    I think it's because Kramer used the word homo.

    What if Birdman said: "No coon, but I'm a good dancer."

    I would have wondered whether he went to my high school and was using the school's nickname from back then.

    Yeah, a 13 million dollar fine sounds about right for the crime of once saying the word homo.

    Good lord.

    I don't even think Hibbert would be suspended if he did say the ridiculous hypotheticals Dick is posting.

    If the message is supposed to be that some things are more important than Game 7, that would be an incorrect message in this case. What Hibbert said in his press conference is most definitely not more important than Game 7.

    If that's the case, then he shouldn't be suspended for this, either. But it's time to stop acting like gay slurs are a lesser form of slur. They aren't.
