NBA enacting zero-tolerance rules for abusive, hateful fan behavior

[MultiTroll]

"We've added any sexist language or LGBTQ language, any denigrating language in that way, anything that is non-basketball-related," said Jerome Pickett, the NBA's executive vice president and chief security officer. "So 'your mother' comments, talking about your family, talking about test scores, anything non-basketball-related, we've added that in as well as being something that we will go and pull a fan out of the seat and investigate what happened."

:wow

The no defense, snowflake league

He said China to me :cry

Isn't talking trash a part of all sports? It comes naturally to people when they are being competitive and they are passionate. Sure there is a limit but "yo momma" jokes shouldn't be enough to warrant an investigation on a fan...

So no more home games for Utah?

Humans are fundamentally tribalistic animals. We've evolved these complicated, abstract-thinking forebrains, but the ancient midbrain and hindbrain foundation is still there. Competitive sports tend to bring that out in people.

I can just imagine them having to play in an empty arena.

Pretty sure they're one of the welfare NBA teams anyway (that takes revenue from the rev share from teams like NY/BKN/LA).

They already took a team away from Sterling.

Don't care as much about the verbal abuse but seems to me more fans are touching players of late than say 10 years ago.. .maybe I'm wrong but I'm happy for life bans if you do that

agreed

but only a quivering pink vagina could be hurt by words alone. Obviously if a guy is screaming the F or N bomb all game where there are children present needs to be warned and possibly ejected if he keeps it up, but test scores? Wtf?

fuck snowflake faggot kikes, tbh.

[FrostKing]

So the only F & N bombs allowed will be on the court

Interesting backwards logic. The cuck level of someone paying money to go see a bunch of black guys bounce a ball and dance for 2 hours. Not sure if Rap show or NBA.

[timtonymanu]

Adam silver is such a faggot.

[buttsR4rebounding]

So if I show up with a Free Hong Kong shirt now they can eject me since it's not basketball related?

Show us the proof that the Utah fans were abusive, blake.
