He's 30.

He’s like 16 emotionally. Have you seen his videos?

I’m 44 and haven’t heard that word in decades. I’m the type that doesn’t immediately get out the torches and pitchforks without knowing all the details, though. There are many things on my rage concern radar, and this isn’t one of them.

Downplaying that word, by a 30 year old man, who has a huge following because of his job and video game streaming, is weak. Totally unacceptable

I’d just like to know all the details without pumping up the outrage machine to 11.

You do you, though. Totally unacceptable IMO.

What details are you missing?

He was playing a video game. Someone killed him in the video game. He yelled out a racial slur.

It's about as cut and dry as you can get.

Meh, that's quite an unnecessary leap. I'm sure Meyers is far from the first NBA player to use an anti-semetic term. We all know how rampant homophobia has been.

He's not. But he was one of only two players to refuse to take a knee for BLM.

All this is missing here is a Hitler reference and it’s Godwin’s Law at warp “speed.”

If the most important step is missing then maybe I wasn't jumping to that conclusion.
 
Funny. Back in the day he'd be in trouble for saying the F-word. Actually, I think it is still against the law to "broadcast" profanity, and I don't see how streaming isn't broadcasting.

I haven't heard the word in decades.

He’s already being punished for it. End of story.

Thats not even going to be a blip on the radar compared to what's coming next. The story isn't close to over. Why do you want this to be the end of his punishment?

The league has spent the past year immortalizing a player (Kobe) who used a homophobic slur against a referee in a nationally televised game, so spare me the overreaction now.

Kobe was the league's cash cow...Meyers isn't.....plenty of people disliked Kobe for that and rape, etc....the league let Michael Jordan scream at refs all the time and he didn't get Ts or foul out most of the time....too much money...he's staying in the game....Shaq used to step on people before he dunked and get the +1....he makes them alot of money....jerseys and shoe sales rule the league

Oh please. Kobe called a ref a homophonic slur on live TV and nobody cared. Two players earlier this season were bashing Jewish people to the point of saying they don’t matter.

Meyer’s is a big goofy white guy who chose to stand to honor his brother and those KIA during the anthem so that makes him a target for the White Guilt Woke Mob. It’s a word. People are such babies these days.

Sounds like systemic racism to me.

I don't think it has anything to do with "white" but a lot to do with "stupid"

All of it is....there's no argument at all....I heard so many high school kids use "gay" to describe anything they didn't like when my son was still in school....often when they played video games...homophobia is real but kids say horrible shit when they play those games online often. I've lectured them about it when they visited our home. I've seen all kinds of racism...non of it gets a pass for being stupid to begin with

Based on most message board demographics, I’m assuming everyone in this thread complaining about the word aren’t even personally impacted by it and are almost all White people.

Dumb thing for Leonard to say and he’s paying a price for it. Oh well...

There's no doubt there's a double standard about racism...when I was in the military I heard racial slurs from people of all backgrounds....I always said that it's no different for a black soldier to use a certain asian slur than it is for a Hispanic or Cuacasian or Native American...etc....it's racist and being of a certain race doesn't change that when people target other ethnic groups...Meyers has buddies in the military...a brother and he's friends with some Navy Seal guys too...I can guess where he learned to talk like that...probably read it in a book of theirs

What kinda moron live streams COD anyway, everyone knows how people are on there. Not excusing the guy, but that was his first mistake. It also sounded like he thought about what he was gonna say and said it anyway. Stupid moron. Good luck finding another NBA job. He’s not good enough to be worth the baggage.

I don't think complaining is the right word here.

I'm talking about the reality of what's about to happen to him. Whether I'm personally impacted by it or not is irrelevant. I have no control over his destiny. His fate is set.
