The funny thing is, one day some random antagonist may take Doucherant up on his offer and beat his ass on W17th. Hope it winds up in YouTube.

What a 50 year old man gonna do to you in a fight? Some times you gotta be the bigger man, not literally either.


That's probably why he called him out. If this was Shaq or someone like that that made those comments he'd not have said the same thing. :lol:

How is what KD says homophobic? Michael Rappaport is not gay last time I checked. KDs language is that of teens growing up in the hood. People here get offended with everything these days. The word police is out in full force.

This is just locker room talk. It's locker room banter and certainly he's not proud of it.

If this is actually KD, where is the Myles Leonard type of outrage here... replace everything he said about pasty skinned people and make it about brown skinned people ... replace the slandering of homosexuals with terms like Myles Leonard used about Jewish people... and we’d be talking about a fairly large suspension... honestly, I’d say he should get 1 year, that type of hatred should not be tolerated.

Also Rappaport is the f’n worst, he egged him on on purpose because he knows this gets his name in the spotlight, hes otherwise meaningless... and he better never put on a Knick jersey again because we certainly dont want him!

If the person Miles Leonard said to the other player on COD was not Jewish, does it mean what he said was not bigoted?

If Michael Rappaport called a non-black person the N word, does that mean its not bigoted?

The problem here is selected outrage...if the bar is “well the person is not X, therefore its ok” then use that same bar in all cases. Because what I imagine is... the NBA should not be ok with one of their biggest stars throwing out such words that could make a large group of historically attacked people like its nothing. If this is just “locker room talk” ... then the NBA needs to work on that, and essentially ending the career of a white role-player for attacking 1 group, but looking the other way for a black superstar player for attacking a couple of other groups.... that is not setting the right tone for the league

KD shouldn’t have used that kinda language but to say this is similar to Meyers Leonard is wrong. These discussions are more nuanced then say black or white. Black person using language like this gets taken differently because of the historical circumstances they have gone through in this country. I don’t necessarily think it’s fair but I understand why things get looked at differently depending on the race.
