Might as well not even speak to the media if you're a pro athlete. One day you're bound to get in trouble.

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas has been fined $40,000 for using "derogatory and disparaging language" after Thursday's win over the Chicago Bulls, the NBA announced Friday.

Thomas was interviewed by TNT on the court alongside new teammate Spencer Dinwiddie following the Nets' 116-105 victory. Two days earlier, Dinwiddie had joked with the media in the wake of the Kyrie Irving trade with the Dallas Mavericks that while the Nets might not have acquired the most talented players in the deal -- which included Dorian Finney-Smith going to Brooklyn -- they did get the "best-looking."

"And the Nets needed some help in that department," Dinwiddie said.

Asked by TNT about Dinwiddie's comment, Thomas said postgame Thursday night: "We already had good-looking guys, no homo."

I love that guy, no homo.

You are hereby fined $40

Brilliant

I was recently looking at my middle school yearbook to read what classmates wrote, and in the late 70's we clearly called each other "***" more than the current snowflake world could ever handle.

I'm sure that sounded funnier in his head.

Don't know if it's worth $40,000 but dang!

Did The-Woke-One Lebron get fined for saying the same thing several years ago?? He had a no homo moment, too. But he is enlightened so probably no fine.

Welcome to BidenLand2023

That is really ****ing gay

Could have been worse, a slight against the T sect might have cost him 80K.

Thomas tomorrow:

Lol. In our south Texas locker room, you would have thought everyone's name was joto or puto. Geez coach would get fired today for saying "cut the grab ass".

Thomas should come out as bisexual and gender fluid. He should ask why the NBA hates gays.

Or he could claim that homophobia is part of black culture and ask them why they hate blacks.

It was funny. Jesus this country has a tree branch stuck up its ass.

I'd just sit down for any interview and say "I can't say anything for fear of being fined by the league office. Good talk." Then get up and leave.

Liberals are miserable people
They can't do humor. See SNL

Don't offend the almighty gays. Bow down. They just want to be left alone.

So it's ok to say you are homosexual but not ok to you are not homosexual?

Homosexual is not a slur in any form or fashion

He gonna turn that 40k fine into 400k profit when he hires Jackie Child's

Does this mean "smack talk" is fineable? There goes pro wrestling.

Exactly. Homo isn't a slur or insulting. Just the shortened version of homosexual.

I hope the NBA is sending a portion of the fine money to those of us that are deeply offended by that most hurtful of words.

If you can't even joke about something like this, then pendulum has swung way too far in that direction

If he had said something in a similar vein, and ended it with "no -hetero" he would have been sainted by our leftist overlords.

I think he meant he was identifying as not a homo sapient.

Who was offended other than the reporter pointing it out. Otherwise I would have thought nothing of it, Seems like the NBA was being more proactive.

Correction: the left side of the country does. They've killed comedy and fun.

You are correct sir. I have some sympathy for the youngest generation. They will never experience true freedom or fun. Much of it is their own doing

Liberals ruin EVERYTHING. Including comedy and humor. Trash.

Biggest problem in America today is that Obama killed our collective sense of humor
