Roy Hibbert fined $75k for remarks

[Salazaar]

NEW YORK -- Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert has been fined $75,000 by the NBA for using inappropriate and vulgar language during postgame interviews following the Pacers' 91-77 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

"While Roy has issued an apology, which is no doubt sincere, a fine is necessary to reinforce that such offensive comments will not be tolerated by the NBA," said NBA Commissioner David Stern.

Well I expected it to be 100k, but seems fair.

[Kews1]

no homo

I can turn on my TV right now and watch all manner of deplorable violence being acted out right there. But don't you DARE utter a no-no word on television or you're going to pay.

But you know...freedom and all that.

That is alot of money for a joke that isn't really a gay slur, more like a bad joke....kinda like "that's what she said."

75k for something that didn't impact the game at all.
Yet only 5-10k for this:

Lol NBA fines players for saying 'no homo' yet NFL players make homophobic comments and nothing happens. NBA is a such a joke.

[Shepseskaf]

Seems excessive to me, but at least the Dictator didn't ban him from game 7.

Lmao, flopping would already be done with it if the leauge gave out these kind of significant fines for something that ..... actually affects the game

Hahaha, holy shit, I was thinking the exact same thing.

And you gotta believe the only reason they care about fining anyone anything in the first place is because of brand integrity/image.

But why/how the NBA views offensive language as more damaging to their brand than flopping... well... I have no ****ing clue.

[Droid101]

Well, it was for his "Vulgar language," so that probably includes the "Mother****ers" he pulled as well.

[chazzy]

So one of your employees calling you an old crackerazzcracker will receive less of a punishment than someone that flops... :applause: :applause:

[Rose'sACL]

it was for the "mother****er" and not for "no homo". Whether we like it or not, a player of the best basketball league should not be calling media members "mother****ers" even if he feels like media isn't doing its job well. This way coaches/media members can call players "mother****ers" for playing bad and wasting their time.
also, Kobe got fined $100k for his incident in 2011. Kobe didn't even say those words while sitting near a mic like hibbert.

Athletes swear during their press conferences or comments, it's not a big deal. I've seen Kobe drop f bombs more times than I can remember without repercussions. It's a casual and loose, saying "MOtha****AS" wasn't an insult to the media.

[DropStep]

Just eliminate those post game interviews if you are so worried about your athletes.

[Rose'sACL]

this. people don't understand that you can't call a group of people you don't know "mother****ers" on tv while being a player in the best basketball league in the world.
i think flopping should result in a tech but i also think that this fine is completely justified.

Still something you can't say in public, especially directed at the media

[Rose'sACL]

or athletes can start acting like grown-ups. he could have easily said the same thing without using the word "mother****ers"

[longtime lurker]

Still something you can't say in public, especially directed at the media

If he didn't say the no homo comments he wouldn't be getting fined for swearing. It's not a big deal as long as he doesn't start making it a part of every press conference then he's just going overboard.

[Rose'sACL]

If he didn't say the no homo comments he wouldn't be getting fined for swearing. It's not a big deal as long as he doesn't start making it a part of every press conference then he's just going overboard.
I strongly believe that he got fined for using the word mother****ers. No one outside of ESPN thinks "no homo" is a gay slur.
As a professional in that position he is entrusted with certain responsibilities, one of which is to not use certain language. And it's not just implied, every player coming into the league is taught certain things, this being one of them.

[chazzy]

If he didn't say the no homo comments he wouldn't be getting fined for swearing. It's not a big deal as long as he doesn't start making it a part of every press conference then he's just going overboard.
Disagree. Can't call the media "motherfvckers" on national TV. That's an obvious fine to me

[outbreak]

No problem with a 75k fine, hibbert knew it was comming and said at the time he'd accept it. The issue is that flopping fines which affect the actual game are so small and not a %. Any number they pick is crap because it just means big name players can afford to wear the fine while others can't. Should be an in game play like a technical foul or should be a % based fine on their salary or match fee.

[MavsSuperFan]

As much as I love the guy...

How much would KG's fine be if they bothered to look back at all the ridiculous language that's come out of his mouth and into the ears of people watching Wolves/Celtics games?

KG had the intelligence to realize that he shouldn't say that stuff in a nationally televised press conference

Feel bad for Hibbert as I don't think he had any malice behind his words, but its about what I expected. No way was the NBA going to tacitly approve of his words by not taking a chunk out of his wallet in 2013. Still relative to what he earns, it should be a big deal.

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Has LeBron been fined for that flop yet?

