Kobe Bryant’s Accuser
First of all, I don't know if Kobe Bryant is innocent or not. Nor do I know if his accuser is a gold-digger or the victim of a heinous crime. I do know that ESPN Sportscenter has reported that the woman's home phone, home address and e-mail address has been posted on some web-site. This is incredibly unfortunate, and something that no one deserves. The losers who posted this information obviously represent a segment of our society where mean-spiritedness is considered a desirable attribute, and this is a segment of our society that is becoming more and more prevalent, especially in sports. I can't imagine any justification for posting this information on the Internet except to “twist the knife� in this woman's back further. And of course, there will be morons in our society who will take that information and say “Hey, dude, let’s call up that woman and tell her what a piece of shit she really is�. This is mean-spiritedness for the sake of being mean-spirited. Folks, let the judicial system run its course, let’s treat all those involved with a certain amount of dignity and decorum, and let’s all wait for the facts to become known.
