Fan suing the Jazz

[vegas]

My thought is the Jazz/Millers are ultra conservative. They would not ban him without pretty damning evidence.

On another note, I thought DJ PK hit it on the nose that in Utah there is a huge desire to be told you are not racist, so we have always loved all the black guys on the Jazz who say good things about Utah--mentioned Antoinne Carr.

I think this is just saying good things overall about the place. Utah has plenty of bad things said about/snickered at it that aren’t anything to do with this. The wives, the nightlife, etc. People love to be negative about the place all while never stepping foot in it.

For instance Colin Cowherd. People here hate his takes on Donovan, but he continually posts how much he loves Park City Utah and the people here, like he did just a few days ago, and people are always going to be welcoming in those mentions to someone who doesn’t come at you with the predetermined conclusion.

I'm still pretty upset that the Jazz didn't do more to Westbrook. Threatened violence against women should not be tolerated. He should have been banned for 5 games for playing in Salt Lake City (or something like that).

What he did could be considered assault and it was on video. I don't care what Kiesel said to him, it was not excusable.

This is how I felt. Russell was there as a professional and should be expected to act professionally. He was fined $25,000 but that clearly wasn't enough because players continue to engage with fans and are threatening to escalate problems. Commissioner Silver needs to channel his inner David Stern and make it clear that players will be held accountable for fan interactions and that it is not worth it to them. Can you imagine how Stern would have acted to players threatening another Malice in the Palace?
Edit: Don't want to make it seem like fan wasn't at fault and didn't deserve the ban. Best case scenario he was a confrontational jerk, worst case he was a confrontational racist.

One thing I'll say here, don't boo Russ when he comes back here. I get he acted out of line, but it's not going to be a good look to boo him after an incident like this even is he acted like an a**hole himself.

Who cares? It's like McDonald's thinking people will stop making fun of them if they "health-ify" their food. No, they're just making the food suck.

I’m not saying don’t boo him at all, I’m simply saying booing him loud at the beginning during lineup intros is a bad look to our guys especially after there were 2 incidents shown that he dealt with at our arena that were pretty bad.

That’s dumb. That is not a bad look. That’s fans being fans. Those two bad instances are the bad look. Are we supposed to cheer him now because of two assholes? Hardly.

No, I would just rather he doesn't get a ridiculous amount of boos due to this incident after he had to deal with a couple pretty ****** experiences in our arena. I never said cheer, but it's not a great look if he gets a lot of boos because of this.

I think he will get the normal amount of boos
