Trey Burke makes fun of disabled man on IG

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Glad to see that they apologized. I just wish the disabled were treated with the same respect as others when they are discriminated against. I still feel like Trey and Shaq should be forced to do more if they aren't going to on their own.

Shaq's Sprint halftime condemnation of Sterling was very hard to watch last night.

The Jazz need to address this as an organization as well.

First let me just say... You need to shut the hell up!!!!! And what more do they need to do then talking to him and apologizing personally??

Dude, why do you keep calling him disabled?

He has a condition where he can't sweat and makes his head look funny. If I were him, I would be offended by you call me "disabled".

It is classified as a disability. "Disabled" is PC.

This dude's whole stance is "bullying is bad and it shouldn't happen" not "Oh I have a weird condition anyone who makes fun of me should be punished because I'm a cry baby" but Sexual Favors is making this dude seem like a pity case that deserves special attention.

I never called him a cry baby. I am pointing out the hypocrisy which you seem to be fine with. Are black people cry babies when they object to someone calling them the "n" word?

He is not a pity case, and he doesn't deserve special attention. He deserves to be treated with respect like any normal human being, and when he is defamed and mocked publicly for his condition, similar amends should be made to rectify the situation as are made in cases of public figures discriminating because of race. Just like the sterling comments affected a whole group of people, so does the ridicule of ANY disabled person.

OMG!!!!! Why????

The Jazz should address it with a statement because it was their employee who engaged in the ridicule. If they don't stand for it, they should say so. They issued a statement concerning Sterling, but this situation hits even closer to home.

People choose to agree, disagree, or remain silent, which is the same as agreeing.

First let me just say... You need to shut the hell up!!!!! And what more do they need to do then talking to him and apologizing personally??

Only cowards try to silence equality.

The Jazz need to issue a statement, and there should be some sort of fine. Look, I'm not saying ban Trey from the NBA and fine him 2.5 mil, but an apology after he is pressured by the public hardly seems sincere. If the Jazz are an organization that doesn't tolerate discrimination, they need to make ot known to the world. The fine doesn't have to be huge, but the symbolic gesture would be.

And another jazzfanzer saying something moronic. Go figure. One of the worst comments in a while. This post should at least get you a two week ban, so we can have a break from at least one idiot!
