Today is Kobe's trial....

Isn't funny how everyone comes out against Kobe once something bad has happened and suddenly Kobe is the picture boy for all that is wrong in the world?

And isn't it odd that we aren't allowed to know a thing about the alleged victim (known in the press as 'THE VICTIM' because it's already proven that she was the victim of something) but it's completely ok to eradicate Kobe's image, for all intent and purposes, his livelihood without a shred of judgement being made. I understand protecting the alleged victim, but the alleged criminal is also alleged.....and could very well become the true victim should the alleged victim be found to be lying....

But I don't think too many people see that. They see an athlete, a chosen one, whose fairy tale life is now twisting in such a way as to be against the realm of normalcy. And it's a sad sign of our society.....we love to see people fail just as much as we love to see them succeed, if not more.
