Kobe's popularity in 1 Chinese city alone > Whatever Armenia can do for him..
Yes I know China has nothing to do with this but still it's not going to bother him, considering he always has that in his back pocket.
They love their culture and tradition. In high school, we had a holiday for Armenian genocide. They're heavily populated here and they do support the Lakers. These dudes are die hard Laker fans.
The Armenians I know still despise the Turks for denying the genocide.
With that said, I ain't mad at Kobe, but I can see why people would be angered.
That's true but really people from LA and the surrounding area, will start rooting for the Clippers now? Plenty of Laker fans around there.. The team will be fine.
But I was talking about in terms of his money.. Armenians mad at him will be really no issue for him in money terms when he is one of the most popular players in the U.S. and China
