NBA sources say league execs are taking a closer look at last night's game footage -- where Kobe is seen mouthing what looks very much like, "F**king fa**ot." It's unclear what kind of punishment the league could bring down on Kobe ... but suspension or a fine is a dangerous possibility with the playoffs about to start. UPDATE: TMZ has learned GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination) has also contacted the Lakers organization regarding the incident. http://www.tmz.com/2011/04/13/kobe-bryant-homophobic-outburst-under-review-by-nba-officials-los-angeles-lakers-sideline-bench-tantrum/ OMG IM SO OFFENDED . It was an outburst.. we all have done it. Then again its Kobe it wont offend me if it was somebody else it would be a fight, real talk.

Flash Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Did some human rights organization really need to write a statement scolding Kobe for his remark? GTFOH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerGuy Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Kobe apologizes. What I said last night should not be taken literally. My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/early-lead/post/kobe-bryant-the-words--were-not-meant-to-offend-anyone/2011/04/13/AFSZ9iXD_blog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl Malone Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Kobe is probably like get off my dick. When people say [expletive]got these days its just an expression. No one even means to offend gay people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 1st amendment guys, 1st amendment. Kobe has the right to say [expletive]ing [expletive]got as much I have the right to say it. [expletive]ing [expletive]got < there I said it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Like no other athlete's do this in their own respective sports? Get the [expletive] out of here. This is getting blown out of proportion. End results will probably be Kobe hit with a big fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YugoRocketsFan Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Fined 100K?!?! Unreal. [expletive] that shit. Ah yes, getting fined 100,000$ for saying a 6 letter word that means "bundle of sticks" I am gonna protest by yelling the same thing at the Houston Gay Parade. Freedom of speech ftw.

Phightins Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Wow...$100K is harsh. But when you are a high profile celebrity, and you get caught saying something like this on camera, you have to expect to catch hell for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Wow 100k? That is so gay. lmao. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7hQN4Amaeg South Park made a whole episode on the term in 2009. I don't watch SP a lot but I caught this episode. It was funny but at the same time had a meaning behind it. The term [expletive]got is simply another slang term.

Lkr Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 if you replace the word he used with a racial slur toward white people, you guys would have a problem then. make up your mind. slang or not, it is an offensive term. i'm not sure if it warranted 100k, but he definitely shouldn't have said it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 As harsh as the penalty is, what Kobe said is incredibly dumb and offensive. I don't care how often it gets said away from the camera or how often some of you say it. Not saying I'd have given a $100K fine if it was up to me, but maybe this will get people to think before making homophobic remarks in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
