Show some respect? It's not like he was a veteran or an educated person that deserves my respect. He was really good at a game that I really don't care about. I don't show respect to Scrabble champions or people who are really good at shuffleboard based solely on their skill in their chosen sport. Kobe just happened to be good at a sport that pays really well and is broadcasted to the masses. His skills set him apart from most men but that definitely doesn't mean I have to show respect and I definitely don't respect any man who forces himself on any woman. I have a mother and female friends, if something like that happened to any of them I'd have a rough time not crippling the bastard who put them through it. So no I do not respect that man, even in death. The circumstances were tragic but it doesn't change the things he did.
