OT: Kobe utters homophobic slur at referee after receiving technical foul

Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant appears to direct homophobic slur at ref - ESPN Los Angeles

Quote:

After receiving a technical foul during Tuesday's game, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant stormed back to the bench and appeared to direct a homophobic slur toward referee Bennie Adams.

Bryant's reaction was caught on camera on TNT's national telecast of the key Western Conference battle with the San Antonio Spurs. He hit his seat before sitting down, threw a towel and then yelled, "Bennie," toward the court. Bryant then leaned back and muttered what appeared to be a gay slur.

TNT announcer Steve Kerr picked up on Bryant's outburst and said: "You might wanna take the cameras off of him right now, for the children watching from home."

Kobe being a class act as usual. :rolleyes: That said, though, my first thought on this is, "who cares?". I'm pretty sure they all say A LOT worse than this to one another when the cameras are off of them. Personally, when I play ball, I call guys names a lot worse than "fag" and receive the same in return.

Also, Bynum hyper-extended his bum knee again. Sucks to be the Lakers.

Kobe being Kobe.

When I play ball, everyone points at me and says, "Damn! I thought tall guys were supposed to be good at basketball."

Then I call them "fags" and run away.

Btw, good to see you back dude.

Raping women has become to much of a risk. He needed to show he's still a scumbag.
