Do you support Westbrook? Votes as always will be anonymous so no agenda is needed.

[Mask the Embiid]

Let the people decide


edit- i voted he should of beat that maga dude's ass.i seen all the tweets...i believe rus

[chains5000]

He shouldn't beat him for that, but he did nothing wrong.

[Uncle Drew]

Yes. Love me some Russ.

[RoseCity07]

No. Westbrook talks a lot of sh*t on the road. Fans are giving it back to him. I hate when someone can dish but can't take it.

If a fan goes racist he should just tell security to eject them.

[nayte]

I voted yes. Fans have to kept to a standard to. I believe fans can heckle but there has to be lines imo

A dude at the game said he did get racist.He dont know if it was him who said the n-word or someone in his group (family)

why would fans at the game lie?They gain nothing from it.If you say "attention" he could of got that saying westbrook was lying also.So i believe the majority + his past tweets...

Plus he was a cop...awww man some stories about to come out :applause: this MAGA p.o.s is about to get exposed

Do you have a link to that? Even if you're right I say ban the guy from NBA games forever. It's more of a punishment than Russ punching him in the face.

[brownmamba00]

Utah fans are scum just obnoxiously racist..the same fanbase that made fun of dfish's sick daughter

That said, bball players in other parts of the world get paid way less and get shit on by opposing fans. Even get punched and get thrown all kinds of shit at their heads.

I'll vote no and i'm a westbrook guy.

That shit is not heckling, that's just a plain disgraceful remark, **** that dude and his wife.

Well there u go. As I said fans need to be accounted for and have a standard. No one needs to go to their work and cop that type of crap

I took a very similar point of view in my response in the other Russ thread.

Fans are essentially going to the players "place of work" and insulting them, there has to be a line... I'm not saying Russ's response was the right way to go about it, but I don't blame him for standing up for his family when a fan decides to go full trailer park boys with his heckling.

Russ will get fined for sure, but that fan should be banned from the arena, if he had verbally assaulted one of the arena staff like that, he'd be on the street or in a holding cell.

Players put up with a lot of verbal abuse from fans that just shouldn't happen. How do you think that guy (that you don't even know) would feel if you went to his workplace and starting talking crap about his family to him... sounds pretty stupid right... well, that's what he just did to Russ and fans do it all the time to players.

I completely agree with Russ that there needs to be consequences for fans going to far with verbal assaults, it's actually part of the "terms" you agree to when you use your ticket for the game, it just needs to be enforced more.

This is the worst part and maybe the reason the guy did it in the first place... not only is he getting a TV interview out of the whole ordeal, but he's doing while still in the arena he should have been thrown out of... marketing genius :bowdown:

How many more twitter followers does this guy have today...?

[Spurs m8]

The dudes side of the story actually seems pretty legit.

And he did have ice on his knees...makes sense

[tpols]

he's an idiot.

the whole point of a heckler is to get an emotional rise. checkmate.

you're a 100 million dollar player the guy should be an ant to you. i wouldnt even hear him

[PJR]

Of course I support Westbrook.

These loud mouth racist ass crackers think they can say anything to players without repercussions. It was hilarious seeing that dude try to play victim in typical white fashion after all that provocation. And his twitter feed all confirms he

[lilteapot]

He shouldn't have threatened his wife but otherwise I back him.

[Marchesk]

The Maga dude should go back to Europe where his ancestors came from.

NBA players are paid to play basketball and entertain not listen to some asshole vent his frustration on them because he cannot get it up anymore.

[dunksby]

According to Westbrook she repeated the same remark, if that's true then she got what's coming to her.

[Rudeboy3]

Fans talk too much shit and get away with it. He needs to get his ass beat, him and his wife

This.

The reason they target Westbrook is because hes stupid and has a shit character. Tune out and stop engaging the fans you idiot. They are white noise. you are an entertainer so just go on about it and entertain. In Europe he wouldn't be able to leave the arena alive with that attitude, and it has nothing to do with racism, just sports passion and crowd mentality in general. Its part of the game.

[DukeDelonte13]

No. Heckling happens all the time. 99.9% of players don't flip out. Westbrook has had multiple instances of getting riled up by fans.

[brownmamba00]

Yep I like WB but dude comes off as a clown bitching about the fans to the media. As long as they're not getting in your face or throwing shit at you. Why even entertain the guy.

