I am saddened by what Kobe has done as I am a Laker fan and have always respected his demeanor on and off the court. Granted, he has a bit of an ego, but can you blame him with the mad game he has? I would be high on myself as well if I had game like that.
As far as the girl goes, and from what I know of Kobe, I have to say she is possibly stretching the truth a bit. Whether it is for money or attention or some other form of self gratification, I don't know. I don't even know if she grasps the full reality of what could happen if she is lying. From what I have read of her, it seems she might be someone reaching out for help because of recent turmoil in her life and this is how she is reacting.
This is all very sad. If Kobe is truly guitly, I hope he gets the punishment that any U.S. citizen would be given under our legal system. If he is not guilty of rape, I hope he, his wife and his child can move on with their lives to the best of their ability. He is guilty of adultery and that will always leave a mark on his reputation with me. *sniff, sniff*
