Sorry, I didn't mean to post that. I wrote something, didn't like it, and then moved onto another post and it came along for the ride. Some feature of the forum software I guess.
My point would have been that the Jazz fanbase is unique because of the "Utah" name. The players probably have assumptions about the Utah crowd, just like a lot of people have ideas about the people that live here, for better or worse. I'm not blaming them for it, whatever. But the players coming in here are probably more sensitive to these things than if they were playing in some other random place like Indiana. If there are more allegations about the fans here, it may not be that our fanbase is more/less racist... because this place is different.
That said, I'm sure there are racists here just like anywhere else. If the twitter stuff is true, this guy sure seems to be a racist. The only racist comment I (ever) remember personally hearing in Utah was about native Americans... and just thinking about it now is making me furious again.
