Why would Al Sharpton immediately defend Kobe Bryant when he was accused of raping a white woman but immediately defend a black woman who accuses two white male college students of raping her without any proof of guilt or innocence in either case?  Does anyone else see the gushing fountain of hipocricy here?

Al Sharpton eats, breathes, and sleeps race. A white person cannot even roll their eyes without him screaming "Racism!" Keep in mind this is the same moron who publicly endorsed Tawana Brawley's claim that she was raped, beaten, and thrown in a dumpster by three white police officers--and later admitted to fabricating the entire story.\n\nAl Sharpton is nothing short of a black version of David Duke with his constant instigation of race riots, and is an embarrassment to the African American community as a whole. Anything said by him should be given as much regard as a 2 year old throwing a temper tantrum in a mall parking lot. It's a shame when the race card is utilized to benefit one race, yet is utterly useless to another race.

the suspension was not warranted.  we are in the Finals, for my Lord's sake!  those type of fouls happened on a regular in the not so distant past.  i am a Shaq fan, but that was a bit much.  i mean he did bust up Stack pretty good earlier in the series where he had to get stitches, so where was Shaq's suspension?  Shaq and Stack understand the game, the real game, no easy buckets!!  this league is going soft in a hurry.  the flopping and whining makes this game hard to watch.  i can go on, but the question was answered.  two fingers

Guilty! And, yeah, I've studied the case for over a week, so I'm not just saying this randomly. What stuck in my mind the most was they had his DNA! And you know what one of the jury members said? He thought that anyone could have the same DNA... So that was not a determining factor for him... That should really tell you that you want way more than just one college grad. in the jury when you're being prosecuted. There was so much more ridiculous stuff happening in that case! Like the Bronco chase, the money the passports, the note! And why wasn't it admitted? Cause some retards at the gas station it got towed to decided to take pics in it! So, the evidence was contaminated, and I agree it may have been, but imagine all the evidence that was there and was not used for some reason. The racist cop ploy... Man, some of the best lawyers in US couldn't believe when the prosecution lost that case. I guess you can't really stand a chance against the dream team.

I think he is just a bitter little freak, why is it that someone who has a skill in a winter sport isn't a "True Athlete". Let's see Bryant do a triple lutz and then maybe he can talk.(Once he gets the skate dislodged from his back side.) Also- maybe he should try spending a winter in a cold climate like Minnesota, then he would realize that the fact that these athletes do anything in this cold weather is amazing! (By the way, it's -10 here)

Got to be T-Mac. Why? I don't like Kobe at all. To me he is to selfish during the games.

OMG, Ms.I'm-more-righteous-than-the-freakin'-pope Ann Coulter is defending Limbaugh!? Despite the fact that they share the same racist Conservative values, I'd think Ms. Holier-Than-Thow would be only TOO quick to make a mockery of the man. But she's defending  him?! This can only mean one thing: Who was the blue pill for? Hmm...\n\n"Coulter and Limbaugh sittin in a tree..."

First of all, his name is Bryant Gumbel and as I don't live in the US, I was not aware of his comments, but have found them on the listed website.\n\nAs to the crux of his comments:\n\n"Count me among those who don't care about them and won't watch them. So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention,"\n\nThat clearly means that he has not done any research at all. If he would have taken time to consult the start lists for this morning's Men's 15km Classical Cross Country Skiing Event, he would have noticed Phillip Kimely Boit representing Kenya, and as you can see from his online page on the Olympic website, he looks black to me.

Because he's black and ESPN is spineless!!! They don't want Jesse Jackas* and Fat As* Sharpton protesting outside of their upscale Bristol, Conn offices..\n\nMichael Irvin has said so many stupid things that this final act of racist commentary should've been enough to put ESPN over the top and fire him....They suspended Tom Jackson for calling Irvin "Retarded" on air but won't do anything about Irvin's racist comments towards Tony Romo and his family...His grandmother in particular....It's a sad double standard world we live in!!\n\nI wonder what the outcry would be if Michael Richards said something to that effect..

people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton remain in the public's line of sight by capitalizing on racial discord.\n\nI for one despise racism: this is why the so-called "Reverends" earn my disgust, they believe prejudicial  behavior is exclusive to whites, while perpetuating the double standard.\n\nWhat is this double standard that I speak of?\n\nThat it's impossible for blacks and other minorities to be racists.  Ever hear Chris Rock damn whitey and call him cracker for two hours during one of his acts?\n\n\nI personally am tired of being blamed for all the world's ills because I'm a white heterosexual-male that believes in God.

