Roy Hibbert faces discipline after rant

[Roadtrip635]

"Roy Hibbert used a gay slur in one answer and a curse to refer to the media in another during his news conference after Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals, putting himself in line for being disciplined by the NBA."

Don't think they would suspend them, but with the NBA you never know. Could be just the excuse the NBA needs to get their poster boy, LeBron to the Finals.

[Easy-Rider 66]

No way Hibbert gets suspended for Game 7. NBA will probably fine him and that will be the end of it.

[The Kraken]

The "no homo" comment was immature and Better suited for an online gambling forum.

His other comment was spot on.

[Mr KLC]

I guess Jason Collins won't be playing for the Pacers next year.

[The Kraken]

Why? Hubert is the only straight player the pacers have and even he has bi tendencies.

[Carseller4]

Maybe he just wanted to stress that he likes his milk straight from the cow?

Non homogenized?

[Mikail]

There is nothing wrong with what he said IMO. This politically correct b.s has gotten way outta hand.

[Shafted69]

no suspension. just a fine probably.

if Stern really wanted the Heat in the Finals he would've given them more Free Throws all series long.

it's just the opposite. Pacers have been getting waaaay more calls. The 48 FT's they

got vs NYK in the closer game was mind boggling. Maybe Stern wants Pacers in the finals?

[Roadtrip635]

The comment was immature, but it was still pretty funny.
He was right about the media when he cussed them tho, that was pretty funny too

[rthoughton]

if he is suspended for gm7, i officially am finished with the NBA

[Mac4Lyfe]

Hmmm, which one of these is also nothing wrong in saying?

No Homos...
No Jews...
No Blacks...
No Chinese......... etc., etc., etc.

Bob Costas got in trouble for saying No Guns. Hell, even Oprah got in trouble for saying No Beef. You are pretty much fukked if you ever "just say NO" to anything.

There is nothing wrong with what he said IMO. This politically correct b.s has gotten way outta hand.

[SportsTerminator]

No Homo is not a gay slur... he's simply saying he's not a homosexual. And mixing ethnicity with this is irrelavant.

[Mac4Lyfe]

You may need to talk to Jason Collins too...

No Homo is not a gay slur... he's simply saying he's not a homosexual. And mixing ethnicity with this is irrelavant.

Lmao, if this isn't a big enough of a hint at taking Miami, I don't know what is. Hmmm... Game 6, Birdman suspended, Miami loses. Hibbert is Indianas most important player, lets see what happens.

I may regret doing this, but I'm putting a lot of money on Miami to win game 7.

[NrmlCurvSurfr]

75k fine, what a joke...nba is just another piece of this ridiculous media driven political correctness campaign...If the media/nba didnt make a big deal about this would people really care? Im interested to know if this actually offended anyone?...(if it did, grow and pair and stop being a pu$$y, ive heard homos make remarks about heteros and I didnt fkn call my congressman and the local news about it)

Hibbert works for the NBA, which is a business, so there are rules like any other business. They have a product to sell, so being politically correct fits right into an agenda $$$$

You will be fine with the money line. Hibbert should be in foul trouble the whole game. Any little touch foul they see he will be called for. This is what they did last year so Lebron could succeed.

[Catchn_Picks]

What a sickening over reaction. He worked all night and morning to undue his comments...jerks.

Yeah I know...makes me thankful that I don't have to look over my shoulder before saying "no homo"...mo money mo problems

But where are all of the outraged fans? I was just wondering if people thought 75k was appropriate, its not like he hurt anyone or tried to take someone out of the game, I don't even know if they would get a 75Ker.

edit: actually this is about par for nba, nothing to see here...11/26/12
The NBA fined Aaron Brooks (Sac) $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece intothe stands after Friday's Sac-Uta game.Expensive mouth piece lol
6/13/12The NBA fined Kevin Garnett (Bos) $25,000 for failing to make himselfavailable to the media following Saturday's Game 7 Bos-Mia game.Maybe the guy was tired and didnt want to answer the same ol bs questions for those tools?(yeah I know its probably in his contract)
5/23/11The NBA fined Joakim Noah (Chi) $50,000 for making a homosexual sluragainst a fan during Sunday's Chi-Mia game.good thing he didnt wait until the press conference, saved 25k (note: THIS IS AN EMPLOYEE MAKING A COMMENT TO A CUSTOMER, should have been a larger fine if you compare to hibberts comment, guess noah should consider himself lucky)</pre></pre>

[raydog]

he will appeal and will end up paying 10k or something... he did go off on a weird rant and its obvious he is a complete dumbass, but 75k is a gross over fine

[Deuce]

No homo and mother fukker = $75k???

What a fukkin joke this pussy ass society is becoming.

[Sport_Fish]

Good to see I'm not the only one who was surprised to see 'no homo' is considered offensive language. Seriously North American media has gone overboard with this shit. I fail to understand how that remark is even remotely offensive.

So yeah a 75k fine is just absurd. But at the same time, it probably seems worse to us but its nothing major at all for Hibbert to pay.

[easyliving]

people are getting offended cuz he said no homo? this has gotten too far

[opie1988]

No homo and mother fukker = $75k???

What a fukkin joke this pussy ass society is becoming.

League is run by a liberal Jew prikk. No surprise here.

[Mac4Lyfe]

If he would have said... "BTW, I'm not homosexual" or "BTW, I'm not gay". He probably would have gotten away with it. Unfortunately, he has to keep up with current slang. Saying "Homo" is now not PC. Then to say "NO" to anything like I quoted before is a "no-no". By saying "NO" you are ruling against it. "No (insert any group)" isolates that entire group of people. So the better way is to say... "BTW, I'm not (insert group) but I fully endorse them as a group." and you're probably okay.

I don't know why Hibbert was running off at the mouth. Why didn't Paul George yank him off the mike. He went on a stupid diatribe, especially talking about him being shunned in a small market. People didn't ignore you because you were Indy. People ignored you because your game was weak and forgettable. Dam, he got cocky quick.

[BlacK_HazE]

Hibbert fined 75k

[sweep]

BIGDAY says this all the time, step up to the plate Mod_SBR Forum....Slap that Minnesota prick with 1,000 point fine




PS: No homo

[Killer_Demo]

Cant wait till that big nose Stern is out the league

[ChalkyDog]

Nothing wrong with what he said. Wish more people did it.

Anyone that took issue with what he said, in any context, is an absolute mental midget. I think most find offense to douchers finding this offensive. This Comstockian approach to public interaction makes me want to choke a bitch.

American sports characters have become painfully mundane.

I hope Roy rawdogs the shit out of LeFlop. All homo.
