Kobe drops a couple F Bombs

Kobe has enough people who hate him already, you might add the gay community to that. During last night's game, Kobe uttered what seemed to be an obscenity that rhymes with "ducking maggot."

Now, that was not directed at a gay player or some gay fan in the crowd, it was directed toward the official who gave him a technical foul.

I love Kobe's response this morning. He didn't go up there and have his lawyer prepare an apology. He's a man on a mission and doesn't have time to waste on a TMZ story.

"What I said last night should not be taken literally," he said. "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."

He might get fined and he might get some hate mail, but everyone knows he wasn't sitting there thinking, "I'm angry and am going to offend the gay community right now!"

It's ridiculous.

If anyone should be offended, it should be the referee, seeing how that's who it was directed toward.

This really is a non issue.

If I'm with my buddy and he utters an offensive slur toward me and put it on Youtube I highly doubt he'd care what some gay kid in Milwaukee comments about it. Why not? Because he wasn't talking to some gay kid in Milwaukee.

We are getting way too sensitive in this country. People are getting wound up over something that wasn't even aimed toward them.

I'm Mexican, if Kobe would have called the referee a "F****** beaner" I wouldn't really get offended becuase he's not talking to me. It really is that simple.

This reminds me of that Wanda Sykes commercial where two kids at a diner keep casually saying the word "gay" and Sykes goes up to them and tells them to "knock it off."

Knock it off? I'm sure the pizza guy statue they were talking about was really offended.



I'm not for putting people down or making them feel bad, but I'm also not for using issues like this for political gain. I really don't think Kobe was making a political statement toward the gay community, or that he doesn't want them to get married and hates all gays.

He made a rude statement. GET OVER IT.
