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

That kind of language is to be expected. Carry on.”
Used to be that way...”
Now it is one way only.
Not the same as when I became a Freeper.
I would caution against labeling blacks so broadly.
They are not all racist.
In fact, as fellow human beings they are a riot to be around.
Surprised that anyone is even watching anymore...
It’s a contact sport of sorts. That kind of language is to be expected. Carry on.

Thanks for your post. What you stated is so obviously true that I am amazed, actually shocked, that so many Freepers don’t agree. They are ready to start WW3 over this trivial incident.
And, as the article points out, Luka certainly came out the winner in today’s game. One of the greatest games I have ever seen. Watch the last few minutes of the game as it ended in a tie. In overtime it was just amazing. At the end, with 3.5 seconds to go and the Mavericks trailing by a single point Luka took the inbound pass and made a 3-pointer from 5 feet beyond the circle as time ran out.
Americans need to get over professional sports already.
Probably ensures punishment for Doncic.
It was good that Seffield pointed out the blatant double-standard.
or maybe jungle bunny?
Who pays thier salaries? We do. STOP SUPPORTING THESE A##HOLES. MLB, NFL, NBA will learn the hard way
