Did anyone see what Montrez Harrell said to Luka? Called him a b**** a** white boy.

Yep. Just imagine if the roles were reversed. Harrell should be suspended remainder of playoffs.

Not a peep from the announcers or from the studio hosts. Like it never happened.

Do you think this gets a pass because "trash talk"? Some might argue that. However if Luka had said the exact same thing to him, but substituted 'black' for 'white', it would dominate discussion for at least 24 hours. He'd be forced to publicly apologize, and might be forced to pay a fine or incur a suspension.

I understand how historical injustices weigh in on this. But half the players in the league have Equality written on their jerseys. True equality would ensure Montrez faced the same consequences as Luka.

this kinda racism has gotten the free pass for decades and its beyond tiresome

I just spent 10 mins on the phone with ESPN. They took my information to include writing down notes of what was said etc. He told me he would forward the info to his supervisor and the PR dept. He encouraged me to email their PR dept and even the NBA.

(888) 549-3776 is the number I initially called. Its their customer care

Espnpr@espn.com is the email address he gave for the Public Relations department

You realize ESPN reports news, right?

I don't need to click on your link... I've seen the clip already.

What's idiotic is calling ESPN to complain about them not reporting on a freaking lip reading. Seriously... I'm not saying Harrell did or didn't say anything... I'm just saying that reporting that he said what you are inferring he said based on just lip reading is pretty damn irresponsible in my opinion.

I mean, he clearly said it. Whether it's worth getting your panties in a wad and calling it a double standard is debatable. Both sides, on the extreme end, are pretty dumb. To think it's the same as calling a black guy a racial slur is pretty disingenous. To say "it's cool because you can't be racist to white people" is equally idiotic.

Serious question for my white homies on this board;

Do y'all really consider "white boy" a slur?

---

In the context it is being used, it is. I am not offended by it, though.

THere are levels to this ****, and not everything requires the same level of reaction

Bich ass white boy, huh?

The way Harrell used it was clearly a slur.

Absolutely, which makes their inaction a joke. But so is their embracing of this entire equality/justice movement while they suck China off. So par for the course basically

If everyone else in America can be overly sensitive and throw a hissy fit for anything and everything said and done nowadays, yep.

The double standards in this country are beyond bullsh*t. Suck it, Montrezl.

He could have said it. I'm not a lip reading expert nor are most people here... I think it's possible he said it but I wouldn't say he clearly said it.

Defense lawyers

Today, during the game, they said he apologized...so all was good. If the roles were reversed that wouldn't have been enough.

But...I found it interesting that the announcer said that very thing.
