Kobe Bryant Calls Ref "F*cking F*ggot"

How classy, Kobe. And of course we all know that you aren't a "F*cking F*ggot" ... cuz we've still got the Colorado memories to remind us you prefer women ...

Update #1: Via Pam we learn that Kobe has issued an apology and put out by GLAAD:

Lakers guard Kobe Bryant issued the following statement today in response to feedback regarding a comment made during last night's game:

"What I said last night should not be taken literally. My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone.

Update#2: Via JMG we learn:

In a move the Human Rights Campaign calls "unprecedented," the NBA has fined superstar Kobe Bryant $100,000 for calling a referee a "fucking faggot" during last night's game.

Glad to see it is getting expensive to be a public homophobe.
