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.

Nice.

Hmmm I hear ya man. I'd probably agree with your expectations. And I don't necessarily think it's a "thug" mentality it's "willing ignorance" in my opinion.

If the guy dropped a racial slur I'd have no problem with Smart whipping his ass right then and there.

Honestly, more fans should get their asses whipped at sporting events.

If a large portion of people can just ignore those words then this won't be a problem and I think it's very possible to achieve because of the simple fact that those words have become so powerful the opposite can happen to make them powerless.

As much as I agree with that sentiment, as a white guy, it's really not my place to state it. You however, can. And I applaud you for it. There are plenty of shitty things people say to me but I don't give them credence. Why would I give someone else power over my self worth?

I remember a kid that played for Shawnee Mission East. He wore black converse high tops. This is when everyone wore white shoes. Creatively, we would chant "we want black shoes, we want black shoes." Thankfully, he did not come into the stands and confront us. This was the extent of our bad fan behavior. Yes, I am old.

Yep. Absolutely this.

This asshole fan is notorious for saying shit to players and one finally pushed him back.

I'm not going to throw the book at a 20 year old college kid and just let the behavior of a 50 some year old slide.

One of my best buddies here in Norman is black. Name is patrick. He calls big dirty white money making change for the poor folks. And I call him p diddy sugar snack. Onw.of the greatest people you would ever meet.

Even he say marcus smart was stupid and offensive to his race regardless of what was said.

Said there is a a difference between a black person and a n word. Also there is a difference between a white person and a white trash cracka.

We just hung up fron discussing it.

Assholes like this definitely shouldn't have the right to say whatever the hell they want to these athletes (and I think we've all heard some really ugly shit at college games over the years).

If college basketball mattered before the tournament I might give a ****.

So you just pretend to be a racist on here?

Oh, the old "I have black friends" excuse. Yep, totally negates the racist comment you just made on here.

Yes there is.

I don't ****ing understand why people think athletes should just take shit just because they're athletes. Why?
