Yeah, I don’t think that flies when half the universe is holding Kobe up as some sort of superhero and supreme human being when there are serious concerns about those rape allegations. He was great at basketball. Ok. He was a father who lost a daughter in this tragedy and left other family members devastated and grieving. Acknowledged. But: It’s hypocritical for the entire entertainment industry to honor Kobe in the wake of this whole #metoo movement. He choke focked a 19 yr old girl against her will Here’s his official statement after the victim decided not to pursue criminal charges. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter.I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado. He was also married at the time, so his legacy deserves whatever his past behaviors dictate. And if you’re “in a time of grief” over a dead pro basketball player who you’ve never met and have no personal connection to, you may want to re-examine your life. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently some other pilot did not fly that morning because he said the weather was bad. 100% humidity and foggy as heck. Sounds like there was a lot of dumb going on. I was on the road that morning and the fog was the worst I've ever seen. I literally couldn't see past the hood of my car in places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted January 27, 2020 They have now identified everyone on board https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/victims-in-kobe-bryant-crash-have-now-all-been-identified/ar-BBZlVP7?ocid=spartanntp Quote Nine people were on board the Sikorsky S76 when something went wrong just before 10 a.m. Sunday. The passengers were on their way to a basketball game when the chopper went down. The helicopter’s flight path shows it going from Orange County to the San Fernando Valley and then hovering over the Glendale area as it waited for clearance to travel through the Valley to Calabasas. The tracking ends at the crash site in Calabasas. Kobe Bryant’s 13-year old daughter Gianna was among those killed. Gianna — often called “Gigi” — was the second oldest of Bryant’s four daughters. Bryant had coached Gianna’s AAU basketball team out of his Mamba Sports Academy training facility in Thousand Oaks for the past two years. They were all reportedly headed to an AAU game when the crash happened. In addition to Bryant and his daughter, three members of one family died in the crash. John Altobelli was the head baseball coach at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa. His wife Keri and their daughter Alyssa were also on board. The husband of Christina Mauser posted on Facebook that she died in the helicopter crash. Mauser was a basketball coach at Harbor Day School in Newport Beach, where Kobe’s daughter attended school. Mauser’s hubsband says he and his kids are devastated. Sarah Chester and her middle school aged daughter Payton were on also on board the helicopter piloted by Ara Zobayan.

I"m sorry but this bothers me. Why the fock would Kobe open a sports academy in Thousand Oaks? Kobe lived in Orange County, which is probably 30 miles SOUTH of downtown Los Angeles. Thousand Oaks is probably 50+ miles NORTH of downtown Los Angeles. You can open a sports academy anywhere but you choose 80+ miles away through the worst traffic in the focking United States? Yeah, I get it. You're rich and have a helicopter but apparently sometimes that isn't even the best choice of mode of transportation. Fock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
