TMZ: Noah Appears to Hurl Gay Slur at Fan

[LkrFan]

Noah went to the bench early in the game with his second foul. After a replay, the camera cut back to Noah ... who screamed a few colorful words in the direction of a fan behind the bench.

He ended his screaming appearing to say, "F**k you, f**got."

Unlike Kobe's outburst, the announcer's made no mention of Joakim's.

Watch he doesn't even get a $10.00 fine. :rolleyes

[Venti Quattro]

Depends on whether it got caught on camera. Kobe's slur got caught on camera.

[DJ Mbenga]

^ it was on camera. even that lazy eyed booooyah stuar scott saw it and is expecting a suspension.

[redzero]

Wait, Noah played tonight?

[LkrFan]

Depends on whether it got caught on camera. Kobe's slur got caught on camera.

This is a joke right? They both were caught on camera. Numbnuts. :lol

Click the link pendejo. :lol

[monosylab1k]

He didn't say it to a ref so I doubt Stern gives a fuck.

[DeadlyDynasty]

No way he gets suspended for that...unless they postpone it till next season.

[LkrFan]

He didn't say it to a ref so I doubt Stern gives a fuck.

QFT. Still doesn't make it right though. :downspin:

You decide what is "right" now?

You decide what is "right" now?

Yes, I do. It's how I roll.

They need to lay off. Faggot's a good insult and should have a place in NBA arguments.

As soon as gay ppl realize that faggot isn't the n-word and never will be the n-word, and that it's possible to use the word faggot in a non-homophobic manner, the better off the world will be.

[LkrFan]

WTF? :lmao

[monosylab1k]

WTF? :lmao

Don't be a faggot and act like Noah is homophobic for using that word. Just because Kobe got Colorado'd after using it doesn't mean you have to cry about anybody else using it.

[LakerHater]

It was posted in the Game Thread!

A-mother-fucking-men.

Only a fucking faggot would be offended by the word faggot.

I also hate the commercials about not using the word "gay". Shut your dumb ass up Wanda.

[Kyle Orton]

Yeah, and fuck those faggot sympathizers Grant Hill and Jared Dudley for that corny commercial they made because Rick ":crythe world needs to know I'm gay:cry" Welts
had hurt feelings

[Capt Bringdown]

Noah: 29 minutes, 0 for 4, 1 point
Dude just got topped by Miami and he's engaging in insult wars with fans: classy.

[crc21209]

:lol Fucking classless idiot...

[lefty]

Didnt Jordan call Kwame a flaming faggot?

[crc21209]

Didnt Jordan call Kwame a flaming faggot?

It's Jordan, he gets a free pass...:lol

[ElNono]

Kobe had to apologize because he works on a market full of queers... (including teammate Paulina and his sore vajeje)...

Plus everybody knows Noah smokes a doobie before every game, so it's only logical he would have a reaction like that...

[DJ Mbenga]

Didnt Jordan call Kwame a flaming faggot?

its widely known he did but it was in practice with no cameras around. no damage done publicly

[koriwhat]

who gives a shit?... oh yeah, wanda sykes does!

[Leetonidas]

The word "faggot" doesn't even mean homosexual unless you're calling a gay person a faggot.

[NRHector]

People we are better than this

[rayjayjohnson]

does noah even have $100K?

looks like he's spent all his money on rocks

[rayjayjohnson]

...and the irony of the son of a french tennis player calling someone a faggot is too much

[ALVAREZ6]

A-mother-fucking-men.

Only a fucking faggot would be offended by the word faggot.

I also hate the commercials about not using the word "gay". Shut your dumb ass up Wanda.

lol I agree with you ...but then again, who else other than black people would be offended by the word n*gger?

[rayjayjohnson]

faggot said in real anger is a pretty nasty and hurtful word.

faggot used in the context of the internet is, by and large, hilarious (except on 4chan, fuck those faggots).

perhaps the internet needs a new word whilst retaining it's hilarity. maybe phaggot?

[Jacob1983]

How many gay people have said the n-word?

[LakerHater]

How many gay people have said the n-word?
:lol... My 2 yr old Nefew calls my dog Snicker, ######!

edit: not sure if I cant write that word, if not I apologize.

[rayjayjohnson]

How many gay people have said the n-word?

Usher, for starters

[lefty]

its widely known he did but it was in practice with no cameras around. no damage done publicly
Well, he did destroy Kwame's career

[lefty]

It's Jordan, he gets a free pass...:lol
Yes he does :hat

[rayjayjohnson]

again, the irony of faggot as an insult rears it's head.

lol jordan calling someone a faggot and owning the bobcats.

[4>0rings]

Usher, for starters
Na, he's hetero. He tried to hit on my sister and she told him to get lost. :lmao

[rayjayjohnson]

diddy then

I guess they need to do another commercial with "faggot"

[BRHornet45]

sons TMZ is the only website who reports this type of shit because the owner of TMZ loves sucking cock. that's the truth.

