I finally watched the Lisa Leslie interview. Gayle mis-stepped with the "you wouldn't know" comment about Kobe being a possible rapist. At that comment, she crossed her journalistic line of neutrality, and looked as if she was taking a side on whether Kobe was a rapist or not...
That was a clear mistake...
Snoop's reaction though is a mirror of typical Coli posters, and was outta bounds. She can be called to task for making a professional mistake, she crossed a line, and there's also a line that can be crossed in response to her crossing a line, and Snoop crossed it. Frankly, if you watch the entire interview, it wasn't hinged on Kobe's case and besides that one comment, was a good interview...
I'm not sure why an interview with Lisa was needed, which does perk the conspiracy wire and make you think it was a plea to rope women in for some reason. Maybe unnecessary but for all we know Lisa needed or desired to publicly speak on her friend, I don't know...
Snoop is a square and is too gotdamn old for alota the shyt he says and does, his response coulda left out the name calling. Plenty of people loved and admired Kobe, and you're not honoring or defending him by attacking Gale. The thing alota people seem to be missing is if Kobe was asked was the Colorado case part of his legacy, he woulda said yes, as a highly intelligent human who lived a public life for over 25 of his 41 years. Kobe woulda known that whether he passed at 41 or 71, it would have been spoken of, and Kobe has long already admitted fault for placing himself in a situation that could have been avoided...
Kobe would not have been surprised by this, understood this, and the maturity we've watched him grow publicly over time, Kobe would not have wanted people to respond like this. People acting like Gayle is saying fukk him and everything he stood for are creating tension for no reason...
She made a mistake in the integrity of her profession. It's okay. Kobe made mistakes in his profession and we moved past it. It's really alarming how some people lack self-awareness and live to create misery....
