One has Bryant's No. 8 on the back with the words, "I'm not a rapist; I'm just a cheater." The other lists the costs of Bryant's trip to Eagle County and ends with, "Not bringing your wife to Colorado with you -- priceless.''

However, I DO wonder what's "racist" or "evocative of Klan lynchings" about the T-shirt words as they appear above.

and it depicts a stickman hanging from a noose on one side, and Kobe Bryant's name on the other, you are suggesting that he should be lynched.

Apparently you haven't read the article that you posted.

The Eagle County sheriff's office ordered a box-load of these t-shirts two months ago in a very embarrassing discovery, and the description Smogger references was contained in those stories.

There's little doubt that the motivations behind these t-shirts evokes lynchings of blacks for raping white women, and it ought to be a point of shame for law enforcement in Eagle County.
