Playing to Win: A Dialogue on the Kobe Bryant Case by Gordon Braxton

Led by an unbiased presenter, the audience debates the proposed “facts” of the Kobe Bryant case and decides their relevance in determining if a sexual assault occurred. Gordon Braxton in no way attests to the innocence or guilt of Kobe Bryant; the Bryant case is instead used as a launching pad to discuss the broader issues highlighted by the case.

Core content includes: 1) legal and consensual definitions of sexual assault, 2) the influence of alcohol in sexual situations, 3) rape myths, and 4) healthy relationships. Additionally, Gordon is adept at speaking on a wide range of topics in the fields of gender violence and oppression.  Further content can be included according to the objectives of the sponsor.  Gordon’s expertise and experience enable him to address the racial and socio-cultural implications of the case, as well as to modify the message for an audience of athletes.
