Stephen Jackson calls out Utah fans now.

What Westbrook did there was fine imo. Did Westbrook need to call out the whole fan base for being disrespectful and vulgar based off that incident though?

What's he suppose to say? Does he need to approximate the percentage of fans? Everyone knows what he means when he says that. I don't think any logical person is at home thinking "Wow, every single Utah fans is calling Westbrook a ****boi bitch and saying that his mother has chlamydia". They probably just think Utah has a few more a-holes than the typical fanbase, which is probably true.

Like I said at the start. If you are offended by what he said you are probably insecure about something, especially when you bring race into it when Russ never said anything about race.

Westbrook said nothing about race tho. He said fans made disrespectful comments. Which is probably true. Some people make it their job to find racism in everything. /shrug

So he said opposing (jazz) fans were vulgar and disrespectful to him? He should probably say that in every press conference after every road game then.

We are disrespectful and vulgar. Just wait till Hayward comes to town. I'm gonna try to get close enough seats so I can heckle him all game.

Exactly. Every home crowd is vulgar and disrespectful to the opponent. Westbrook should shut the **** up about it.

I didn’t bring race into it. It was already in the discussion when I showed up.

Why doesn’t he say fans of other teams are vulgar and disrespectful? Why single out Utah jazz fans above all others?

Probably because he feels that Utah is the worst he has experienced?

If you called someone an ******* because they were such an ******* they inspired a reaction from you, do you then call every person who has ever been an ******* to you in your life because you dont want that first ******* to feel bad about being called an *******?

You are probably a racist judging from how little you seem to understand about racism.

Literally everyone has made fun of Elfrid Payton's hair and no one thinks it's racist to do so. You are just being facetious and it makes you look like an *******/racist.

Oh Sigh, I could set my watch to your contrarian ********. You might be the worst poster on Jazzfanz, but hey, at least you’re the most consistent.
 
I got the chance to become acquainted with Donyell Marshall during his time with the Utah Jazz. We actually got the chance to have a couple of very interesting conversations on this exact topic. Long story short, while Utah was easily the whitest fan base he ever played for, he said we were far and away the kindest as well. You wouldn’t believe some of the crap her heard from HIS OWN FAN BASE in some of those bigger, “more enlightened” markets. He also said opposing players tend to exaggerate what Utah fans say as its pretty easy to play off the large group of white people as bigots. Interestingly enough, he even pointed out that opposing players didn’t seem to have any complaints about Jazz fan behavior when they were winning in Utah.

Rather be a contrarian than a racist.

Believe it or not, if some people saw me mocking Elfrid Payton for his hair, they’d just assume I’m a racist without gathering more information. Hell, Elfrid himself might refer to me as a racist Jazz fan to the media after the fact. Kinda like you’re labeling me one from the safety of your own computer screen with little to no information about me or my beliefs.
