The NBA has fined Roy Hibbert $75,000 after the Indiana Pacers center used a gay slur in one answer and a profanity in another during his news conference Saturday following Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Hibbert ended a response to a question about his defense on Miami Heat star LeBron James with "no homo."
The NBA responded less than 24 hours later, announcing Sunday in a release that Hibbert was fined for "using inappropriate and vulgar language." The fine was handed down after Hibbert issued an apology Sunday morning, saying in a statement that he sincerely has "deep regret over my choice of words last night."

He needs more support. Get a bunch of those athletes in unison-or not-to say the same things. THEN see what happens! I doubt any of the group will be white.
One of the comments was, ‘should he get his money back if he says ‘yeshomo’?’
Could care less about what happens with THUGBALL
Quick question ~ ‘homosexual themed’ means ‘homosexual themed’ ~ was that modern family show ‘themed’ that way, or they just happened to have a part time clown who turned tricks or something?
I’m guessing the NBA feels ecstatic they’ve kept the support of the 5 homos who watch the sport.
Adrian Peterson also indicated he wasn’t thrilled with gays either last week. I hope more pros “come out” to denounce the perv life.
Thugball season starts in late August and ends with the Super Bowl.
Maybe all the faggots are converging on one show and giving it enough ratings to survive for the time being.
What was vulgar about that?
Yes being a homosexual itself is vulgar but our President thinks they are heroes so..............
LOL, some of those comments are hilarious. Yep, sports fans aren’t PC.
The gov’t didn’t fine him, his employer did. 1A refers to gov’t, not private businesses.
