I support fining Kobe for inappropriate language.

Now how do we go about fining Marty for calling Kobe the n-word?

I'm just sick and tired of US blacks getting special treatment when it comes to "slur words" (with "nigger" being treated as a much worse slur than "faggot", "kike" or "paki") while themselves being one of the most homophobic ethnic groups living in the US.

I think American society has a pretty fucked up attitude there and refuses to call a spade a spade.

A $100k fine for that is ridiculous.  I'm no Kobe fan, but FFS he was just venting.

Nah a message needed to be sent.  Stuff like that screws with the image of the entire league.  A brand is worth millions and long after Kobe has retired.

Nobody pays to see refs referee.  The players should be free to subject them to any and all verbal abuse.

Would it be fine to call a black ref nigger?

Not abuse that makes the NBA look bad :P

If Kobe had not been caught publicly doing it nobody would have batted an eye.  Who he called a un-PC slur is completely irrelevent.

No, it would be bigotted, assine behaviour.  But the league shouldn't fine a player for it.

Again the NBA does not want to be known as a bigoted league.  They have a brand to protect and sponsors to please and Kobe should realize he is representing all of that.  It may not be fair but it is not about fairness it is business.

People pay to see stars get slapped down by the refs when they act like spoiled douchebags. Why deprive the fans of that kind of fun?

Refs need to be kept in their place.  Berkut's uppity enough as it is.

On Comedy Central it would be.
