Not saying sexual assault/domestic abuse is ok... But be consistent with how you judge people accused of it is all I'm saying.
Kobe got plenty of that, but after his death it is tough to bring such topic for a guy who died in an accident that young, with his daughter.
And even then, there was a lot of , we know there were allegations, when he died.

It is way different to be assistant, hiding in the shadow of the main guy, than leading coach for a super star.
It is also different times in 2021 than 2014
There were even rumours that those allegations where the reasons Kidd wasn't hired as head coach of the Lakers in 2019.
Not saying I agree with the response, companies are about business and not justice. It isn't their job to judge folks for things they did or accused for 2 decades ago. And I believe that even criminals has the right to get jobs without digging at their past at some point of their lives, if they aren't proven to be dangerous atm.
