Kobe Bryant dead from Helicopter crash

He only offered that he could see things her way, in retrospect.  He never stopped defending himself, and he was never convicted of anything.  I really don't see why it's so hard to believe that a person could find themselves in that situation.

Come on dude, there is no ambiguity to RAPE, either they had consensual sex, or they did not. The prosecution dropped the case, therefore THERE IS NO NEED for Kobe to make ANY STATEMENT, yet he does, and I guarantee the NBA made him make that apology for the reasons stated.

Kind of like when Stephen A. Smith (who's allowed to say anything he wants about black men) was suspended and forced to apologize when he offended a white woman at espnwith his comments on the Ray Rice situation.

While the sports anchor did say, “We know you have no business putting your hands on a woman,” he also cautioned women, saying, “Let’s make sure we don’t do anything to provoke wrong actions.”
