Bawse dawg turning this into a stereotype is hysterical. Get out of here with that. Lets find out what really happened and get the guy banned if he did indeed cross the line with something racial.

This type of **** makes me not even want to follow sports anymore. **** this moron. I can't even enjoy Jazz basketball without being labeled a racist and my team can't get free agents because of stereotypes. Takes the fun out of it and once again political ******** seeps into everything.

What's your point? Utah is Mormon compared to Indiana - alright, great. So black players have bad things to say about playing the Jazz in Utah not because the fanbase is predominantly white - but because of the strong Mormon contingent? Just explicitly state your point instead of talking in vague terms.

I was responding to a post that suggested that fans everywhere in the league heckle the players - implying that somehow all the accusations levied against our fanbase are false.

Sorry, I didn't mean to post that. I wrote something, didn't like it, and then moved onto another post and it came along for the ride. Some feature of the forum software I guess.

My point would have been that the Jazz fanbase is unique because of the "Utah" name. The players probably have assumptions about the Utah crowd, just like a lot of people have ideas about the people that live here, for better or worse. I'm not blaming them for it, whatever. But the players coming in here are probably more sensitive to these things than if they were playing in some other random place like Indiana. If there are more allegations about the fans here, it may not be that our fanbase is more/less racist... because this place is different.

That said, I'm sure there are racists here just like anywhere else. If the twitter stuff is true, this guy sure seems to be a racist. The only racist comment I (ever) remember personally hearing in Utah was about native Americans... and just thinking about it now is making me furious again.

Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
