The NBA has fined Roy Hibbert $75,000 after the Indiana Pacers center used a gay slur in one answer and a profanity in another during his news conference Saturday following Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Hibbert ended a response to a question about his defense on Miami Heat star LeBron James with "no homo." The NBA responded less than 24 hours later, announcing Sunday in a release that Hibbert was fined for "using inappropriate and vulgar language." The fine was handed down after Hibbert issued an apology Sunday morning, saying in a statement that he sincerely has "deep regret over my choice of words last night." "I am apologizing for insensitive remarks made during the postgame press conference after our victory over Miami Saturday night," Hibbert said in the statement released by the Pacers. "They were disrespectful and offensive and not a reflection of my personal views. I used a slang term that is not appropriate in any setting, private or public, and the language I used definitely has no place in a public forum, especially over live television. I apologize to those who I have offended, to our fans and to the Pacers' organization." Source: ESPN
OMG players aren't sensitive enough...STOP with the racial crap then apologizing minutes later...I don't believe the apology, I'm sure it's everyday language for him.

you cant say things like he did anymore. a few years ago you could and nothing would happen. but now its a totally different deal
My view is that IF you like saying that crap then fine..DON'T APOLOGIZE later for it..OWN THAT ya cat!!!!
