Just curious... If the fan called Smart a racial slur, was he justified for shoving the fan.

I think its an interesting debate about where the line should be drawn for fans to get away with jawing at players. Let's first see if there's any truth to this. My personal opinion is that sports should have leeway for fan behavior, but there's a line that fans too often cross.

Smart is a stupid N word. No one denys it.

Show me video of you telling a black guy he's a ****er or telling him to go back to Africa.

Do that and I'll apologize to you and just admit that you're keeping it real.

This post was reported. Here's another one of those damned if you do, and damned if you don't situations we face as moderators. People are going to be pissed no matter what action is taken.

That said, I'd ban you for a week in a heartbeat if this was my board. Racism has no place here, and that's been said over and over again. But it's never really followed through with. We just wag our fingers and say "you better not!" but look the other way when it happens.

This isn't my board, and I have my directives, so I'm giving you a pass. Racism is something I don't deal with here because apparently I'm too "sensitive" when it comes to groups being stereotyped and verbally abused.

So I guess it will come down to the other mods on what action if any, should be taken.

Reerun, I **** with you a lot but deep down you entertain me on this board. That was some low brow shit, and you should genuinely be ashamed of it. You're not, and that's fine. You can even come back and take a snipe at me, I'm not going to respond to it. Just know that I'm being real here.
