Yep. Just imagine if the roles were reversed. Harrell should be suspended remainder of playoffs.
Not a peep from the announcers or from the studio hosts. Like it never happened.
Do you think this gets a pass because "trash talk"? Some might argue that. However if Luka had said the exact same thing to him, but substituted 'black' for 'white', it would dominate discussion for at least 24 hours. He'd be forced to publicly apologize, and might be forced to pay a fine or incur a suspension.
I understand how historical injustices weigh in on this. But half the players in the league have Equality written on their jerseys. True equality would ensure Montrez faced the same consequences as Luka.

Exactly. Really wouldn't care about what he said. Only reason I'm so mad is like y'all said if Luka said it he would likely be out of the nba. Also so worrisome that it's like nothing was said. Espn hasn't even mentioned it
this kinda racism has gotten the free pass for decades and its beyond tiresome
Whats the ESPN ombudsman's contact info so I can ask why they're ignoring this?
I just spent 10 mins on the phone with ESPN. They took my information to include writing down notes of what was said etc. He told me he would forward the info to his supervisor and the PR dept. He encouraged me to email their PR dept and even the NBA.
(888) 549-3776 is the number I initially called. Its their customer care
Espnpr@espn.com is the email address he gave for the Public Relations department

You realize ESPN reports news, right?
So you want ESPN to report on some loose lip reading?

I don't need to click on your link... I've seen the clip already.
What's idiotic is calling ESPN to complain about them not reporting on a freaking lip reading. Seriously... I'm not saying Harrell did or didn't say anything... I'm just saying that reporting that he said what you are inferring he said based on just lip reading is pretty damn irresponsible in my opinion.

Somebody threw away a perfectly good white boy
I mean, he clearly said it. Whether it's worth getting your panties in a wad and calling it a double standard is debatable. Both sides, on the extreme end, are pretty dumb. To think it's the same as calling a black guy a racial slur is pretty disingenous. To say "it's cool because you can't be racist to white people" is equally idiotic.ATM9000 said:McDadeTXAggie said:ATM9000 said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Serious question for my white homies on this board;
Do y'all really consider "white boy" a slur?

In the context it is being used, it is. I am not offended by it, though.Head Ninja In Charge said:

THere are levels to this ****, and not everything requires the same level of reaction

He could have said it. I'm not a lip reading expert nor are most people here... I think it's possible he said it but I wouldn't say he clearly said it.
It's pretty clear who here hasn't played organized sports above the 8th grade level, and certainly with regards to basketball. "B**** a** white boy" is positively tame in this context.
And you're wrong if you believe it doesn't go both ways. The racial trash talk and stereotypes fly around practice all the time. Put a hot mic in any high school gym in America and NOBODY in there is ever getting a job.

Bich ass white boy, huh?
The way Harrell used it was clearly a slur.

Absolutely, which makes their inaction a joke. But so is their embracing of this entire equality/justice movement while they suck China off. So par for the course basically
If everyone else in America can be overly sensitive and throw a hissy fit for anything and everything said and done nowadays, yep.Head Ninja In Charge said:

The double standards in this country are beyond bullsh*t. Suck it, Montrezl.
NBA is all about equality!

Defense lawyers
Today, during the game, they said he apologized...so all was good. If the roles were reversed that wouldn't have been enough.
But...I found it interesting that the announcer said that very thing.

If the NBA was really serious about racial justice they would make a huge deal about this. But they really aren't that serious about. For blacks yes, for everybody else, no.
Nothing from Popovich and Kerr, the champions for social justice.
And nothing from Doncic except "no big deal". He's got to just take it. Mavs already have enough issues getting black free agents. Doncic making a big deal about it would further hinder our chances.

In the way it was used, it was a racial slur. And I'm glad it got attention and I'm glad he apologized.
As Mulaney hits on above, though, "***** ass white boy" doesn't carry with it the same centuries of awful history that the n-word carries with it.
