Shaq Loses Sheriff Badge for anti-Kobe Rap

 
06.25.2008 - Updated on 06.25.2008

Shaquille O’Neal will lose his special deputy’s badge in Maricopa County because of language he used in a rap video that mocks former teammate Kobe Bryant.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the Phoenix Suns center’s use of a racially derogatory word and other foul language left him no choice. Arpaio made Shaq a special deputy in 2006 and promoted him to colonel of his largely ceremonial posse later that year.

"I want his two badges back," Arpaio told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Because if any one of my deputies did something like this, they’re fired. I don’t condone this type of racial conduct." [http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3459208]

I am ashamed of shaq, I am no longer a fan of his, and I am sure he’s going to lose all of his endorsements! One word to define him is "HATER". GO LAKERS .
