Oh BS.

He was a big supporter of taking a knee.

“Over the course of Kobe’s 20-year-long career, he remained consistently silent on political issues,”

****

Yup. I remembered that. I get it with this drama for 2 days but this nonsense about replacing Jerry West logo for the NBA is just that: emotional crap. I know, Im in L.A. and saw ALL those championships in town. But time to move on.

Mixed bag to be honest. He did comment on taking the knee and I think he said some things about Trump but consistently over his career he wasn’t going the way of today’s nba stars and LeBron deep dive into politics. Made comments after his career was over but for the most part he was about helping others and the community

Same answer to the article with sources when it was published Feb. 1, that drew all the bullying here:

HORSECLINTON!!!!

“Kobe Bryant said he would kneel for national anthem if he were still playing”

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/2017/10/05/kobe-bryant-los-angeles-lakers-kneel-national-anthem/735758001/

“Kobe Bryant Criticizes Donald Trump for Causing ‘Division and Anger’”

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2734739-kobe-bryant-criticizes-donald-trump-for-causing-division-and-anger

*********************************

The Kob has some serious defenders here willing to overlook all this and attack, because, after all, it was WAY BACK in 2017.

Here’s THAT thread for all the sanctimonious intolerance and anger:
