Who gives a ****. I saw the tweet from an article on Yahoo. Posted it and didn't think twice of doing research because I wasn't hell bent on it being true.

I'd rather be that guy than the guy who tries calling out that guy only to fail miserably.

Not sure I did. But carry on.
If it’s 100% true, is it really a presumption? I mean, if I say the sun will totally rise tomorrow, is that really a presumption? If it really burns you that badly, swap out Trump for Obama, Limbaugh for “insert CNBC guy here” and then feel better about things. His point is 100% valid regardless.

You have low IQ if you think otherwise.
Any polarizing figure will have people, who at first chance, will dance on their corpses.
You're lying to yourself if you think otherwise.
I've grown to like Kobe over the last five years. He's been great after his retirement and is an amazing father. That said, since his passing I've gone back and read the details, evidence and quotes from his sexual allegation. All I have to say is that it's fair people have brought them up. You may not like it, but it is.
@Zombie used the words "torn" (I think - read last night haha) and I think there are Kobe's haters, Kobe's fans, and those who are able to see both his good and his bad.
I certainly will remember him for his good. I've grown to like the guy. However, I'm not going to try and shame someone who brings up his rape after his death. If you wanna be that guy that brushes that under the rug then so be it.

Does not matter if it's valid. Dude made an attack on folks without provocation at an inappropriate time because he felt the need to do so. Really. It was uncalled for, so he get's an ignore. Simple as.

There is a time and place for everything. The man died, bringing up anything but condolences and sadness at this time is tasteless and shameful.

I don't think social media is the place to have that expectation.
I don't think anyone of us would say anything negative to Kobe's family. Kobe's family isn't here.

I disagree. Read the article I posted.
If someone is a victim of someone who's died, then they shouldn't say anything about what the offender did, right? Time and place...
I'm not saying it's the right thing to do and definitely can see how it can come across as tasteless. However, I'm not close-minded enough to not understand why people bring it up. Rape is a traumatic, devastating, and horrific act that many people do not and will not forget.
Trust me, go back and read my posts in this thread. I'm just as devastated and saddened Kobe died as the next guy. I'm sure he was holding his daughter if they knew they were going down to comfort her. That's the type of dad he was.
Since his rape allegations have been brought up in this thread, I've gone back and read up on it. I can see why people can't and won't forget it. It's pretty disturbing. If you're upset people are making these posts, maybe read up on the case and evidence and you might see or understand their perspective a little more.

I'm not sure why people have this perspective other than they're regurgitating what they think is the "right" thing to say and do at this time without being able to have critical thinking skills.

No ****. But I'm not what part of "he makes it right out of the gate with no provocation. There was no reason to make the comment whatsoever, but dude did as a form of political shaming." do you not get? If he wants to make a attempt to attack folks in a remembrance thread/news thread for a deceased player, that's his call. Doesn't mean I can't call him out on it for being an ***.
