Orr said that he called Smart a piece of crap. Smart pulled the race card. A go-pro video surfaces that backs up Orr's claim, but dismisses Smart's. Orr has voluntarily suspended himself for the rest of the season, and Smart just looks like a bitter douchebag.

For all of you babies that are crying about fans and the things they say, I want you to dead seriously ask yourself if you've not done the exact same thing? You've never called an opposing player a "piece of crap" or worse? Really? Exactly. Get off your high horse, because you look/sound like a complete *** hat.

Never have @ a game. I leave that kind of stuff to television watching.

Still on high horse, or am I on a medium one now?

I love chanting "scolas greasy" when we used to play the rockets, and other fans would chant it with me. Pretty funny.

I once threw a nerf football onto the court from the second to last row in the upper bowl. they had to stop the game and then announced over the PA that if objects are thrown onto the court then the fan will be ejected.

I abuse the refs way more than the players however. Imagine the crap the refs have to put up with. I dont see refs attacking anybody
 
I bet soccer players in other countries think being called a piece of crap or whatever is childs play

It's true. I don't antagonize players verbally at games. I think it in my head, and maybe 'boo' at some actions that displease me (which is far less harmful imo), but that's about it.

I realize this is sports and way different than real life, but verbally abusing a twenty year old in other setting would have gotten that guy's *** kicked.

But Smart shouldn't have did what he did. And going by past behavior imma speculate he's exaggerating this one.
 
The fan has come out and said he is self banning himself from attending anymore games this year.

I would say this is a case where both parties acted poorly and they will both take their lumps for it.

Should be the end of the story IMO, but I'm sure ESPN will do what they can to make this the talk of everything for the next week.

Would not be one bit surprised to see something racist or offensive thrown out there. Pro and amateur athletes take a daily heckling from fans who would never say something to their face mano y mano. I'm frankly surprised more doesn't happen more often.

I have an olive complexion and only made it as far as playing high school basketball. On road games, I'd have both students and parents calling me names repeatedly. They'd confuse me with being Spanish because they are clueless idiots (mom is from India). This forum will block most of what they would call me, but every single Mexican racial insult you can imagine was thrown at me. Never went after one, but I would literally hope those people would die on their car ride home.

I was a white kid from Utah, who played 4 positions at times, and regularly guarded the PF or took the 3 or 4 spot on zone, and then brought the ball up the court as PG. It made for some fun matchup issues and I took advantage where I could, and sometimes I was viewed as a dirty player. Obviously I was not and was just a wonderfully clean kid, angelic really. :o As a result I got called names regularly, things that I guarantee you would never hear those people say in any other context. One in particular, we had gone to the SLC to play an out of conference game. My cousins lived near there, and I wanted to spend the weekend. It was cool with my parents as long as I went to church with them on Sunday. We played Friday night and during the game I got into it with some guy that looked a little like that fan that went at Smart. He was saying some seriously vile ****, of course I amped up the dirty play because I was a smart-*** teen, and I picked up a T for holding after a made basket or something, stuff like that, but he took it to another level. I believe he used the C word and the F word flowed freely. It was genuinely fun to go to church that Sunday and see the guy stand up to conduct stake business as the high councilman apparently. I went up to the podium after and said "hey no hard feelings buddy", thanked him for his service in the church, and shook his hand. The look on his face was unbelievable. You would have thought Jesus himself had just called him out in front of the entire group during sacrament meeting for ************. Priceless.
