Are you trying to blame my reading to cover up your own writing? Psh.
Secondly, Jordan cheated? Yeah, ok, but was he suspected of rape? Nope. Like I mentioned already (if you read the whole thread), being suspected of rape (compounded on cheating) is on a completely different level than simply being caught cheating. Now if Jordan was suspected of rape, would he still be treated differently from how Kobe is being treated? Of course not. Poor, poor analogy.

I'm not blaming anyone to cover up anything. I already explained that I thought what Kobe did was wrong and why I mentioned Jordan. Don't twist the words - MJ and Kobe both did wrong but are treated differently for it.
Kobe's rape trial was dropped because the woman didn't want to testify and wanted to settle with $$ in a civil suit. This makes it very apparent that she was a gold digger. If Jordan were in the same situation, he would've been forgiven much sooner and easier than Kobe. Even before the alleged rape, Kobe was already treated with disdain.
