Skip Bayless: Colorado rape case helped Kobe sell shoes

[NYC Rebel]

I hate that anyone pays attention to this kind of trash. Television like this a fukking cancer. The cable news machine has caused irreparable damage to political debate in this country. I don't think the pundits even believe half the shyt they say, but ignorant audiences lap it up and parrot it back like legitimate arguments. I hate it.

Can't tell black folks to ignore the dog whistled throwing under the bus we've been asked to take. It's tired

Soon as Bean said BSPN were idiots, I knew the smear campaign was bound to happen. Lol at a rape case giving Kobe street cred and shoe sales. Give me a fukking break

Skip is a troll but he has a slight point. I said it in that "Inconic Athletes" thread but it's true, Kobe sneakers have never sold that much and even now they don't. Before the rape trial Kobe was seen on some Tiger Woods vibe. He was looked at as squeaky clean and well spoken but also smug and arrogant. He was everything white america thought Iverson wasn't and this is part of the reason Iverson was like god to black bball fans and Kobe was despised. After, the rape case Kobe got tats and tried to cultivate a fake tough guy persona

So Kobe doing that to himself spoke to "who?"

That "sizzle" that clown was speaking about was people other than Kobe, who you're not speaking on

It wasn't black people, I'll tell you that. Kobe's main appeal due to location in Cali is to Asians and Mexicans.

@IllmaticDelta son don't quote me with nonsense

Kobe's stature grew with Cali Asians & Mexicans after the rape allegations

In combination with winning titles, it did to a degree. The case gave Kobe more personality or appeal.

 

[mrken12]

he about to get suspended. Good riddance

THat show prolly gone soon anyway.

And I noticed that he tried to blame black people too with those code words. That wont get the attention though (and probably shouldnt when you try and use rape as a profile raiser)

No he isn't.

 

[Grand Eeezus Maxwell]

I was waiting for this story to drop . As soon as he said it everybody on the set got quiet.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

will he be suspended

Hell no

No he doesn't.

That's not at all what I meant

 

[Supercoolmayo]

So ESPN got all their "pundits" taking shots at Kobe cause he shytted on their wack ass rankings

What did Kobe say about espn putting him at 40?

I know you didn't. I think you just overlooked that part
