Someone who is good at the internet should start a petition to ban this guy... a sign that Jazz fans aren't all overly aggressive buttholes.

I'm naive man... I didn't know how prevalent racism, sexism, and metoo stuff really was. I'm a decent human and prefer to think of others as decent until they prove otherwise. I regret to report there are a lot more ignorant jerks out there than I originally thought. I'm not quite woke, but I'm getting there.

If every "conservative" made that statement, I would never have a political argument with them ever again. They mostly don't though.

I will say this. Maybe I was wrong to say that the statement is in no way racist, but I do believe that it is an EXTREME stretch to believe that if such a comment was even made, that it was done with racial undertones

I can see that, but apparently an N bomb was dropped as well according to a few accounts. Even if the N bomb weren't brought out, it's still an ugly shot.

I think Russ overreacted to the pacifier comment that was taped (actually thought it was funny myself). But no excuse for this a-hole.

I genuinely don't think it's necessary. Social Media for the fandom has stuck a stick up this guy's butt, basted him in butter, propped him over a fire, and hooked up a motor and band to slowly turn him over the flame to ensure even roasting.
 
"Racism and hate speech hurts us all, and this is not the first time something like this has happened in our arena," he continued. "The Utah that I have come to love is welcoming and inclusive and last night's incident is not indicative of our fanbase. We don't want to create a negative reputation for athletes who potentially may want to come to Utah."

According to KSL Keisel is filing a lawsuit and denies said tweets.

lawsuit for what?...security can kick him out for heckling even if it's not racist, so he has no leg to stand on there...if somebody faked a twitter page with that stuff on there, well good luck getting to the bottom of that

That guy getting fired

they need to tread carefully there--has there been confirmation of what the guy said?...they could probably axe him for the crap on that twitter page if nothing else (if it is his)...also, I know it's a local dealership, but Toyota is one of the NBA's top sponsors so it's possible they could be heard from but they're lawyered-up enough to not jump to conclusions...I imagine the manager of that dealership is on his 3rd dose of ibuprofen today...
 
Permanent ban for this knucklehead.

Good move by the Jazz to act very swiftly to take real action. I think that outside players will see that and it is a positive for Utah moving forward in an otherwise very bad situation.

I just got an update notification thing from ESPN saying he is banned for life

Organization is class. Feels like the right thing to do... security needs to be a bit more proactive.
 
Is there any video of the fan saying these things or was it all eyewitness interviews?

The damage by this idiot is done and we can only hope it doesn't damage the organization. With today's mob mentality and the current race relations in this country, I doubt it. :( Sad day in jazz history if you ask me.
