According to TMZ, Bryant told ESPN radio that he intends to appeal the fine.�� Though he hasn?t issued an actual apology for what he said, Bryant told ESPN ?The concern that I have is for those that follow what I say ? look to me as a role model .. for them not to take what was said as a message of hate or a license to degrade ? or to embarrass or tease ? because that?s something I don?t wanna see have happen.?� Bryant, spotted filming a Smart Car commercial in LA February 17th,� followed this up with, ?It?s OK to be who you are.?
