Last weekend, Chicago Bulls’ center Joakim Noah, was caught on camera shouting, “F**k you, faggot,” at a fan. Noah apologized a few hours later and was almost immediately fined $50,000 by the NBA. In his apology
“I apologize,the fan said something to me that I thought was disrespectful, and I got caught up in the moment, and I said some things that I shouldn’t have said. I was frustrated and I don’t mean no disrespect to anybody. I just got caught up.”
Last month, Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for calling a referee a “f**king faggot.”
