Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
I'm not sure where exactly Cris Collinsworth was trying to go in this interview with Kobe Bryant, but thankfully it's a place that Bryant wouldn't allow Collinsworth to take him. Listen to the way Collinsworth asks Kobe if he thinks it's "cool" to say he loves his country, because to me, it seems like Collinsworth is expecting a much different answer than the one Kobe responds with.
Note to Collinsworth: it's the Olympics, dude. Athletes are representing their country against athletes from other countries around the world. Of course it's cool to be patriotic and say what an honor it is. I don't know if Collinsworth meant the question to be a legitimate one in the context of our country's current political climate, or if he was just looking to catch Kobe saying something controversial. But either way, Kobe's answer left Collinsworth looking like an unpatriotic, self-loathing American. Probably not the qualities that NBC was looking for from one of its Olympic broadcasters.
