Patty Mills subjected to racial taunts during Sunday's game against Cavs

11:06 AM CT

ESPN

Spurs (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/sa/san-antonio-spurs) guard Patty Mills (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4004/patty-mills) was subjected to racially insensitive taunts Sunday during San Antonio's road game in Cleveland.
Mills took to Twitter late Sunday night to respond to a fan who posted a video clip of the incident, saying that he hoped to "enlighten this confused, hateful fan."
Thanks @thats_Z_Truth (https://twitter.com/thats_Z_Truth?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw). I am a proud Islander. Like my Jamaican Brothers, me & my family in the islands of the Torres Strait have experienced racial slurs for decades. Hope your efforts will enlighten this confused, hateful fan. #BlackHistoryMonth (https://twitter.com/hashtag/BlackHistoryMonth?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)https://t.co/yH3nKlGv4A
— Patrick Mills (@Patty_Mills) February 26, 2018 (https://twitter.com/Patty_Mills/status/967981243253092353?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

The incident occurred late in the fourth quarter of San Antonio's 110-94 victory Sunday afternoon over the Cleveland Cavaliers (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-cavaliers).
Mills was at the free-throw line with 2:29 remaining in the contest when the fan could be heard yelling, "Hey Jamaican dog, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!"
Mills, a native of Australia who is black, was not asked about the taunts after the game. His father is a Torres Strait Islander and his mother is an Aboriginal Australian.

[Chinook]

Mills doesn't consider himself black, though.

[UZER]

Oh that's just great. Now he'll be a Spur until he's 50.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Yeah that's unfortunate, crude people exist and always will. Pop doesn't get that though and thinks we can live in this perfect utopia

[SpurPadre]

Ok, you can criticize his game and his salary but someone here has to defend him on this one. Come on now.

[dabom]

No surprise. People do it here all the fucking time.

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smilol.gif despite being a serious matter, that was funny as fuck

[MarCowMar]

Ok I hate to be the clueless white guy, but can someone explain to me what is racist about the comment? It reads like pretty standard heckling.


"Hey Jamaica called, they want their bobsledder back. Hey Mills, Jamaica just called, they want their bobsledder back!"

Is it racist because they assumed he was from Jamaica? Is bobsledding racist? If someone said to Steve Nash: "Hey Nash, Iceland called and they want their curler back!" would that be racist?

"Hey Jamaican DOG" sounds pretty racist to me.

[cd98]

I thought it was funny. People are too sensitive. And “Dog” was not meant as some burn. Some people call people dogs. It’s sad when this becomes a national story and the speech police intervene. NBA is so woke, the fan probably gets a lifetime ban and the NBA probably bans me for saying it’s funny.

[Strategic]

Wondering if George Soros bought ST?

[SPURt]

I had seen the story before this thread was started, hilarious title! Had me laughing butt off! :toast

[boutons_deux]

A white asshole addressing a non-white as an animal? Yep, that's racist, that'a OHio.

[K...]

Seriously though, cut the hair

Didn't the baseline bums used to throw bananas at black players?

tbh.

[hater]

Dog? Isnt that a brotha lingo? The fan was probly black :lmao

And cool runnings? Thats a fucking old ass movie, the fan was probably Kawhis uncle

[DAF86]

It doesn't sound like he said "hey Jamaican dog". It sounds like " hey, Jamaica called". I don't know what "bobsledder" refers to, but if it's something related to Mills' hair I could see the comment being funny, tbh. :lol

[dabom]

I heard dog. Racist fucks.

[Trill Clinton]

flat out racist and uncalled for. i just saw a black hockey player go through racist taunting last week. its sad we still have white supremacists with this mentality in 2018. i hope they ban that guy from the arena.

[phxspurfan]

Cool Runnings was a Disney movie in the early 90s about the Jamaican Bobsled team. Geez you guys were born yesterday lol

[cd98]

Dog? Isnt that a brotha lingo? The fan was probly black :lmao

Yes, depending on his age, dog was used to refer to your best friend (your human best friend).

