PoS fan who harassed Westbrook

[fishonjazz]

I wonder how this guy got court-side seats. Interested to see how this plays out.

One way I believe you get seats to a game is by buying them. Could be how he got them.

Why do you think that is?

That black athletes are more likely to make accusations against a predominantly white fanbase?

I would say yes.

So, you dont know what was said but you're sure:
"There is NOTHING racist about what was said"


Ok.

I know what Russ said he heard, and there is nothing racist about that

Possibly, but that doesn't mean the accusations have no merit to them. Indiana has a predominantly white fan base and I haven't heard anything levied against their fan base.

You don't see how a black man would construe being told to "get on your knees" as possibly being racist?

Only if the black man was looking hard to find something racist about it. It is much more of a sexual comment to anyone that is reasonable.

White suburban male confirmed.

Good point. I haven't heard anything about Indiana either. I wouldn't though even if their fans were having these same accusations as I don't really pay much attention to non jazz related NBA stuff.

Here's my thoughts:

1. The dude is obviously a racist, based on his social media.
2. I suppose you could get to "Get on your knees" being a racist comment, given that would put the kneeler in a submissive position. It's a little bit of a stretch to say that it was based on a single interaction, tho.
3. Westbrook is a jackass making millions of dollars, and is purposfully in the public eye.
4. While Westbrook is smallish for an NBA player, he's still large for a human being - 6'3". This makes threats from him more credible and serious.
5. The fan should be banned for the rest of the season, maybe for a full year.
6. Westbrook should be suspended for at least 1 game, probably 3.

That’s what I thought but I’m kinda naive... it isn’t a stretch to consider a comment like that as racist... I just wanted more of an explanation cuz I’m dumb. Like he’s down on his hands and knees working for a white dude?

IDK if that’s what was said it’s an ugly comment... russ’s Comments were obviously ugly too.

I’m not gonna defend anyone here... they all wrong.

Maybe you can explain it. I think I have seen 3 or 4 people in here say it's racist but none have said why. I think most of us (me anyway) truly don't know why it's racist. To be it refers to fellatio. That's the only thing that I can see it referring to.

Kneeling is a sign of submission. It is THE sign of submission!
