I mean... What do you think no homo means?

That's a good point but still you shouldn't need training and experience with the media to know it's a stupid thing to say. He's been doing these press confs and interviews for years, it's not like he's a rookie.

... not homosexual.
The word "homosexual" is a slur now? When did this happen? Is heterosexual a slur also?

It's dumb. And it is a slur.
It means "hey guyz I'm not gay, cuz that would be awful, embarrassing, and a blow to my manhood, etc"

Stop being deliberately obtuse.
Just killing time. Probably gonna go to bed in a few mins. Ofc nobody's actually angry about it, just a smh moment.
Yea, true, fining him with my college tuition doesn't mean fuck all to him.
But that was a shitty way to approach the podium, players get asked dumb crap like that all the time so he doesn't have much of an excuse. I just feel a lot of people here and in general wouldn't be singing the same tune if it was a Heat player who said that crap. But whatevs, I also hope the media doesn't make some gigantic deal out of it.

Hibbert being dumb there is lame :/
Excited for Game 7.
It's kind of bizarre for a fan of a team whose franchise player has been Wade (whose level of play was mostly based on physical advantages) to bash Hibbert for his physical advantages.

it's a joke phrase when someone says a double entendre

yeah apparently Homosexuals said they didn't like it. I forget her name but the lesbian comedian who reminds me of gary coleman made a PSA about it. So to be PC you now you say "no Homo" has become "pause" or "that's what she said" or "No Bosh".....
Everybody here knows I love my Popeyes, and I'm not black!

Heat fans are the two and spurs fans is the other guy.
Yeah, I'd say that's me this whole series.
It responds to it quite clearly. He gave an example of a statement that is innocuous at face value, but has obvious bigoted undertones.

I definitely get where you're coming from. Personally, I've been called enough names for one lifetime that I tend to help out others who are in similar situations despite my christian background.

For the record, the original point which certain posters have lost was that "no homo" is apparently as bad as using the word used for a bundle of wood sticks that is very offensive to homosexuals.
but nvm that keepfucking eating that chicken.

I hated hard on Indy during the last round, but Im proud of fuckball taking these Heatles douchebags to a game 7.

Nobody is saying it's as bad as saying faggot out right but it's still an offensive phrase. Offensive insults aren't just the most extreme ones, there are less offensive ones that are still hurtful and bigoted. You're not getting the point.

Looking forward to it.
Oh man I am starting to create fractured locker room scenarios now. Tomorrow I will wake up and be fine, tonight sucks.
theignorant once again offering comments
I do think the locker room is a little bit distant right now---how could it not be? They're all playing like shit
Who the fuck knows, I just don't want 2005 game 7 against Detroit where we're in control and then it slips at the end

Your link was edited in after I made my post.
But yeah, that guy is wrong. Who else said that besides him?

While I agree Hibbert is a full blown idiot for his comment and deserves the incoming 5k fine or whatever, calling him a 'thug' and 'despicable human being' (Although I think/hope this one was a joke lol?) is a pretty big overreaction considering what the general definition of the word thug is.
Pretty much. It's going out of your way to make the point that "hey, that thing I just said? It doesn't mean i'm gay ok? Just to be clear."
It's fucking stupid.
Frankman is my pimpwerx
