His body language showed me that he knows it is NOT good So much for an Oden/Bynum matchup blossoming over the years like I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexSoxFan#1 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) The cameras caught Kobe calling the ref who gave him a tech a "bundle of sticks" or a "german cigarette" (are we allowed to use the word?) and now the gay community is mad. Seriously that word was a slur against gays 20 years ago but now its just like mo-fo etc. What's with Germans and the word "f**" (no offense)? There is also a German company that does bearings here in Mexico called f** and watching their trucks with those words like 5 feet long is funny/disturbing.Does that mean something in German?

Some people are just waiting for something to be able to make a point for their group, something like this is one of them. Based on my friendships in that gay community I can honestly say none of them give a s*** if Kobe Bryant called a ref a f**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are people supposed to know what word he used if they're reading the article? I mean seriously. Dumb/insensitive/unprofessional for him to say it, just like it was for Ozzie to say it a couple season ago, but it's not the end of the world.

Jenksismyhero Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Wow, are you kidding me? http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/sport...0,3370835.story The Los Angeles Times reports: Despite issuing an apology for yelling an anti-gay slur at a referee, the NBA fined Los Angeles Lakers' star Kobe Bryant $100,000 on Wednesday.

Dick Allen Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Would Kobe have been fined 100k if he called the guy a cocksucker?

Soxbadger Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 I dont think its a big deal, but at the same time maybe you should think about using terms like that so flippantly. I personally think by making a word taboo you give it more power, but Im in the minority (with that belief) and I can respect that people should have a certain level of decency. Cocksucker is not the same, I wont even go into similar words, because I guarantee I can offend 90% of this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
