I don't think it's impossible that Kobe Byrant, an actual human being, possessed the sort of empathy and decency required to offer such a statement up. If we believe his version of events, at all, that this was a misunderstanding........then I don't see why it would take the NBA's insistence to reassert as much.(February 6, 2020 at 12:31 pm)Gae Bolga Wrote: He only offered that he could see things her way, in retrospect.

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.
