You stay classy Argentina

We´ll stay classy...
while you keep on killing Women and children in Irak...

That coming from a country that actively gave asylum to nazi war criminals after WWII.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Anyone that shouts racial slurs to a player for any reason is an ignorant SOB no matter what country he comes from. This one happened to be Argentinian. A word of advise though, don't be a hypocrite. The US is full of racism, so don't start calling out all Argentina for what a few jackasses did.

yes. he is correct we have our share of racists

Very true, and if they shout racial slurs at a basketball game, they too should be shown the way out.

Yes which explains the overwhelming support for the war by the US people.

[Oh, Gee!!]

[rasho8]

Hey... if people can throw bananas and flares at black soccer players they can use racial slurs against basketball players right?

Id love to just talk basketball but you and some of your countrymen seem to think that your style of basketball is the only "proper" way to play and I have a big problem with that.

so then you are ok with someone using a racial slur.

[ALVAREZ6]

How did you know it was a racial slur if you couldn't hear it well or understand it?



BTW, as ManuMania said, this happens everywhere. Don't let me begin to tell you the racism I here.

[ArgSpursFan]

so then you are ok with someone using a racial slur.

whoever says that never used or said a racial statment in his/her life is lying,and that goes to everybody,not just white people,it goes to blacks,Spanishs,Asians,Eastern/Western Europeans etc.

So let´s not start with the ¨I´m the best person on earth¨
statements

PLEASEEEEEEEE

[samikeyp]

man... that was tough... u guys gotta cool down... there's no proof the Argentinean fans said anything yet!!!

[Mister Sinister]

Gaaaaahhh! This thread ing fails!

[Pero]

All of this is irrelevant. What is relevant however, is, who is that girl in Slo Spurs Fan`s sig???????

[JamStone]

I'll take a few racial slurs being shouted by fans over the alternative of what happens at most international soccer games, from trying to kill the referees to taking lead pipes to fans of the opposing team.

I think there have been fans of American teams in the NBA that have shouted "rapist" at Kobe as well. Right or wrong, I don't think the Argentines were the first to yell that at Kobe.

As for racial slurs, you have to consider the source and the environment. I think things like this are more common in international settings among crazed and sometimes drunk fans. If you take it for what it is and with a grain of salt, you might be able to just leave it for what it is, rowdy, compe ive, spirited cheering that is in poor taste.

Pay me millions of dollars a year and you can kick me in the balls once a week.

They make more money in their careers than most of those people will make in 20 lifetimes. As long as it is just words who cares. Words only affect the weak.

[ShoogarBear]

I can't believe ArgSpursFan posted in this thread at all. He was probably the one yelling the racial slurs.

I'm referring to slurs being said at a basketball game sweetie, not the war in Iraq(spelled correctly with a q) and don't EVER ing assume all Americans agree with it, that is so damn stupid and a cheap shot. Keep to the subject at hand. I don't care if you call people es, assholes, s, s whatever but show respect by not hurling slurs thats all. is that so difficult to understand and these argentinians live in Vegas, who diss on the US and live here at the same time?

I guess everyone did not read the last part of my first post,

Theres nothing wrong with compe ion, slurs are not necessary!!
