Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
[QUOTE=kennethgriffen]yeah behind a keyboard he's probably openly racist but in a public setting like that its much harder to express yourself like that. he would have to be an absolute nutcase to say "get on your knees boy like your slave ancestors!!!! GRRRR!!!"
yeah right. he had gigantic ice packs on his knees. i believe the guy said "sit down and ice your knees" with maybe a few swear words thrown in[/QUOTE]
what he said was quite tame compared to previous eras... i cant imagine what you couldve gotten away with saying in say... 60s Boston Garden. Nowadays you can be publicly pinpointed and ostracized from society for something that mightve been considered a compliment back then.

Are you saying that things were better back then? A lot of the things that outrage current society were commonplace back in the day.

i mean if all he said was 'get down on your knees' and banned from the venue for life?
That's next level PC overreaction.
its a slippery slope precedent for censorship for sure.

[QUOTE=Vino24]Good. People need to start paying for their actions. Utah does have a lot of racists no doubt. It all stems from the backwards thinking church :oldlol:[/QUOTE]
I don't think that's true from my experience. Ignorant yes. Racist no
Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
[QUOTE=tpols]they mentioned that hes banned from the arena for everything... not just jazz games but concerts and shit, probably the biggest venue by his home. westbrooks snitching actually paid off.[/QUOTE]
Horrible place for concerts.

Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
Why does Russ always get it from the fans? Remember in Joel's 1st career game a Philly fan (not me) gave him the double bird? Or when a fan got on the court and Russ pushed him?
Weird.
Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
[QUOTE=STATUTORY]a lot of his tweets surfaced and the guy seemed like a racist
I gave him the benefit of the doubt early too[/QUOTE]

Look what we got here... another case of defending the racist MAGA worshipping piece of scum who uses the n word with the hard R openly on twitter as a former police officer.
There's no doubt that they were shouting racist shit to him.

Don't forget that kid who hit/pushed him just last week or so.
It's probably because 1) he dresses so flamboyantly and 2) he's pissy with the media
Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
Russ is hyper and quick to take offense but the fans in Utah have a really bad rep among the players.
Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
I feel like the players have enough leverage nowadays to simply refuse to play in Utah, if they feel that the league doesn't do enough to protect them. Wherever you fall on this argument hate speech simply has no place in society and no, 'I pay your salary' isn't grounds to act like the biggest asshole around. It's time to raise the bar instead of excusing those who want to live under it.
Re: Utah Fans BANNED for Life
So Westbrook throws a hissy fit because a guy tells him to sit down and ice his knees. Now the media is playing the race card because he's a conservative white male
lol at libcucks
