Matt, don't be an idiot. I don't need to link to countless articles showing the mouth breathing propensity for many of your Australian brethren, do I?

Why is that disabled dude making fun of Shaq?
Shaq should sue him.

Randy Wimbley of Fox 2 Detroit reported that Burke’s apology seemed to be the most sincere, according to Binion. Burke also offered to take Binion and his family to the Utah-Detroit game when the Jazz are in Michigan next year. Deseret News

Glad to see Binion has more of a thick skin and sense of humor about this then some in this thread. He is using this not to be all woe is me, never asked or wanted anyone to feel sorry for him if he used the situation as anything it was for a selfless and good cause and that was to promote an anti bullying foundation.
This situation was not the same, Burke didn't mean or have intent or any harm to Binion it was done to tease a teammate/friend in Clark, he had no malice or hate or discrimination towards Binion but yes could be classed as some kind of bullying I supposed. As has been posted it was a joke that he should've been smarter on making public and just didn't think it through, it was just a nameless face and once he realized it was a real person he came out and apologized.

Word, I understand SexualFavors's intentions, and they are good, but he makes this dude seem like a pity case. Binion is taking this as a person being bullied, any person. I don't think he sees himself as a "disabled" person, and repeatedly referring to him as one is insulting, at least in my eyes.

Dude, I am disabled. He is disabled. Disabled people aren't insulted by their disability's, they are just facts of life. We aren't reduced or defined by them.
Glad Trey's apology was the sincerest. I understand that he likely didn't do it with malicious intent, but that's the way most discrimination works. Most people don't think twice when they are being racist or anything, they are just acting in accordance to the way they've been programmed.
Definitely not trying to make Binnion a pity case, just pointing out the hypocrisy. I am not saying the Jazz should've made a big daal to Binnion because heis deserving of special attention, but I think they should've made a statement condemning bullying of someone for his disability, which is discrimination. That is not special attention, that is just normal attention to a very serious matter that happens all too often in regular society. Jazz had an opportunity to set an example and decry ANY kind of discrimination, but they didn't. Bullying based on disability is discrimination. You say Trey didn't know the man was disabled, but he obviously knew he was abnormal, and that's what his post was drawing attention to. The implied joke was Ian Clark looks like Binnion, therefore Clark is ugly.
I really don't wish to speak on this anymore, so let's just agree to disagree. Vehemently.
What if Trey thought the dude in question was a good looking chap and was just trying to compliment Ian? Your jump to conclusions shows your intolerance.
