I remember seeing that OKC game on TV and the aftermath(comments afterwards) and being convinced something racist was said.
Are you saying you've heard the "N" word or just derogatory comments or name calling? While not appropriate, name calling is not necessarily racist. It could just be yelled at someone because they're the "enemy", regardless of color.I hate to say it but its 100% true. It makes me ****ing sick to hear some of the things that idiots yell. I hate hate hate anything personal or derogatory yelled at sporting events. I personally even don't like things as mild as "you suck", its just stupid to me.
Overall I have heard worse language from players on the court that I have from the crowd.

I'm not going to disagree with u but JR is saying we chant the n word when he's at the ft line. Completely false!!! To me it sounds like he's saying it's more then just a few crazy or intoxicated fans but an entire section of fans chanting is stupid and untrue.
K. It doesn't count if the screamer is black. Maybe you weren't aware of that. Personally, I don't think black people should get a pass for saying something that is so offensive if it comes out of the mouth of a white person, but obviously I don't get to make the rules.Two things. One, yes I have heard random idiots yell sentences that included the N word. Two, I bet JR is lying about him hearing it, there for sure has never been a chant or more then one or two idiots saying inappropriate things.
I've been in the same lower bowl seats for the last 13 years and remember hearing AWFUL things yelled out dozens of times during games. There is a black guy who sits in section 2 a handful of times a year who heckles players and uses the N word VERY loudly.

So since you said JR's comment was true the real question is, have your heard the N word used at a Jazz game by one of your melanin challenged brethren? I've been to many Jazz games and sat in many different locations and I've never heard anything close. I haven't heard anything yelled that I would consider to be a racial slur at all. If I did hear something like that I would confront the person because it would be absolutely unacceptable and an embarrassment to our community.
Years ago two friends and I totally got into a Golden State player named Tom Tolbert's head. Among other things we were making fun of him for looking like a surfer dude. Nothing he did in that game went right, and he kept looking at us every time up and down the court. It was awesome to have that much impact on the game as a fan. But doing that with racist remarks? No way!
Thanks for answering. I'm very surprised that you have heard people yell that. Are you okay with it? If I heard a white person doing that I would confront them. I am very surprised that no one did. And as I said before, I think it's beyond ridiculous that black people can get away with it when it's deemed to be such an offensive word if it comes out of a white person's mouth.Jesus, yes I was aware of that. I was just making a point about a specific person who says it at the Jazz games. Players or other fans hearing him yell it don't necessarily know that the screamer is black...
Yes, I have heard it from white people numerous times. I was saying that people yelling it at Jazz games were 100% true, not that I 100% know that JR heard it.
I bet it's happened in Utah, just like I'd bet it's happened at every arena in the league. People are stupid and ignorant everywhere you go.