Bad jury.  End of subject.\n\nI lied, there's more.  The liberal media fed us daily assessments of Marcia Clark's hair, wardrobe and personal life.\n\nPC probably played a part.  Wouldn't it be politically incorrect to hang a black male for killing a white woman?\n\nDon't think it was the jury, pull the transcript.  I cut my law teeth on this case, as I was in law school at the time.  The evidence was there to convict.

I think what all of you are saying is BS.  First of all, about the rape thing... he was found innocent if you remember.  And about being a ball hog, thats what he has to do to win games!  Lamar Odem had two concecutive triple doubles before the Suns game tonight anyway, so obviousley other people are scoring and he is passing it.  But if his team wants to win, Kobe has to take shots.  And if he makes a lot of the shots he takes, which he obviously does, then it's fine in my point of view.  Kobe is an amazing player, and the most like MJ in the game today.

First of all, Kobe Bryant is the best player since Michael Jordan, and even in their primes, if they played one on one...I would lean towards Kobe...he plays a totally different game than anyone else...he takes it to the rim when he has to, he dishes it out when he needs to, he goes up for the rebounds, and most importantly of all...he puts the team on his shoulders and and carries them to victory...\n\nPeople will tend to say that without shaq Kobe wouldn't have gotten those rings...that may be true but without Shaq, the Heat wouldn't be the number two team in the Eastern Conference...he's a one in a 100 years player, there won't be another like him anytime soon (shaq that is...) Kobe can't do it all, all the time though...he's proved he can win games squarely by himself...ala 81 point games and numerous 60 point outings as well...one more player would make the Lakers a true title contender as well...The thing about Jordan was that he made the players on his team better...well if you look at the players around Kobe, he makes them better as well, Lamar Odom is good but he's not almost triple double average good...Kwame Brown never really produced until he got to LA, now he's almost averaging a double double, smush parker is an up and coming point guard...wonder why?  They need a true big man to push them over the top...\n\nI'm glad you asked this question because I feel the exact same way, but I've gotten used to all the Kobe haters.  He's a one in a life time player and everyone knows that, it's just that he got a bad rap after the whole rape incident and it was proclaimed that he ran phil jackson out of town, but miracuously he is back coaching them...it was "supposedly" his doing was the reason Shaq wanted a trade...people just don't understand, Jordan came around and was a one in life time player that never made mistakes...except reportedly using drugs...but everyone looked past that because he was a nice guy...that's not the case with Kobe, he's not a jordan esque player, but he's just as good....\n\nOh by the way, just tell whoever comes at you with this arguement...ask them who else averages 35.0 points a game...see what they say about that...

Well even if it is only an elbow it's still assault. That's just the type of person Kobe is, mentally unstable

i love kobe bryant, he is a really ood player. HE doesnt care alot about kobe i think, especially during kobe's sexual assault case. Shaq fakes his injuries a whole lot, and he makes like tehy're worst tehn tehy are.Shaq demanded more money from the LAkers, and they said no, he's so selfish! Everybosy gives him these lame  nicknames, like superman, and stuff, and they say he is the best player in the NBA! first of allhe is really slow, he cant run  fast. HE couldnt make  a freethrow if the championship, or his life depended on it. he cant even not foul someone if he is in foul trouble! Evrybody think kobe is a ball hog, and that they dont like him, no they dont no him! i met kobe bryant last year, before the game in L>A. He is so funny, and sarcastic, and he is really tall. I was really nervous i could hardly talk to him, but u no what he said?  "Are u a real fan of me, or are u just here to see the game?" u no wat i sai?"i am a real fan of you", yea i no, really lame conversation, but i was nervous. I no i didnt spend much time with him, but he's cool.

i don't like kobe. he's cocky and thats not good sportsmanship. plus its all his fault that raja is out the game and he's just smiling and laughing about it. PUNK! i bet he wouldn't be laughing if raja was in the game slowin him down.
