[Other Sport] Kobe Bryant dies in helicopter crash

A thread to show respect, has gone off on a bickering tangent.

- Crass attempt at a joke post
- Attack/ban joker post

Let's be clear. The crass attempt at a joke earned a single point infraction for being a tw@ and that's fairly consistent. It just so happened that the user had been a tw@ on a few other recent occasions and therefore got a whopping four days on the totting up process. However....

Kobe was a great. This accident is horrific.

Absolutely all of this. The guy was simply one of the most talented sports people ever and his family have not only lost him but also a teenage child.

Harmony is the death of any Internet forum. Bickering is this format’s lifeblood/raisin d’être, and with that in mind:

Kobe Bryant was definitely not perfect but he did have a specialty that went beyond his sport into the general public. His persona and also generosity will be missed. Hopefully others will carry on with an even greater influence for the good. (NOT TRUMPLIKE)

Literally, where that woman was concerned!

An absolute sporting icon no doubt, but not without his ‘flaws.’ How often we insist on seeing our heroes as god-like without accepting any critiques.

But he was found innocent wasn't he?

Not exactly. Civil suit the girl took out was settled out of court.

Thats never happened before Westy.

Some people want the NBA to change the NBA logo from a silhouette of Jerry West, currently a general manager or maybe former general manager, to one of Kobe Bryant.

Jerry West said he would be happy with this change.
