It's just a word. No need to crucify him because he said a disrespectful word when he got heated.

And I am not a rondo fan at all

Agreed. People need to learn the concept of context.

You're suggesting that Rondo angrily pursuing Kennedy repeatedly calling him a fucking ****** was taken out of context?

No, players need to not be complete jackasses. Regardless of what word he said, what's the point of what he did. It's 2015 not 2001...you can't just say shit like that now.

People aren't concerned with his following of the ref though. They're butthurt that he said the word "***" to a ref and then a day later that ref came out as gay.

I was more concerned with his harassing of the ref than I was with him saying a disrespectful word in the heat of the moment

But you just knew PC Silver was going to run with this story. He's very good at capitalizing on PC issues.

Maybe Rondo is actually a 150-year old British dude who was repeatedly requesting a cigarette.

Fucking dumb. If the refs want the game to get out of hand just like game 4 last year then they will let that happen.

Hornets 5th in the conference right now. If playoffs were today they'd have a first round matchup with the Heat. That'd be pretty good.

So Kobe had his first dunk of the year last night and ESPN lost their shit. Nevermind the Lakers lost by 20 and he went 2-7 from the free throw line, though.

Albeit dramatic, he does have a point. If the women were hotter more men would be in tune. Part of the reason why the women's soccer team has such an appeal imo. Same with tennis.

#1)Gilbert Arenas is an idiot.
#2)I don't watch WNBA because the girls are ugly; I don't watch the WNBA because the game is boring.

Maybe. The game is still boring. Girls basketball just isn't fun to watch. Even at the highest level, the athleticism that makes the game exciting isn't there.

He's essentially saying this...make it less about being basketball and more about selling cool, hot chicks. Lots of other entertainment industries do this. Women's professional wrestling is God awful, but it has found it's niche among fans. They just don't take it seriously as "wrestling" and just want to look at the hottest and most entertaining women.
