Kobe Bryant & His Lakers Teammates Film A Tolerance PSA

Kobe Bryant & His Lakers Teammates Film A Tolerance PSA

"Words Can Be Hurtful"

Last week, Kobe Bryant of the LA Lakers was fined $100,000.00 for hurling an offensive anti-gay slur against a referee on live national television. This week he and some of his Lakers teammates are featured in a new tolerance-preaching PSA in an attempt to undo some of the damage Bryant?s slur caused last week. Check out the PSA below and see how Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, Shannon Brown and Lamar Odom are trying to teach the message of tolerance.

I?m not gonna lie, the guys in this video kinda look like they?d rather be anywhere else in the world ? but I do give them kudos for making the effort. It is my hope that this PSA will not only teach others the lesson of tolerance but it will also teach sports stars, like Kobe Bryant, the very same lesson. I would bet good money that Kobe will not be dumb enough to hurl a slur like that again. Whether he refrains from such offensive behavior because he really believes the tolerant message he espouses in this PSA or he is afraid of the backlash (and exorbitant fines) that would come if he did it again is irrelevant to me ? if he manages to keep such language out of his mouth and out of sight of the impressionable people who look up to him then it is a win/win situation for all. As for this PSA ? what do y?all think? Are you impressed?
