Collinsworth seemed stunned that Kobe felt honored to represent America. And suggested it wasn’t “cool” to show patriotism these days. I was stunned by HIS comment! What an ass.

Good on Kobe!! And Lebron James too. They are both patriotic guys.

Notice the guys who ran track and won gold medals did NOT sing or put their hands to their hearts during the anthem as did the NBA guys (who ALL did). That tells me alot about what they are made of.

Screw Collinsworth and NBC.

Kobe Bryant is Italian. He grew up in Milan. His hero is Mike D’Antoni (the new Knicks coach who played ball in Italy when Kobe was growing up).

Anyway, Collinsworth doesn’t say anything here that would make a normal person think he’s embarrassed. In fact, he’s actually begging the question that it’s “cool” to feel patriotism.

So what’s all the fuss?