Somebody was racist towards Eric Cantona? lol youre an idiot :roll:

He was just another spoiled, entitled, oversensitive bitch like Westbrook. And he got suspended for months for that. Nobody in his right mind does that. You don't engage the crowd. You stay quiet and then file a complaint that will have the fan identified and removed in the future. You do not single out members of the crowd and treat them as in everyday interaction. Its a crowd ffs.

[knicksman]

why stoop down to the level of fans unless youre insecure? But its westbrook, a well known statpadder, so im not surprised hes insecure.

Notice its the Westbrook, artests, Jackson's etc that get drawn in because they have little control over their emotional states... He disrespected me yo. :roll:

[imdaman99]

Westbrook got these boys shook :oldlol:

[dbugz]

Having argument with these fans is like replying to a troll in a forum.

It's just effin noise.

[FreezingTsmoove]

I support both since it is a heated rivalry between OKC and Utah. The fan deserves to get to talk shit to Westbrook since Russ is always harassing Jazz fans and Westbrook deserves to talk shit to Jazz fans for harassing him.

why didn't OP include the assaulting of females in westbrooks first option

Supposedly this is the guy's Twitter, and it supposedly had a lot or racists, violent tweets. He looks Mexican to me. https://twitter.com/AirForceJuan11?protected_redirect=true

[baudkarma]

I think Russ handled it the right way. If he complains to arena security, the worse thing that happens to the guy is he gets ejected from the game and gets a warning. Nothing to stop him from doing the same thing next time the Thunder come to SLC. Well, Russ fixed that. Dudes name and face are out there now. If Westbrooks version of what happened holds up, the guy will be banned from NBA games for life, and that will probably be the least of his worries.

The point is, buying a ticket to a sporting event does not give you the right to scream profanity and racist taunts for two hours. Nevermind Westbrook, there were other fans at that game, people who had also paid money for their tickets, and I doubt they appreciated having this clown screaming his insults practically in their ear. You expect heckling from the home crowd at a sporting event, but if this guy said what he's been accused of saying, then he went way over the line.

Reality is, there will be always fans like that whether you like it or not. Russ is going to deal with it for the rest of his nba career if he'll not change the way he handle situation like this.

Again, it comes with the territory.

Just like other celebrities, you are putting yourself out there, expect bashing and insults.

[NBAGOAT]

he shouldnt beat them up but I'm fine with his reacting harshly. He's done with this shit and a fan needs to experience some consequences if he's going double down with the lawsuit.

[fourkicks44]

The fact is there are consequences to this shit. Russ is gonna get heat.

It is the corporations and their money that run shit. Any sign of negative publicity and they will start running. All the #metoo women will get a hold of this and it will turn into a shit storm. Ultimatley nobody gives a shit till money starts to dry up.

Look at the whole Colin Kaepernick situation. But in his case he only took a knee. Russ was threatening a white women. Shit could get real messy. Especially with Russ' track record of crowd related incidents. 60 years ago brothers were still getting lynched for less.

That being said, I voted yes. He should have beat that cracka and his wife. Take a stand Russ, but just be prepared for what will come next.

me too women arent going run with this. They usually lean liberal and if it's confirmed guy and his wife were being racist or at least homophobic and that they're maybe Trump supporters, they wont support them. Laura Ingraham will bring this up however :oldlol:

They would have a field day, even if it is just to get a bit of publicity.

No one's supporting it you idiot. Point is that there was no physical violence. The issue with this thread is that some of you here seem to think that blatant racism is less insulting than WB saying he'll beat them up when he's clearly not in a position to do so.

[sdot_thadon]

hell yeah, no anonymity needed here. good thing you put witness protecton for the cowards though:oldlol:

one of the option is literally

Yes (he should of beat that Maga dudes ass)

:biggums:

Westbrook could have easily de-escalated the situation by laughing at the guy and dismissing him completely.

The problem is this racist fan can just fade into nothing with his agenda all over the media, where is due to Russ' position and stature all the negative consequences will fall on him.

Russ bought it on himself tho. I'm happy he took a stand but Russ is going to recieve all the heat and it is because he lost his head and snapped.

Westbrook didn't need to do anything, but he's played a bunch of games in Utah over the years and maybe those people have been heckling him for a while, the guy's twitter had some really hateful (not NBA-related) posts about him from last year as well. We don't know what caused him to snap at dude but it's likely this wasn't the first time.

The guy's a living stereotype of how the Left would describe MAGA and deserves to get his ass beat. 17 years as a cop and he acts like this? N bombs with the hard R on twitter?