[cd98]

Cool Runnings was a Disney movie in the early 90s about the Jamaican Bobsled team. Geez you guys were born yesterday lol

No kidding. When everything becomes racist, it dilutes true racism.

[DAF86]

Cool Runnings was a Disney movie in the early 90s about the Jamaican Bobsled team. Geez you guys were born yesterday lol

I saw that movie. I saw it in Spanish though, so I didn't know what bobsled meant. I googled it and still don't get in what why would that relate to Mills. I'm guessing is something related to Patty's hair, but then the dude could have used any type of Jamaican reference.

The dude probably only knows three things about Jamaica: Pot, dreads, and Cool Running. He went w/ 2 of the 3. Dude is just having some fun at a game. But fun police won't allow fun.

Yup. Unfortunately there are a lot of idiots in the world. That will never stop either. But there are a lot of good people too.

James tells them everything is racist what do you expect

[Russo21]

Little brown aboriginal gollywog should get over it. The abos are so sensitive :depressed

[hater]

Given that racist backwards aussies treat aborigins as less than dogs back home Patty has probably taken it as a compliment

[MarCowMar]

It's pretty clear from the recording the fan said "Jamaica called". Dog doesn't even make sense in the context of the sentence.

"Hey Mills, Jamaica dog and want their bobsledder back."

This is a standard insult template:

"Hey [PERSON], [PLACE/ORGANIZATION] called and wants their [SOMETHING YOU HAVE/ARE] back." For example, "The 1980's called and want their foreign policy back."

Isn't this reaching? I say this as a guy who acknowledges that "thug" is frequently used to imply the n-word. I can't get a straight answer here so I'll keep polling my SJW friends and acquaintances till I can find one who's been triggered by the situation but still coherent.

[tholdren]

Who cares?

[dbestpro]

An aborigine is compared to a Jamaican and that becomes a KKK issue. .................There is only one race. ...............the Human Race.

[AFMadison]

Cleveland a very liberal city, not surprised by the racist remarks.

[tenbeersbold]

Lol complete non issue, damn left PC fascist bumholes
Embarrassing for the weak minds,Patty needs to go,dumb on court and off

[Spurtacular]

So, Mills is a snowflake at the end of the day. I guess that happens if you spend enough time with Pop.

[Stabula]

Someone said something racist oh no whatever will we do

[AaronY]

Yeah that's unfortunate, crude people exist and always will. Pop doesn't get that though and thinks we can live in this perfect utopia
Lol Popovich attack crowbarred in there. so desperate

Nah... U don't get to enslave ppl... Put them through decades of lynching and terrorism, teach them the they're subhuman, and make them third class citizens then crack jokes at them and say to get over it... Doesn't work that way

[Spurtacular]

What genocide. Be specific.

Of course everyone knew that shit was racist. You have to be a fucking faggot to think otherwise. :lol

[Vito Corleone]

BTW has anyone seen Patty's GF? She is a big girl, probably taller than him looks like a basketball player with thighs like a runningback. Not ugly, but definitely a woman for a big man.

[cd98]

Nah... U don't get to enslave ppl... Put them through decades of lynching and terrorism, teach them the they're subhuman, and make them third class citizens then crack jokes at them and say to get over it... Doesn't work that way

What that guy said is definitely the moral equivalent of lynching and terrorism and definitely would have made a person feel subhuman.

[spurraider21]

lol turning this around on pop


Lol Popovich attack crowbarred in there. so desperate
yeah, Pop in the Spurs Forum is like Hillary in the political forum

[Isitjustme?]

Dang this KKK maybe not as bad as i been hearing

[cd98]

Dang this KKK maybe not as bad as i been hearing

Yes because I think they verified that the Cav fan actually was a member of the KKK. It’s amazing how all these KKK people are all of sudden appearing all around us after being in hiding for decades.