[wagexslave]

I was gonna make a gay joke, butt f*ck it

[Rose'sACL]

Has LeBron been fined for that flop yet?
has PG been fined for that flop and how does lebron's flop come into this?

[Rameek]

The fine should be using profanity on TV but not for the No Mo that isnt even a slur.:facepalm

That is alot of money for a joke that isn't really a gay slur, more like a bad joke....kinda like "that's what she said."

[305Baller]

Stern just robbed Hibbert then called him a homo.

[Rik Smits' Hair]

As previously stated
5-10k for a flop, but 75k for a comment seems unbalanced.

[nathanjizzle]

seems right, the nba will make an example of roy hibbert to keep the gay sympathizers on the nbas side.

[Rose'sACL]

As previously stated
5-10k for a flop, but 75k for a comment seems unbalanced.
then have the problem with the rule. Stop bringing lebron's name into things that are not related to him. There is no set fine for using "mother****ers" in press conference but there is a set fine for flopping. I think there should be a tech called for flopping but stop bringing lebron into every thread to make your players look better when lebron didn't call media "mother****ers" for writing about him every day.
I am sure if a white player said something like ""Nah, I didn't steal it, I'm not black.", he would be fined and ridiculed by media for months. Both "no homo" and "i'm not black" are jokes. The "no homo" thing was said after calling every media member "mother****ers".
If lebron said the same thing . ISH would be shut down for a couple of hours.

[It's A VC3!!!]

he didn't even go at anyone. he wasn't said mother ****er in a harmful way. it was more of a joke. whatever, it's his money and not mine but to me it did not seem disrespectful and more so informative. why the **** does the stupid media vote for awards anyways?:facepalm

[305Baller]

Stern has no sense of humor. He is a fascist dictator. Cant wait for him to retire.

how was mother****er not said in a harmful way? If your boss who you don't know too well comes to you and calls you a mother****er loudly in front of the whole office for not doing your job well, is it not harmful as well?
Hibbert hasn't been doing his job as a player too well for majority of his career. Should media start calling him a mother****er too?

It's not a gay slur, ESPN and the media got it wrong but it's still an insensitive remark because you know people(media and activist groups) will twist it the wrong way, which they already have.

The fine was a little excessive but you can't blame the NBA for trying to cover their own butts. If the NBA didn't do anything about it, you know damn well some media watchdog group will make a big deal out of it.

your being sensitive. he didn't say it with an attitude is what i'm saying. he was laughing while saying it therefore implying it was in a joking manner and not to be taken serious but as informative. he certainly wasn't mad at the media. he just won a game 6 and forced a game 7 and personally "I" laughed at the situation. the media is stupid. if i was a player, i'd HATE them.

Hibbert put Stern in a position where they basically had to fine him to cover their own asses. All in all its no big deal, Hibbert didn't harm anyone and a fine equivalent to 0.6% of his annual salary isn't going to bankrupt Hibbert.


Stern has no sense of humor. He is a fascist dictator. Cant wait for him to retire.

:rolleyes: When Stern starts using secret police to kill people then you will have a point. No player actually has to pay any of Stern's fines. They could always choose to leave the NBA. Stern has been the greatest commissioner in American sports history. Where the NBA was when Stern took over, to where it is now. Stern is the GOAT commissioner.

he did say it with an attitude. Were you not watching? wtf is wrong with nba fans? The "no homo" thing is fine with me but calling the media members mother****ers was just wrong no matter how you see it.

[niko]

Do most of you people have real jobs? Jobs have rules. Some jobs require you to travel or take people out, etc. During those times (for jobs that don't make people $12M) if you say something really dumb, you might get scolded, lose money (bonus, etc.) or get fired. Roy Hibbert has a job where he is required to talk to the media. During that time he has rules. He broke the rules, and thus he got fined.

He makes $12M A YEAR. And some of you are butthurt on his behalf he's acted not to talk like an immature teenager for the 30 minutes or so (at most) he needs to talk to the media. And this was after a win. Where you just need to talk about positive things. EVERYTHING IS POSITIVE. And he called the media "mother****ers".

I don't feel bad for him, sorry.

He actually did say it with an attitude, it doesn't sound like you heard the comments, it sounds like you read them. He was basically being pissy over not being shown enough respect. It was not respectful and playful.

Most posters here have no job otherwise they would know that you can't use the word "mother****er" like hibbert used. He was very serious while using it too unlike when he used the "no homo" part when he was joking.

