U.S.: Kobe Bryant issued $100,000 penalty for calling a ref a bad word

  • $100k fine to Kobe Bryant for anti-gay slur source
  • » During a game against San Antonio, Kobe Bryant became angry at having been issued a technical foul, and referred to the referee using an anti-gay word that we won’t repeat. Unfortunately, the exchange was captured on camera, and following criticism from several prominent gay rights groups, the NBA decided to fine him $100,000. This may sound steep, but Bryant makes over $300,000 per game, so it’s really just a drop in the bucket. A very large drop, that is, in a very large bucket.

Culture, Sports: Uh, Spike Lee, why did you direct a Kobe documentary?

  • Lee, fresh off his critical, uh, success with “Miracle at St. Anna,” has chosen to follow it up with “Kobe Doin’ Work,” which is essentially a film of Kobe Bryant at his day job. source
  • The film focuses on just one game – an unspectacular performance last year against the San Antonio Spurs. And it doesn’t get the interesting parts. It’s just a lame Spike Lee Joint. source
