As we reported Saturday, L.A. Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell -- who is black, called white Dallas Mavericks Slovenian star Luka Doncic a bitch ass white boy, right on the court, after the two had a scuffle during the NBA playoff game.
The racist yell erupted into social media controversy, as most rightly said had the race been reversed, the white player's career and life would have been destroyed.
As Outkick columnist Gary Sheffield Jr. argued:
"....if Luka had referred to Montrezl Harrell as a b**** a** black boy, that the social media condemnation would have rained down from the heavens on Luka, In fact, Luka would probably be suspended for the remainder of the season. He would be crushed, a social pariah in all of sports.
Meanwhile, not one damn thing has happened to Harzell. No suspension. No missed games. No forced apology demanded by the cowardly Clippers organization. Just blatant hypocrisy from an NBA that had embraced the Black Lives Matter leftist political movement 110%.
Well tonight Luka got his revenge right on the court, in the sweetest possible fashion

Almost makes me give a damn about the NBA, almost...
Without apology, this is not golf.
This is not a workplace. It is a play place with physical contact that evokes passion. If you want them to play like pussies, then keep complaining. I’m sure they will oblige.
Without double standards the left would have no standards at all.
The Clippers did make him apologize today.
I don’t think the headline is accurate, because Doncic Said he didn’t even think an apology was necessary.
The Mavericks may be making a big mistake by playing him so much for an injury. It could lead to a longer term injury.
Blacks are racist
They use that language on purpose.
They know nothing will happen to them.
Cracka, white boy, then if something gets tossed back like a word they hear all the time in rap songs they listen to, they fake outrage...
Montrelz would get his ass handed to him if he said that to another in jail.
White is a color, not a race.
So the White guy had a Jackie Robinson moment. It’s still the NBA, so who cares?
It most definitely IS his workplace and it is a hostile environment with entitled racists lashing out in ways that if they are NOT entitled they would be out of work and unemployable everafter.
Well today, Montrelz Harrell apologized to Luka Doncic for what he said the previous game.

Tonight’s final score:
Racist 2 points
Bitch ass white boy 43 points
100 years ago, an immigrant from Slovenia might not have been considered “white” by a lot of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant types (the ones who passed laws in 1921 and 1924, imposing ethnic quotas on immigration to keep Southern and Eastern Europeans out).
You know what? I don’t care if these guys want to play basketball and call each other names. I have a life to live.
Thank you
Is it just me or are freepers being more stupid than usual today
What kind of momma would name their kid “Education Reform”; strange name.
I thought Freepers were through with that crap. Who cares what basketmonkeys do?
Black player will get a pass since he’s black and it’s free speech; however if the roles were reversed .....