I've often in my life traveled on business, there is a ton of rules written and unwritten in your behavior. There is no "on my own time". And a lot of things depend on the audience and their reaction. It's part of being an adult and people paying you to do things.

people are confusing the fact that he said " you guys are mother****ers" with "ya mother****ers don't even watch us play"

they sound like the same but the second is worse. whatever, not going to argue. but im glad roy said that. i hate media in general and they deserve it in whichever way it was meant to be said.:lol

Will you be fine if media/coaches started calling players "mother****ers" in the same manner hibbert did if media feels that the player is not playing well as clearly hibbert was mad at media for not doing their job properly? These players make way more than any media member present at that press conference.

I never call someone "kid" on internet but you just said that calling someone "mother****er" in a press conference isn't that big of a deal.
People who work minimum wage jobs can't to do that. these players make a lot of money playing the best basketball league in the world. Anyone can see it. the video gets posted on youtube and then is shared on facebook where every kid can see it.
How does this not make you seem young?
there is a big difference in how the world works and how you want the world to work.

This is just the type of stupid I can't stand..Freedom does not mean you can say whatever you want and not be in trouble with the person you work for. He used a gay slur ( only an idiot would deny this ) and he represents the NBA. OF course he is going to be in trouble for it..If not then everyone should be able to use the N-word all say in their press conferences. Is this what you are saying? Because there is violence of TV that the NBA should allow anyone to say anything they want? Is this actually what you are saying?

He didn't call anyone a homo. He used a phrase that a lot of people apparently don't understand

[bmulls]

It may not be a gay slur but it is still a crude and tasteless joke about butt sex. He also said mother fcker. Kobe was fined 100k for "fcking f@ggot", a clear gay slur. 75k for what Hibbert said is very fair.

[Rose'sACL]

He didn't call anyone a homo. He used a phrase that a lot of people apparently don't understand

The NBA's statement said he was fined for his remarks, it says nothing about gay slurs. They aren't about to start a national debate on homosexuality by defending such a stupid phrase like "no homo". At best it was a crude joke about butt sex, at worst it was offensive to gay people. Either way he shouldn't have said it, and he shouldn't have said mother fcker either.

Hibbert's statements have brought a ton of negative press to his team and to the NBA. If you think this fine is unfair you are a moron.

Homo is not a slur. Do you even know what the definition of slur is? How does saying the word 'homo' insult or damage the reputation of gay people?

Gay people ARE homosexual.

He wasn't being derogatory.

He didn't say, "Gay people are retarded." He didn't call anybody a homo.

Was thinking the same damn thing. What a player says outside of the game has NOTHING to do with the game yet theyre still fined for it for an amount more than 7X that of trying to CHEAT in the game.

If thats how they prioritize penalties, the only logical next step would be for LeBron* to either get a 100k fine for his flop or a suspension. Won't happen of course, cuz when LeBron* said 'no homo' nothing happened.

Absolute disgrace.

I am losing patients with you idiots. Homo has been used as a gay slur for decades..The two words that have most been used are homo, and ****..If you don't know this you must be about 15 years old..

Because in the internet age a bunch of non funny morons go around saying no home everytime they bring up something gay doesn't mean it isn't a slur and hasn't been for decades.


The ignorance of young people who spend their lives are the internet is scary...

Go educate yourself and do some research...Amazing..

If you want to write some gay groups and ask them or take the time to research go ahead..But stop with that nonsense that its not a slur..

lots of homos in this thread.

[Xiengqichess]

Why a guy gets fined when he stated that he's not gay and another guy being applauded for saying he's gay? Anyone has the right to say he's not gay!

We need a straight guy coalition.

Like I said I am sure you wouldn't bother spending 20 minutes looking into the FACT that the word HOMO has been used a as a gay slur for decades..Because you are a 15 year old idiot who gets all his knowledge from internet boards..

Its the history of the word not what it means..Bitch is a female dog, but I think we know from the history of its use you can get yourself in trouble by using it..

And what a surprise because idiots always do this, you equate me knowing about the word homo to be gay myself...Like I said you are a moron..

[Funnyfuka]

it's only gay if you swallow.

[LBJMVP]

Only someone ignorant doesn't know homo is a gay slur..it is and has been for decades..

[brantonli]

I can turn on my TV right now and watch all manner of deplorable violence being acted out right there. But don't you DARE utter a no-no word on television or you're going to pay.

But you know...freedom and all that.

'Murica, ladies and gentlemen.


It wouldn't go down very well if you were holding a press conference for your company and you just blurted out the words 'motherf**ker' and 'no homo'. Its casual language for the bar or the internet, but not for talking to the press.

Exactly.anyone in my company would be fired on the spot, even if it was just in front of a coworker who was offended..know your audience.
