Dwyane Wade Sr., the father of Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade, was ejected from Wednesday's contest at the United Center, according to an arena source.



While seated in the 100 level, the elder Wade was asked by arena personnel to stop using profanity. He refused and was ejected, the source said.



According to the venue's Website, the United Center, "intends to provide all guests with a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment. Our family atmosphere prohibits foul or abusive language, and any violation of these policies may result in ejection."



The Heat declined comment on the matter.



The Bulls defeated the Heat 106-102 on Wednesday. The younger Wade, a native of Chicago's south suburbs, had 36 points in the losing effort.

Put that in the OP, if you want too...

LeBron + Wade = Long lost brothers.

Wow. Sounds like a 1st amendment issue. Don't think you can't tell paying customers which words/language they are to use.

Yeah, it might be in your businesses best interest to tell all thuggish looking black people they can't enter, but that doesn't make it legal.

Yes, and I'd be more than happy for you to argue about it.

Yeah, you'd have a pretty hard time presenting a legal case that in Chicago, curse words meet the community standard of obscenity.

I mean, apparently there's no problem walking in wearing a "*** LBJ" shirt. How much worse could what his dad said have been?

[N0Skillz]

Obscenities don't fall under the 1st amendment rights .


How the hell do you not know that?

[NumberSix]

Obscenities don't fall under the 1st amendment rights .


How the hell do you not know that?
Yes, but "obscenity" is very difficult to define legally. Like I said. You'd have a hard time in Chicago trying to prove that "foul language" meets the community standard for obscenity. You'd be hard pressed to find cases of words meeting that standard. You'd have a hard time categorizing pornography as "obscene" let alone swear words. Why do you think porn is legal in most places in America? Because it doesn't meet the community standard of what's "obscene". Good luck trying to label swear words as obscene in pure blue Chicago.

I hope to god that none of you actually believe swearing is illegal in Chicago.

I would highly doubt that there is a single "community" in America where swear words are classified as "obscenity". If there is, Chicago sure as fck isn't one of them.

Not to be a dick, but you'd have to be pretty stupid to think it's not within your 1st amendment rights to use swear words. Almost shockingly stupid, but not really because most people are generally pretty clueless.

Lol @ you trying to act like you know what you're talking about.:roll:

The NBA is a private business...... Have you ever even been to a basketball game? Every Arena has a code of conduct and if you break that code of conduct they can kick your ass out.

You do not have the right to say whatever you want to in public. Freedom of Speech covers the FEDERAL government restricting your speech, not a venue like a stadium. They can restrict what they want.

The first amendment says that the GOVERNMENT can't interfere with your speech.Courts have held that that applies to POLITICAL speech, not to all speech.
For example, Insidehoops can restrict your speech on this website. The government cannot restrict your speech on Insidehoops.
Your boss can tell you not to wear a T shirt with a political message to work. The government can't tell you shit.


Shit bro :facepalm

Yeah he does. I'm pretty sure he's got a few step brothers from his Dad's wife too.

[Blue&Orange]

Know what IQ6? Just call Wade's dad and tell him he should sue, and that you are paying all the costs, because it's a guaranteed win... how about that?

[N0Skillz]

Way to take a quote wildly out of context without even having the intelligence to understand why it's even out of context.


It's like talking to a 5 year old.....

[burnsy87]

You are so ignorant. Real entertaining stuff right here.

[burnsy87]

Yeah, it might be in your businesses best interest to tell all thuggish looking black people they can't enter, but that doesn't make it legal.

That's because it is illegal to discriminate based on skin color/ethnicity/age.

It is, however, legal to kick someone out for being a complete jackass.

So are you saying it would be ok if Wade's dad just stood up and started screaming obsceneties non stop at the top of his lungs? You honestly think he would have a case in court for being kicked out? Are you honestly this stupid?

[pegasus]

Ur mad that the Hornets lost. Go cry somewhere else.:cry:
Idiot, I'm a Bulls fan. And Kobe is one of my favorite players, so I'm happy that he beat Stern's team with yet another strong 4th quarter/OT performance.

You're just upset because you're slowly realizing that Lebron may never win because of his weaker than toilet paper mentality:roll:

[emaugust]

Hey idiots... this is real simple...

When you buy a ticket to a Bulls game you accept the Bulls organizations code of conduct for the United Center. You can view that code of conduct here:

http://www.nba.com/bulls/tickets/conduct_0405.html

This is something that, buy purchasing a ticket, you have tacitly agreed to and as such, the venue is free to eject your ass for violating said code.

This isn't a free speech issue in the least.

and BTW, you are mostly wrong about this one too

you can't boot a person for being black BUT you can kick somebodies ass out of a place for what they are wearing.

there is a bar right down the way from me that won't let you in if you are wearing a jersey, a sideways ball cap, a wife beater, etc, etc.

its well within a businesses rights to restrict language and attire in their building.

Ok, let's get it straight regarding the 1st Amendment .......

United States

The fighting words doctrine, in United States constitutional law, is a limitation to freedom of speech as protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. In its 9-0 decision, Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire (1942), the U.S. Supreme Court established the doctrine and held that "insulting or 'fighting words,' those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace" are among the "well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech the prevention and punishment of [which] ... have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem."

U.S. Supreme Court Chaplinsky decision.

Chaplinsky, a Jehovah's Witness, had purportedly told a New Hampshire town marshal who was attempting to prevent him from preaching that he was "a God-damned racketeer" and "a damned fascist" and was arrested. The court upheld the arrest and wrote in its decision that ---

"There are certain well-defined and narrowly limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise any constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous, and the insulting or "fighting words" those that by their very utterance inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace. It has been well observed that such utterances are no essential part of any exposition of ideas, and are of such slight social value as a step to truth that any benefit that may be derived from them is clearly outweighed by the social interest in order and morality."

Yeah, I was serious, OBVIOUSLY. That's why I specifically said it "MAY" be a first amendment issue. I don't have a full understanding as to what the details are on the agreement is when buying tickets to this place. I've never been there.

Obviously terrorist threats aren't a form of free speech. Duh. How fcking dumb are you that you would even bring this up?:facepalm

We were talking about the use of "swear words".

Obviously you can't just go around threatening people, or harassing people or making false claims. Nobody is even discussing this. Were not even talking about context.

This is over your head. Just run along and let the grown ups talk.

Wade's father is a respectable man who owns his own business.

Gloria James is a ghetto whore who doesn't know LeBron's father, and still acts like a teenager.

So what if the guy was using profanity? The two aren't even comprable.

[ConanRulesNBC]

Wow. Sounds like a 1st amendment issue. Don't think you can't tell paying customers which words/language they are to use.

Sure you can. You can heckle players all you want but when you start using profanity or really insulting them using curse words you should be kicked out.
