That seems excessive. Everyone is offended by something now a days.

Thought this type of public shaming was losing momentum in society.

I think it’s an unnecessary, unforced error by Ball and hits a population that the NBA would like to be fans. I don’t have any problem with it. If you’re going to hit the players in a way to change behavior, it’s going to have a big price tag.

That's gay.

I was expecting this to be some kind of slang outside of the sexuality angle (god I'm old). So...translation?

"yeah, we loaded up...no homo?
"

I mean... are there really any gay people offended by his comment?

He made a comment and then said “no homo”, indicating that he didn’t mean what he said “in the gay way”. It was stupid.

By that comment? Maybe not, but it probably gets old as shit being the punch line of comments like that.

The gay friends I've had would say stuff like that.

I took it as more of a meatheaded juvenile bro-humor type comment. Which can be fun.

(sort of like that's what she said)

I still can't get past your sig animation. Are you the ass man?

yes, yes i am. I actually can't get rid of it. The admins took my ability to change my signature. I think they were trying to get rid of it. Now I just can't change it.

$100K seems a little stiff.

Sure, that’s what it is….to a reporter on TV in a post-game interview. There’s a time and place. I have no problem if the NBA wants to nip this stuff.
