I have not stated that at all. If you have read both threads, I stated very early on that SU needed to make an example of a player that plays in a subsidized building. SU not only incorrectly inflated Kobe's salary, but didnt even have his facts straight.

Read his premise. It is incorrect.

Kobe's salary is not paid by our tax dollars.

If you are now changing the parameters of the poll, then re-state and give me a fair chance to weigh in.

You voted in this poll. Perhaps you can enlighten us as to how:

1. Kobe is making 30M
2. His salary is paid by tax dollars.

Or do you simply vote without thinking?
