Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 25, 2003 from a e-mail sent to me... Just what I needed to make my night even better (I don't have to go to the reunion until morrow after noon! whoo!) Check this shit out "I realize GameCop wasn't exactly the smartest guy in the world, but what you did is reprehensible. You ban the guy because he has an opinion...hey, he even warned us that it may "turn some heads." If a guy has an opinion that differs from yours, is that grounds for banishment? Your actions here today have demonstrated your inability to remain headstrong, impartial, and unaffected by the majority. The majority on this board incessantly denigrated GameCop because he was different, because he made uninformed comments. Not everyone is blessed with a high IQ or the ability to make coherent, argumentative statements. Moreover, I don't understand why GameCop's opinion was so controversial. I mean...the gist of his argument is that Kobe Bryant is a national or even an international hero who is arguably the most recognizable face in sports. If he is convicted of rape, our country, America, will be the joke of the Universe again. Bill Clinton, the leader of this country, abashed many citizens and tarnished this country's image in the eyes of foreigners. If Kobe is convicted, do you know how often our country be will reviled, or maligned? National and International relations are imperative for our country, and a potential Kobe Bryant conviction can undermine this country's validity and superiority in international relations. In that respect, I see how Kobe's life might be deemed more significant than Kate Faber's. Rape is deplorable, there's no disputing that, but in this case, I think it might be (although I'm not 100% siding with GameCop here) more damaging for this country to see another hero, leader, and symbol of righteousness fall from grace. GameCop doesn't deserve to be banned. You, however, deserve to be rebuked for deferring to a horde of posters who were out to annihilate GameCop from the day he started posting on this forum." This was so damn funny. Add your thoughts on the matter. PM if you want his E-Mail address. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Beats Me but since I "led" the revolution to get him banned...I was targeted... I kinda liked the guy for a moment....then all s enses returned... I dunno who E-Mailed me though it was either Game Cop himself or Johnson...one of those two. Just a hunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 25, 2003 That is just ONE of the biggest laughs on the rant...He isn;t even the biggest in the NBA. Tiger, MJ, Jeff Gordon, Wayne, Beckham, A.I, are just a few that come to mind more known then Kobe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest evenflowDDT Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Who the hell is Zidane? And is soccer really that big over here that Beckham is a household name? I only know who he is because he married Posh Spice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Does Johnson really worship Kobe that much? The guy is so overrated in the NBA. EDIT: You're right, Choken One. Jeff Gordon does belong on that list, but Zidane is a VERY highly recognized across the globe as one of the greatest soccer players since the Pele years.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Who the hell is Zidane? And is soccer really that big over here that Beckham is a household name? I only know who he is because he married Posh Spice. I thought it mean in General...but yeah Beckham is getting bigger in America just because he is the "cool" guy to like now...Tiger is old news.

It's amazing that we already instantly tagged it to be Johnson... Well I did to but I would be SHOCKED and Swerved if it were some one like Ripper or something but then again...Ripper doesn't smear MORON all over his thoughts like Johnson does on frequent basis.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Who the hell is Zidane? He plays on the French soccer team. So how the FUCK is he reconizgable in America? Beckham is the biggest star in the world and BARELY known in America...I never heard of Zidane and I'm willing to BANK that most others don't Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Most people who follow and/or play soccer even casually know Zidane. We tend to think that just because someone is big in America, they are big globally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 25, 2003 But he was talking IN AMERICA. So he wasn't talking about International Superstars making America looking bad...but American Icons making us look bad... Kobe isn't making us look bad...It's our president...

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted July 25, 2003 I have absolutely no idea who David Beckham is, other than that he plays soccer, which makes me not care to know anything else. Zidane I'd never even heard of. Most recognizable athletes I can think of.. Muhammad Ali, MJ, Mike Tyson, Shaq, Tiger Woods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mystery Eskimo Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Nobody in Britain or Europe has heard of or cares about this Kobe guy, so there's no way he's making the US look bad around the world. That's possibly the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Who are Jeff Gordon, Dale Jr. and Barry Bonds? I know who Kobe is, but only because he endorsed a game. The average person has no idea who he is over here. Most famous sportsmen from the "American sports" = Gretsky, Shaq, Jordan, Dan Marino. Also, Davis Beckham is the stupidest, most annoying piece of shit in the worls. But, seing as him and Posh have signed a deal to make them the most famous people in the world, I get the feeling that the two of them will be over there a lot. Have fun!

Guest crandamaniac Report post Posted July 25, 2003 Bill Clinton, the leader of this country, abashed many citizens and tarnished this country's image in the eyes of foreigners. I thought the other countries were laughing at us when this was going on. Anyways, this guy is an idiot if he believes that Kobe should be let off scot-free even if he is guilty. This guy (I'm guessing it's Gamecop in a ploy to make us think people like him) needs to be ass-raped just to see how it feels to be raped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
