Kobe Bryant was fined $ 100,000 by the NBA to call a judge a homophobic insult during the match last night against the Spurs Lakers.
"Comments on Kobe Bryant during the game last night was offensive and inexcusable," said NBA commissioner David Stern. "Although I am fully aware that basketball is an emotional game, a term that bad taste will not be tolerated. Therefore, I have been fined $ 100,000 Kobe. Kobe and everyone associated with the NBA knows that insensitive remarks or Derogatory are unacceptable and have no place in our game or the company. "
About an hour later, Bryant said he hoped to meet with gay groups. "It is our responsibility to make it positive and increasing knowledge that can be said that this is not right ... insult and disrespect," he said in an interview with ESPN radio. Then he said he took responsibility for his actions, he will appeal the fine as a matter of protocol.
