Kobe Accuser a 'Danger to Herself'Girl had 'mental health issue' in Feb.
Umm... he already said he had sex with her. And that there's no rape. And I realize this might help him claim that she was confused as to what happened.
But planning for a post-trial career, does Kobe Bryant really want the world to mop the sweat off its brow and say, "Whew! We were afraid he was messing around with party girls but it turns out he was just had his way with an emotionally imbalanced girl" ?
However the trial goes, this is a career that should be over. We constantly hear whining about the difficulties of being a sports star and pleas that these guys didn't ask to be heros or role models but... too damn bad. The guy who serves you your fries probably didn't ask to be a janitor either, but the odds are good that he gets to clean the bathrooms every now and then if he wishes to stay employed. Kobe Bryant was handed a first class opportunity to make millions doing what a lot of guys do for free in pick-up games across America just so they can have a few hours pretending that they're as cool as Kobe Bryant. The cool's gone. Bryant should be too.
