Watching the interview with the fan he seems sincere and his story is a good one. Ice your knees could totally sound like on your knees and be misheard. Or the guy could be totally full of ****. And a couple of posts ago i said that the guy is obviously racist based on the his facebook stuff and things he associates himself with and that isn't totally fair of me. Just cause you support the NRA or ben shapiro or trump or whatever doesn't make you racist. I think it increases the chances that you are racist but doesn't mean its a sure thing. The go back to where you came from comment definitely sounds racist if that is in fact what he said before.
As for the whole on your knees thing i associate that with more of a gay insult type thing than racism thing..... Which isn't really any better to be honest. But again, there is a chance that the dude is telling the truth about him saying ice your knees rather than on your knees.
And i dont want to blame the victim if westbrook was in fact the victim but would bet (i obviously dont know for sure) that westbrook gets the worst that fans have to offer in every arena he visits. I hate the personality/attitude/persona that westbrook displays on the court. Just seems like a miserable jerk all the time. Seems like he should have more fun and be happier while having basically the best job ever.
This whole situation sucks though because no matter what actually did or didn't get said by the fan or fans in any other of these situations, the jazz image takes a hit every time. I wish there was better evidence in these things cause its basically guilty until proven innocent for the perception of jazz fanz and that sucks. I walked into work today wearing a jazz beanie, jazz jacket, jazz pajama pants (i change into a uniform for work) and had my jazz water bottle just like most days, but today i felt a bit of shame....
