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

shut the fukk up

We will resist any attempt by the gay militant mafia to poison us with their filth.

Nothing wrong with what he said.

Most of Y'all are right, "No Homo" isn't a gay slur, but still him using it is unprofessional, and goes further than him just trying to "Let people know he aint gay"

Really, you think it was necessary for him to throw a No Homo in a publicized worldwide interview on national TV after saying "Lebron Stretched me out"? People knew what he meant, this isn't some conversation with your boys where they might clown you for saying some borderline gay shyt... Fact is, he cursed, used a phrase that could offend people (no matter if everyone takes it that way or not) and even had an abrasive, careless attitude about it by saying "I don't care if I get fined". He should know how to be professional, and realize that saying shyt like that is just gonna stir up some controversy and bring unwanted and unnecessary attention to him and his organization, before the biggest game possible.

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

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

It's insinuating that being gay is such a terrible thing, that the person has to go out of their way to point out that saying something as simple as "These nuts taste really good" doesn't mean he's a homosexual.

Look mayne...

1) i'm willing to bet most of that was more the MF-bomb than "No homo"...

2) ...still, if that interview was on just a little later at night just on NBA TV - a pay channel - there would be nothing wrong with it. They said and did much worse on The Sopranos, Dexter, and The Wire - and people love those shows.

3) That's a lot of money, yo.

4) Y'all talmbat "he needs to be more professional" need to quit. The dudes' profession is athletics, he's not a press secretary. I'd love to see what y'all would say if you put some of these cameras in baseball dugouts...

5) While reading this thread, I realized something funny/not funny...If "Rapper's Delight" or "The Message" came out today, they wouldn't get any play...because Hank said he supposed that Superman was "a fairy" and perhaps a cross-dresser. And somebody on "The Message" got a job as an "undercover f-g".

Homo is a gay slur in 2013. You tell someone "hey, you homo", gay folks get offended. So going out of your way to say "no homo" in a live, televised press conference, then stop what you're saying and laugh at it, drawing attention to it, is going to be interpreted as a very anti-gay gesture. He wasn't simply proclaiming that he like women, and even if he was, there was no place for that in the press conference, its irrelevant. I'm sure most of the media folks weren't even aware that "no homo" is a phrase like that in the Hop Hop community and just took it for face value of what it was: going out of his way to interrupt his basketball answer to make a crude reference to shytting on homosexuality.

If he would've just said "pause" or "ayo" instead, I doubt they would've even picked up on it and it'd be a non-issue. He still would've gotten fined for his other comment but he knew that was coming.

I just now saw the actual press conference. this nikka got fined 75K for saying "no homo"?????? :what: :wtf:

I was totally expecting him to use the word faq or fakkit.

I mean would they fine him if he said "pause" too?????

last I checked, that shyt was on TNT which is on cable. and obviously a pay channel as well. this wasn't TNT fining him. this was stern.

This is actually the crazy thing to me- you can utter a phrase using the words retard and redskin and the fine would not have been a 5th of that amount.

And to those saying that blacks are actually just jealous of these homo's and how far they've come- far from it. 1.) We just dont like them falsely drawing parallels between our 400 year struggle and their battles. 2.) We also cant appreciate their 'struggle' when it appears that almost all the media outlets and big organizations are behind them, or at least afraid to criticize them.


But real talk, Im in NYC and most of these gay dudes could care less about all this shyt. In fact, they're a pretty resilient group- and sometimes viscious- they don't need your approval. It seems that the only people making a stink about no homo are a bunch of sensitive cac's

Plus I don't like the fact that they love making examples out of black male celebrities more than anyone else. Isaiah Washington, Tim Hardaway, Tracy Morgan, Roy Hibbert, the guy from the 49ers, Roland Martin, etc. Let's not act like they're the only ones saying some messed up stuff.