[jag]

:lol

What a faggot

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

After that shitty stat line you know that Heat fan is somewhere telling anyone who will listen that he got into Noah's head, not that he's hurt that Noah called him names. It's in poor taste but so is Joaquim's hair, wardrobe, and jumpshot so unless the league wants to fine him for those too then let this slide with a warning.

[ElNono]

Didn't Kori say she received complains about people using that slur around here?

[ploto]

Talked about both on Sports Center and First Take. Many think he will get an even bigger fine than Kobe because he is second and it was a fan.

I just wonder why only this slur and why only this word? Many things players, coaches, and fans are caught saying are offensive to someone.

[hater]

hit him where it hurts. Reduce his herb intake from 1/2 pound a day to a gram a day

Very Pro-Gay/Pro-Laker Hollywood NBA entertainment industry has to cow tow to the people who run it.

:wow

Was it Ace complaining? :lol

[LkrFan]

Looks like Noah got fined $50K. That will show him. :rolleyes


MIAMI -- Chicago Bulls (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=chi) center Joakim Noah (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3224/joakim-noah) was fined $50,000 for directing an anti-gay slur toward a fan during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
That's half the fine that Kobe Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/110/kobe-bryant) of the Los Angeles Lakers (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=lal) received for using the same slur when yelling at a referee last month. NBA spokesman Tim Frank said that the two situations were different.
"Kobe's fine included discipline for verbal abuse of a game offical," he said.
Noah apologized again for the comment, while two major advocacy groups called upon the league to sanction Noah.
Noah and NBA officials met Monday morning. Noah said he emerged from that talk prepared to "pay the price" for what happened when he returned to the bench with two fouls midway through the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the Miami Heat (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=mia).
"The fan said something that was disrespectful towards me," Noah said. "And I went back at him. Got it on camera. I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. Anybody who knows me knows that I'm not like that. I'm an open-minded guy. I said the wrong thing and I'm going to pay the consequences -- deal with the consequences -- like a man. I don't want to be a distraction to the team right now."

[FkLA]

Na, he's hetero. He tried to hit on my sister and she told him to get lost. :lmao

pics of ur sister are required tbh

[rayjayjohnson]

lol 50k.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe's fine and Noah's fine were both excessive..it's an offensive word, but it's still just a word, and the people that were targeted probably weren't even homosexuals, tbh..

I understand Kobe's fine being worse though, he's a repeat offender, in regards to off-court incidents..

[Red Hawk #21]

lol fining someone $50,000 just for saying a word
lol nba
lol annoying ass league

[4>0rings]

Tbh, faggot is the polictically correct word to use when insulting a gay.

[ohmwrecker]

The only reason he got fined is because it was caught on camera. He should be able to say whatever he wants to some asshole fan, tbh.

Kobe disrespected an official. Also, he's Kobe.

[Donkeybong]

lol, what a double standard

[ohmwrecker]

lol, what a double standard

No. A loud, obnoxious (probably drunk) fan and an NBA official are not the same.

[Donkeybong]

please shut the fuck up

[ohmwrecker]

:cry

[Banzai]

100,000$ for calling an official a fag.
50,000$ for calling a fan a fag.

[HarlemHeat37]

Again, Kobe is a repeat off-court offender..

[cobbler]

Noah repeat off court offender as well. Idiotic argument as usual.

[HarlemHeat37]

Yes, which is why his fine was $50 000..Kobe's fine was even more, because of the severity and the amount of times in which he has been involved in incidents..

If this involved a clean player, such as a Lebron or Wade or Duncan, the fine probably would have been $15-20 000 IMO.

[Spursfan092120]

I7hQN4Amaeg

[Spursfan092120]

tbh they said Kobe was fined more because it was also "verbal abuse of an official." We don't know the whole story..what the fan said to him. Supposedly he said something about his mother..and had been doing it repeatedly in the game. The players backed him up on that.

[CubanSucks]

"faggot" is the new "######", just replace the history of the word's origin from hundreds of years of slavery with "######" to a few lynchings and laws against them marrying with "faggot"

no one should be offended by any word, just the hatred from the person behind it. tbh, the only reason the word "faggot" is so offensive to so many is because the faggots themselves are so overly dramatic


Was it Ace complaining? :lol

judging from your faggy ass posts earlier in the thread it was probably you, faggot.

Nope... wrong again! Just embarrassing on your part.

Except that's not what the league said. According to league spokesman Tim Frank, the offenses were different. "Kobe's fine included discipline for verbal abuse of a game official," he said.

"Kobe's fine included discipline for verbal abuse of a game official," NBA spokesman Mark Broussard said.

[HarlemHeat37]

If he wasn't a repeat offender, his fine would have been cut in half..

[Kyle Orton]

lol David Stern logic

Verbally abusing an innocent fan isn't as bad as talking shit about (not to) an official from the bench. The way he protects his refs is disgusting.
