JR Smith - when you're in Utah people shout the "N" word.

That could've been me, I've been known to yell that usually at refs but every once in awhile when a player shoots FT's.

So because Cooper with the PA Eagles said it, who went to FL Gators that means UT fans who attend the games that are by majority white said the word, yeah ok sure.

Also anybody who went to the Jazzfanz night out many years ago knows that one of my friends who attended had several too many to drink said the F word and he was warned the first time and by the 2nd one they escorted him out. Also yes I stayed, finished watching the game, I warned him too cool it and that we would stay and finish the game.

I have been thrown out before too and I never said the N word. That's going to far and I would assume anyone yelling that loud enough for the players on the court to hear would get removed from the game
 
I wish people in Utah will not say n words. Please learn from ancestors it not nice. I hear in Utah everyone can say" you "n" word!" And everyone can laugh and point. I hop if I can come there no one can say you mean words for me. This is my thought as
No thank you.

It's nice to see this isn't getting much press (so far), but the few places it is I'm stunned there are morons out there who actually agree with a first class jagoff like Smith.

Anyone who believes him has a serious IQ deficit. They are about as dumb as it gets.

I mean think of how this logically would have to work for him to hear this at the FT line:

1) Whoever said it would have to pretty much yell it to compete with everyone else yelling when a visiting player shoots a FT.

2) No mics have ever picked it up as far as I know. There are no youtube videos out there of people saying it.

3) Nobody else in the key waiting for the rebound has ever commented on it, from other Jazz players (many who are black) to other NBA players (the only ones I've ever heard say anthying else are Stephen Jackson and Jason Richardson, but not during FTs), to the refs.

Yet everyone should take the guy who killed one of his friends driving recklessly and who is a cheap shot artist on the court word seriously for some reason.

I hate to say it but its 100% true. It makes me ****ing sick to hear some of the things that idiots yell. I hate hate hate anything personal or derogatory yelled at sporting events. I personally even don't like things as mild as "you suck", its just stupid to me.

Are you saying you've heard the "N" word or just derogatory comments or name calling? While not appropriate, name calling is not necessarily racist. It could just be yelled at someone because they're the "enemy", regardless of color.
 
I call B S on this claim. I have been a season ticket holder since the Salt Palace and have been on the floor level for the past 10 years. I have heard plenty of yelling, razzing, and taunting of players, but I have never heard anyone yell out the N word. Overall I have heard worse language from players on the court that I have from the crowd. I have also seen several players react in a variety of ways to the crowd. I particularly like it when a player takes the ball and does a punishing dunk right after being razzed and then comes back and smiles or banters back with the fan.
