Agreed. Here it is if folks wanna judge for themselves (but warning, NSFW language). Either way, I'm pretty sure she just wrecked her career.
You don’t change your logo (and branding) into perpetuity just because someone dies.
She claimed via Twitter that she "stuttered When saying Knicks and Lakers and it came out nakers" . If we're honest with ourselves, and don't go straight to offended, that rings true. Nobody on MSNBC is gonna intentionally drop the bomb of all bombs.
Lets not get off track. There's no need to talk about past indiscretions. No need to fight over, and Im not saying anyone is, but there is no need to fight over what that reporter said. We are talking about 9 people, Kobe Bryant included, that lost their lives in a tragic accident.
She’d have a better chance of bouncing back from beating an infant with a baseball bat, than to accidentally dropping the n word.
Clearly misspoken as Nakers. We’ve all mashed words together and sounded like an idiot. I hope people hold their fake outrage back.
RIP Kobe and daughter. As a father myself, just feels absolutely brutal.

She said Nickers or Nakers...she tweeted and explained that she got tongue tied between Knicks and Lakers.
This is stupid. No one would use the word some think she used to describe today's events...moronic. People need to understand context and realize we are all human.
When the guy that (tragically) dies is more well known and better than your logo then you at least think about it.
It was. People are completely lashing out at this woman and it’s morbidly disgusting.
Thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families involved with this tragedy. The sports world lost an absolute legend and a future star. Kobe’s level of competitiveness isn’t something we see a lot of anymore and he is undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever play the game. It just feels like a punch in the gut knowing that this is a month before the hall of fame ceremony.
Really sad that ABC news reported that all his daughters were killed with him. Twitter is a mess with some people posting crashing helicopters and stuff and his page. Sick people out there.
It’s pretty damn sad that TMZ reported it before the family knew about it .
Huge NBA fan and before this morning I don’t think there was any player in the nba I didn’t want to win the championship more than LeBron, even if it meant AD wouldn’t win either. Never could stand the guy. But I genuinely would love to see them win it now for Kobe. Go Lakers
is that true? our society (and culture) is disintegrating, it seems......
She works for MSNBC... they are very much to blame for the current culture that will destroy this woman.
I assumed if Matt Jones retweeted it, it must be true but I found out quickly there was doubt in a lot of other places. Now there are memorials and crowds in several sites.
The footage I’ve seen even of the crash was a big area of smoke and ash. Nothing resembling a copter or anyone aboard.
I thought she said Nickers, I believe her that she melded the words. We’ve all talked faster than our brains can process at times. She’ll be ostracized and possibly ruined over the error, that’s the world we live in today.
WOW... she’s probably meant knicks and changed to Lakers but it definitely came out N....
She’s done, I’m sure she’s white at least by her dialect so yea Twitter blue checks will be all over this.
Harvey and that whole crew sold their souls long ago.
Google said it was Alison Morris that said it, I’m not sure.[winking]
I'm wondering if Big Ben would get the same treatment as Kobe regarding past indiscretions? His accomplishments are much more visible and his presence on the court was undeniable. But, his views toward women like that just don't all of a sudden appear. I hate that he died along with his daughter and he did die young, but to glorify it like this makes it appear that all the other stuff was just brushed under the rug and forgotten is so much disrespect to women all over. Just my opinion on the matter.
Just driving around, listening to this culture. I found myself thinking, if the death of Kobe is getting this kind of reaction, what in the world will happen when Jordan dies? But then, I figure at least some of the intense reaction to Kobe's death has to do with his age - at 41, still a relatively young man. That's part of the shock. Jordan is closing in on 60, by contrast.
Part of this seems like an over-reaction. As a culture, we over-react to everything. Something doesn't just make you mad, it makes you OUTRAGED!!! You don't simply disagree - if you don't hold the right opinion, then you are a blankety blank and I hope you die in a fire. etc. Kobe was a really, really good basketball player, but really no more than that, and even as that, he's not quite on the Jordan/Magic/Bird/LeBron level, he's a tier below. Part of it is media market - just like you wonder how big Jordan's star might have been had he played in Portland rather than Chicago, so too Kobe being in Tinseltown added to his image.

When someone tragically dies, you remember the good they did. The father he was. How many kids he inspired to work their asses off to reach their goals. A million other reason. He deserves all the glorification people give him. Don't be that guy and diminish Kobe for mistakes he made 15 years ago. Everyone makes mistakes. They shouldn't be remembered for them after they're gone.
Lol. That's your opinion and you're in the minority. You're probably the only person in the world who thinks that.
