MIAMI - Chicago's Joakim Noah shouted an anti-gay slur at a fan
sitting behind the Bulls' bench Sunday night in an incident that
was captured by TNT. He apologized after the game.
"I got caught up," Noah said. "I don't mean no disrespect to
anybody. I just got caught up."
Noah picked up his second foul with 6:26 left in the opening
quarter. Cameras remained on the frustrated player as he went to
the bench. The incident occurred after Noah sat down.
"The fan said something to me that I thought was disrespectful,
and I got caught up in the moment, and I responded," Noah said.
"I said some things that I shouldn't have said. ... I apologize."
A league spokesman had no comment Sunday night, but Noah faces a
likely fine from a league that has taken a strong stance against
homophobic comments.
Kobe Bryant was recently hit with a $100,000 fine for using the
same anti-gay slur Noah was heard to say Sunday night against
referee Bennie Adams last month. Bryant offered multiple
apologies after the incident was heavily criticized by gay
rights groups.
Also last month, Atlanta Braves coach Roger McDowell allegedly
made homophobic comments, crude gestures and threatened a fan
with a bat before a game in San Francisco. McDowell served a two-
week suspension and also apologized for his remarks.
During Sunday night's game, the league broadcast commercials
featuring players urging fans not to use slang terms for gays as
insults.
Phoenix Suns president and CEO Rick Welts revealed to the public
last week that he is gay, becoming one of the highest-ranking
executives in the sports world to do so. He said he wants to
break down one of the last significant social barriers in sports.
Fuck these nasty fags. AIDS can't kill them off fast enough.
The sooner they die of MRSA or AIDS, the better off the entire
world will be.