Ohio's most liberal city

On one prominent corner of downtown Oberlin is Oberlinn’s First Church -- literally. A banner with the image of Joseph, Mary and and Jesus proclaims – in English and Spanish -- that immigrants and refugees are welcome. Across the street – one historic plaque that notes that the town’s resistance to slave catchers earned it the description as ‘The town that started the Civil War.’
Oberlin is the first city in Ohio to turn Columbus Day into Indigenous People's Day. It's home to the first co-ed and interracial college (https://www.oberlin.edu/about-oberlin/oberlin-history) in the country, which gives the town of about 8,300 an outsized national – and very liberal -- reputation.

Should've just made it a lifetime ban and and actually send a message, a review in one year doesn't say very much tbh.

If I'm ever unfortunate enough to be attacked, I hope it's verbally.

[cd021]

I have a lot of Virginia experience tbh; Charlottesville is overwhelming progressive, point is that it doesn't matter where it is, there are going to be racist assholes there, granted the Unite the White protesters were almost exclusively from southern states that came up to bitch about a traitor having his statue removed.

[cd98]

so we're shocked that white people are being themselves publicly now?

Yes, you'd think people would be tired of stereotypes, but people keep them going.

:lol The city is only liberal because the majority of the population is black. When assessing if an area is liberal you have to also factor in the metro area. Cleveland's metro area is working class white.

[sasaint]

To me the story is 50Mills. Whatever you may think of his contract or his play this year, his response was the response of a classy man. He did himself, his family his heritage and the Spurs organization proud.

:toast

[MarCowMar]

The jerk store called, and they're running out of you.

Calling me names doesn't help me understand what you're feeling, or bring me closer to seeing this issue your way. How is comparing Mills to a Jamaican bobsledder racist?

Most of the sports racism makes sense to me. I get "thug" being code for the N word. I get "black lives matter" because blacks regularly encounter institutionalized racism. I get "brings his lunch pail" being a subtle dig at non-white players. I get that black players are often appreciated for their physical prowess whereas whites often have their intelligence emphasized. I get kneeling for the anthem to try and bring about awareness and change. I get that the media and fans have a different standard of conduct for black players. But this Jamaican bobsledding thing? I'm not understanding it, at all.

[UZER]

It was a joke about his Jamaican looking hair. I think this is being blown out of proportion.

[cd021]

What's the message? That the players are thin skinned? People will find other ways to spend their money, then.

You say something racist to a player and it can be proven then it should be a lifetime ban. Boston has had issues recently where people have thrown bananas or shouted something racist from the stands in baseball, it started up a whole discussion about Boston's long racist history and gave the team unwanted press.

[ElNono]

This just proves Poop was right, tbh, racist country...

[ceperez]

Mills doesn't consider himself black, though.

That would make sense because Australian aborigines are more different genetically than Europeans are from Africans.

[callo1]

Seems like more of an uninformed ignorant comment than a racist one. Only the guy responsible for the ignorance could answer that question though.

Patty had a good game, and the fan essentially acknowledged it by verbally going after him.

[Spurtacular]

You say something racist to a player and it can be proven then it should be a lifetime ban.

How is it racist if you're regarding nationality?

Also, calling Patty a Jamaican dog is akin calling a scruffy white guy a dirty hippy. It ain't shit. So, :lol at your anything ban let alone a lifetime ban. I never took you for such a snowflake, tbh.

Sure, Before we get into this, please know I have my masters in Aborginal history and indigenous anthropology

We can go by state if you like.

Lets start with Tasmania

In 1820 the Governor General of Tasmania declared martial law on indigenous people of Tasmania. A cordon of 2200 milita moved from the north coast to the south coast, they titled themselves the black line and moved across the state over 12 years exterminating aboriginal people. Till a population of 148, from 7,000 in 12 years. The remaining 148 mostly elderly, woman and children were relegated to flinders island where disease killed all but 15 of them.

As of today Tasmania Aboriginals are classed as extinct. Prior to British settlement. The number of Palawa was 17000, in less than 50 years they were gone.

Broadly speaking the Indigenous population of Australia was 1,250,000 prior to British settlement in 1788, by 1900 that number was at 50,000.

thankfully today that number is now at 410,000. Full blooded ATSI numbers are around 75,000.

there is a series of documentaries about this topic if your interested.
