Didn't Kori say she received complains about people using that slur around here?
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.
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.
Was it Ace complaining?
Looks like Noah got fined $50K. That will show him.
LINKMIAMI -- Chicago Bulls center 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 of the Los Angeles Lakers 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.
"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."
pics of ur sister are required tbhNa, he's hetero. He tried to hit on my sister and she told him to get lost.
lol 50k.
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 sexuals, tbh..
I understand Kobe's fine being worse though, he's a repeat offender, in regards to off-court incidents..
lol fining someone $50,000 just for saying a word
lol nba
lol annoying ass league
Tbh, got is the polictically correct word to use when insulting a gay.
The only reason he got fined is because it was caught on camera. He should be able to say whatever he wants to some asshole fan, tbh.
Kobe disrespected an official. Also, he's Kobe.
lol, what a double standard
No. A loud, obnoxious (probably drunk) fan and an NBA official are not the same.
please shut the up
100,000$ for calling an official a .
50,000$ for calling a fan a .
Again, Kobe is a repeat off-court offender..
Noah repeat off court offender as well. Idiotic argument as usual.
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.
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.
" got" 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 " got"
no one should be offended by any word, just the hatred from the person behind it. tbh, the only reason the word " got" is so offensive to so many is because the gots themselves are so overly dramatic
judging from your gy ass posts earlier in the thread it was probably you, got.Was it Ace complaining?
"WOW, my eyes are open now! Thanks Grand Hill and other scrub for making me realize how hurtful and offensive I've been to others! These commercials have made such a positive impact on my young and impressionable life!"
nothing in the world causes a bigger "UGH!" andthan those bull ad council jokes that they call commercials
