- Got a technical foul
- Got pissed
- Called the ref a "f*cking faggot"
- Gay community condemned him
- Commissioner decided that $100k is the appropriate amount to fine him
Not fair as in the fine was too big, or not big enough?
IMO, the gay community should stop taking "faggot" as a serious insult, when not directed towards them. People use it ALL the time now regardless of the person's sexual orientation. They should stop associating themselves with it. I seriously doubt Kobe was insinuating on the ref's sexual preference.
I am not against gays in any way, but they are doing themselves a disservice by exploding things out of proportion.

Not fair as in too much. Maybe like $10-40k would be acceptable.
Lol. This reminds me. A friend of mine called a male flight attendant a "faggot". Later when they landed the cops were called and hassled them for 2 hrs. In the end. All she had to do was apologize. Posted via RS Mobile
I think it's great. I don't care what he specifically said to the ref, but I'm pleased that the fine is commensurate to his income. I'm also a huge fan of speeding tickets and other infractions/penalties being tied to the income/wealth of the individuals in question. Honestly, like that 20 minutes of work picture shows, it's not like the 100k fine is likely to affect his decision to or not to make outbursts at officials in the future anyways.

honestly, gay people are way too sensitive. I have nothing against gays but what the fuck..
they get their own parade and all that bullshit.
I like getting blowjobs, how come I don't get a parade for that? I'm sure there's more then millions of people out there that like getting blow jobs too.
plus a lot of them put themselves out there to get blasted on(no pun intended). No one wants to see a guy dress in short shorts and a tank top out in public, or hear about how they took a load to the face etc..

i dare you, no, i DOUBLE DARE u to stroll into a black community and throw the term "fucking nigger" around casually. good luck explaining to the brothers to stop taking "nigger" as a "serious insult, when not directed towards them" (that is AFTER or IF you wake up from your coma).
you underestimate the power of words. here's one for you to look up: "derogatory"
in all honesty i am a big Kobe fan and i'm disappointed he would use such a term.

...go Lakers!
your example does not make any sense cuz Kobe did not go into a gay pride parade and throw around the term "fag"
They gotta fine him something because the gay associations were being all emo.
Basketball is an emotional game. If you sit near the court once you'll know players talked more nasty stuffs. Kobe just happened to got caught on national TV and they gotta do something about it.
And technicals reset when playoffs start, to a scale of 7 instead of 16.

Easy to say since you're looking at it from, what I assume, is a hetero point of view.
Kobe's an adult not some elementary kid calling someone 'dildo' or 'fag' I actually look down on people using the word 'fag' or 'nigger'
