Not exactly but, NBA star Kobe Bryant has been fined $100,000 after he was seen calling referee Bennie Adams a “F’n F-get!” during a game that was nationally telecast. We’re sure he didn’t mean it literally, but the NBA decided to fine him after receiving complaints. Chris Rock chimes in after the jump….

I like the way the dude on ESPN says the league doesn’t like this stuff kind of stuff out there but by fining Kobe they just gave the whole thing national attention. I didn’t watch this game and I would have never known what Kobe said if I didn’t see it on ESPN just now.
i watched the game and i seen what he said when he said it. 100 thou though??? boy stop
You know the story. “The Lakers and its organization as well as its partners do not condone the degradation of alternative lifestyles, we recognize that we have a diversity of fans with many different orientations.”
good point….the Lakers have fans that arent even basketball fans. the lakers are “Hollywood”, but 100 k is still alot
ok so south park already talked about this… saying faggot doesn’t mean ur talking about someone gay. Faggot can mean many things… like a referee Bennie Adams not doing his job the right way. Or Faggot can mean motorcycle enthusiast. Give this man a break… : /
South Park!? haha that’s your appeal to authority on this issue?
hahahaha
So I guess nigger doesn’t really mean anything either.
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t calling him a motorcycle enthusiast. He meant it as a homophobic remark, so let’s call it what it is. If his fans are ok with that, well then fine for them, but I don’t have much respect or anyone who would choose that as their derogatory word of choice. You can call someone an ass hole without insulting ten percent of the population.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE… it’s a MAN sport and people get heated, so fucking what he said faggot i say it all the time… people are too damn sensitive, there’s other important shit to worry about like GAS PRICES!
Gas prices, radiation, no fucking jobs, radiation……..seriously we are fucked up!
lol@ name
who cares! He has the money!
