PoS fan who harassed Westbrook

[Dr. Jones]

lol no i forgot what the bet was about but i opened my big mouth and lost a bet which meant having to change my profile name. i think it started from something like "call yourself Douchebag ok ?" and got shortened to Douchebag K .. sad

but no reference to Duke I live half a world away so don't care for colllege hoops. Although i do remember watching Christian Laetner's game winner all those years ago.

Stfu.
I hate you.

What was your prior handle?

I think:

A. A lot of Utahns live with blinders on. For example, I recently attended a school board meeting in a major school district in the salt lake valley. The start of the meeting began with one of the principals of the high schools giving a vocal Mormon prayer. This is... odd. To say the least. And doesn’t create an environment of inclusivity. But few present showed any discomfort. If was as if this was “business as usual.”

B. Had anyone brought this issue up, many present would’ve become defensive. This typically happens in this state when anyone dares bring up issues of religion or race. As we’re seeing on this board and listening to on the radio, some take these criticisms of our state way too personally. I remember posting about racism at the arena a few weeks ago and was blasted on this board. Oops.

Guess it’s time we’re gonna finally address it, right? Now that the franchise just saw one of its ugliest incidents in history last night? Not good. Let’s try and be a little bit more progressive, shall we? Are the majority of fans racist? Probably not explicitly. Are there some who are? Yes. Does it need to be addressed? Yes. Clearly. We’re earning a bad reputation around the league and destroying the fun atmosphere of the arena.

Great post and your a classy Jazz fan!

It's pretty fascinating, really. Especially the part about how many mormons support Trump. People like this Keisel dude. Church on Sunday, racist on Monday.

The demographic that continues to support trump are non-college educated white males. This guy seems to fit that demographic perfectly.

It’s particularly disgraceful that he attacked Westbrook for verbally assaulting his wife at her first nba game. Maybe... just watch the game next time instead? How hard is it to cheer on your own team? Why are you egging on one of the league’s most volatile players if you’re trying to treat your wife to her first game? If I had courtside seats I’d never waste time talking smack to Westbrook. I’d be too busy enjoying the game and cheering on our guys.

Can you honestly say that you think that there were racist c

So if a person construes any comment as racial, even though its not intended, the person saying the comment is at fault, and not the person taking offense?

Dude, he's MAGA.

 

[sgjazzfan]

Dude, he's MAGA.

From what I've been reading, half of those posts were doctored.

 

[The Thriller]

Dude, he's MAGA.

This isn’t even that hard. On his Facebook he had posts/likes to Fox News, Ben Shapiro, Breitbart, and trump. Clearly he’s MAGA. Why is denouncing racist deplorables so hard for some people? My god

This isn’t hard

Most fans are awesome. We shouldn’t have to defend deplorables to feel good about ourselves. This guy deserves his ban. Most fans are just fine. But the racist ones need to be called out and kicked out if they’re provoking players.

I think in general we need to stop with our napoleanic complex. Let’s stop booing players who left years ago or who we traded away. Why not focus on cheering on our own guys?

Again... you are idiotic to epic proportions. Where do you teach so I can talk to your institution?

Can someone give me the cliff notes on this thread?

So if somebody is "MAGA", he's just a piece of ****? Is that what the consensus is? Isn't this how racism or antisemitism started in the first place? Just labeling a group of people as less than?

Don't act like you are both stereotyping or shaming a group of people and then stereotype and shame a group of people.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Btw.. idiotic isn’t left or right. It’s not even the fringes of the left or right, it’s the “thrillers” that hide in the shadows of left or right. It is idiotic, per se.

Its fine to post racist comments against White people.

No. **** you.

Suffice to say I have posted 20 times for the first time in two years.

Draper Days in Draper, Utah is the summer celebration in the city park and has live music, etc. The organizer of the event feels it's his prerogative to say a mormon prayer in front of the 10,000 or so people attending. I bet half the attendees are not mormon.

 

[idestroyedthetoilet]

I swear only in wierd Utah would people construe someone telling somebody to go suck a dick as racism. This place has little man complex hard, always so quick to go over the top of the guy in front of you to prove this place is normal and just like everywhere else.

- most everybody is fine with the moron getting banned
- anything said can be racist; it depends on the person hearing's interpretation and not necessarily what was said.
- Westbrook really isn't receiving much flack. Most feel he was justified
- Some feel that Utah is doomed forever

Racist banned.
Gobert calls fan activity a circus.
Spida is awesome and defends fans. But also admits that the behavior last night was out of line.
A small group of posters doubt the racism and blame Russell. The #1 am radio in the state blames Russell and essentially claims that the jazz are reacting to national pressure.

That’s about it

Most fans agree with the jazz’s Decision and hope that this type of incident doesn’t repeat.

@Jason you gotta be lovin’ the discourse.

Mostly white people being baby back bitches.

Actually that's not fair. It's really just a few sensitive snowflakes.

You’re on block so don’t expect me to respond to your posts regularly. I revealed posts since there were a ton invisible to me and I was curious. But if you have an issue with my posts, refute them. But the next personal insult you fling will be reported.

I don’t feel West was justified (mainly from a manning up and ignore perspective) and I don’t feel like Utah has any doom from this....
