Hibbert fined 75k for innapropriate language

[the cac mamba]

What insinuation? That the frame of reference of your statement is NOT of a homosexual connotation?

It's bullshyt he got fined $75,000 for saying that

im not defending the fine, it is bullshyt. but between saying no homo and then daring stern to fine him, any fine less than 75 makes stern look like a punk.

Lol, but if he got suspended, the Coli would be going crazy. A fine is what I expected, he apologized and he's in game 7. Knicks all day, I just want a competitive series with no players out.

Ok im gonna make a comment on this...

I was just in the Kerry Rhodes thread reading about how athletes dont realize the worth of a dollar stuff...Which brings me to this thread and seeing a man being fined $75,000 for 2 words..2 words...Think about that. Over $37,000 per word, one of them words is only 2 letters, nearly $18,000 a letter

Now obviosly I know the NBA has an image to uphold and a brand to sell and they dont want to come off as an anti gay business but I honestly dont think that (1) there were many gay fans watching at this time that got offended. (2) The gay fans that were watching this interview are presumably already fans and understand the players a little better than to misconstrue what Hibbert said to the point where the boycott the NBA because they think its anti-gay.

iono just putting my two cents in there...im not gay so it would be impossible for me to feel any kind of direct physical hurt from Hibbert saying that but....$75,000 my dudes...75 gs

edit: I just realized how gays are moving in on our sports like this....I know gay people play sports and all but imposing your lifestyle like this its kinda like holdup

it wasnt for tht no homo shyt.. he said mother fukkers too

Right. If he had ONLY said "no homo," the fine may have been avoided altogether.

Hibbert called the reporters "MFers" and said that he did not care abt any resulting fine. He said it with sincerity and a smile! (As a result, I seriously doubt Roy gives a fukk abt the $75k even now.)

--> aq out <--

how the fukk is "no homo" a slur?

Hibbert became my favorite non knick after last night. That press conference will go down with the classic both teams played hard by sheed and AI's practice

 

[Da Jungles]

i swear most of you are anarchist ......he said something out of place and added i dont care if i get fined then got fined and the coli then proceeds to throw a tantrum calling the Sten all kinds of racial slurs.

And that makes sense to you folks?

Bunch of fatherless crack babies in here

Talk about a terrible post

people think I'm joking but there were tons of gay rights websites calling for his suspension. Kind of casual fan Stern is notorious for catering to. I didn't think he'd be suspended, but I also didn't put it out of the realm of possibility.

what the hell is wrong with people it's not like he said fakkits, or I hate gays or something he said "no homo" and they wanted him to be suspended for that

 

[Zach Lowe]

Fined for saying he's straight

 

[mr. smoke weed]

idk. honestly i still havent even seen the no homo vid, all i saw was "you motherfukkers dont watch us all season, i dont care if u fine me". my gut reaction was 'yea theres prolly a fine comin'
