Noah's fine is actually worse. It's 1.6% of his salary. Kobe's fine was only 0.4 of his.

[QUOTE=ace23]Calling the official a fa**ot is different from doing the same to a fan. It does not help that Kobe's language was heard by millions of viewers.[/QUOTE]
No we didnt. We just read his lips.

[QUOTE=sbw19][COLOR=Teal][B]I wonder had Cuban said that what his fine would've been.

$5 Million.
Stern then would've banned him from courtside for 3 seasons.

I think if you charge one guy 100k, you have to charge 100k to everyone who does the same thing. I dont care about the difference in pay they receive. I dont pay less for a traffic violation over a high paid lawyer. You cant change every fine based on their pay scale

Re: Did Joakim Noah get caught saying "fck u fggt" in Heat-Bulls Game 3
[QUOTE=Zach Morris]I have [I]no[/I] problem with the cameras capturing the moments of these athletes
when they spew their hate. Even if the cameraman zoomed in on Noah
intentionally, he didn't force Noah to say what he did. Show the viewers what
the kind of people they look up to. I'm all for it. You can't blame a camera
crew/man/production team for exposing some of these bigots.
Yes, Noah was upset, but that doesn't excuse what he said.
Noah will soon learn or be reminded of the oxymoron that his right to freedom of speech, comes with a price. Lol. Get 'em, Stern. :cheers:[/QUOTE]
How does using *** make you a bigot? I have seen gay people call someone else Gay/***. Most people use that word for people being stupid or doing something dump. Noah had no clue the guy was gay or not

[QUOTE]Noah was asked what he thought of Stern's decision.
"Well, I learned my lesson. I'll never say the word ******* anymore. No sirree, ******* is gone from my vocubulary. I used to say ******* this and ******* that. *******, *******, *******......But I realize now that saying ******* is wrong. As a matter of fact, I plan on doing a "******* Tour", if you will, with kids throughout the country to discuss the harm of using ******* in daily language. I mean, ******* isn't just wrong against gays, but saying ******* at other times is bad too. Well, I learned my lesson. My language will now be ******* free.
Especially since the HEB said it was wrong."[/QUOTE]
I think Noah is making great progress.
Re: Noah fined $50,000 for gay slur..what do you think of it?
They should ask KG what he says and say that instead. :oldlol: Seeing that the cameras zoom in and slo-mo on the dude letting out all the expletives all game and he's never received a fine for that.
Re: Noah fined $50,000 for gay slur..what do you think of it?
By the way, not that im defending it but the NBA's explanation for why Noah's fine was half of what Kobe's was was that not only was it a slur but they said he "verbally abused an official."
