Joakim Noah fined $50K for using anti-gay slur from bench during Heat-Bulls Game 3

[QUOTE=comerb]Yep, its the special interest groups that blow everything out of proportion. America has become pussyfied to a ridiculous extreme the last decade or so.

But the media certainly doesn't help by reporting on stupid shit like this like anyone other than the loudmouth minority cares.[/QUOTE]

This. :applause:

stern is about to put a dent in your bank account brah. :oldlol:

He should get fined. Weak IMO letting a fan get to him. He's going to be even more mad once he's on vacation in a week.

The post of the ****ing decade. This man speaks the truth. So tired of these special interest groups. Not everything is so cut and dry

If Kobe got fined, Noah deserves that same fine or worse because the league has just recently shown this is not acceptable behavior.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but that was just really inappropriate.

Noah: i'm sorry for that comment back there. i guess i was just being retarded.

Game 3 is probably going to break TV ratings record, millions are tuning in to watch Noah bashing gays, david stern is going hard on this one. :oldlol:

He shouldn't be. Its FREE SPEECH... **** ****...

Apparently some people think it's cool to be ignorant as f***. SMH.

I don't like that people in that situation use that word.

However what bothers me more is that people attach a homophobic element to the comment.

That word, for a lot of people who grew up in my generation and those after it used or heard that word used in a way that had zero anti-homosexual awareness let alone intent. Noah used a word that is used in movies and television, in Rap and Hip-Hop, in conversation all the time and never used to offend, belittle or persecute gay people.

By fining Kobe and bringing attention to it and now bringing attention to this, far more harm has been done than would have had the comment just been ignored like the hundreds of far more offensive things I've heard while attending NBA games.
