  This is so stupid, sorry. This fucking country is run by interest groups and personal agenda. Majority means diddly.

  Regardless you can't say that shit. The fine doesn't seem to fit the crime but you can't say that.

  He can say whatever the fuck he wants. Just not on that platform.

  Yea the fine is pretty gay... It is a word people. A WORD.
• j_crazy

  

  Free speech isn't the issue here. You can't say that and expect people not to get upset.

  Honestly I thought it would be more than the 100k Kobe had to pay since it was directed at a fan, the NBA is very image conscious.

  Fan probably deserved it lol.

  I heard that the fan said something derogatory about Noah's mother but you have to keep your cool if your an NBA player, even if it's hard to do.

  Hes gotta be smarter than that. Thats hardly the worst thing that players say during a game. I've sat courtside at a few Cavs games, the word "fag" is G rated compared to some of the things that are said.

  So I guess a bunch of bikers were pissed off?

  Stupid. I have nothing against gay people, but this PC crap is ridiculous.
  
  I have a few gay friends and they even call each other fags.

  Exactly. Just like black people calling other black people niggers, but damn it if a white person does it.
• Hb31187

  

  Never heard a black person call another one a Nigg-ER. At least I dont do it, or ones I know dont do it.
  
  
  And if Noahs remark was to a gay person, then it would be the same as calling a black person a nigger. If not...itd just be like a white guy callin another white guy a nigger...odd, but not offensive IMO

  Pretty sad that using a homosexual slur was the best thing that Noah could come back with when he was arguing with that fan
  
  I'm surprised that he got half the fine that Bryant got though. Just doesn't make sense

  Ur all a bunch of gay fags.
• wildcats20

  

  The NBA's reasoning for why Kobe's fine was twice as much is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in awhile.
  They are saying because Kobe directed his comment at an official, it is worse than directing it at a fan.
  
  Make any sense to you guys? Yeah, me neither.

  Mr. Bass I agree with you on this subject. There have been occassion when I haven't agreed with you especially when you start a gay post with "Dear Justin".

• wkfan

  He should be fined twice that amount just for being Joakim Noah......
• Gardens35

  Chuckle there WK.
• Speedofsand

  

  the fan was asking for it.
  the ref did not talk trash first to Kobe.
  I won't be surprised if the queer gets a fag lawyer and sues Jo, the Bulls, and the NBA for 'emotional distress'.
• queencitybuckeye

  Noah would know.
