It's always tragic when a child turns his or her back on a parent or when the student becomes the teacher and stabs the teacher in the back. First jazz moves from New Orleans to Utah and now its fans are being accused of racially insulting black players.
Stephen Jackson and Jason Richardson alleged that Jazz fans yelled racial insults at them during their Game 2 loss to the Jazz in Salt Lake City. KUTV in Salt Lake City reported on the story and got reactions from Jazz fans. Most vehemently denied that it could have happened with the overwhelming opinion being that Jazz fans aren't racist and the Warriors were just mad that they were down in the series.
"I like Bryant Gumbel and that nice negro boy from Whose Line Is It Anyway."
Now we don't know what happened because we weren't there but how can one state that nothing happened if one wasn't witness to said incident? Then again we shouldn't be surprised to hear Jazz fans claim they aren't racist. They've enough bad publicity as it is. First the Mormons use Mitt Romney to pick a fight with Rev. Al Sharpton and then white golf balls attack Real Salt Lake ex-wunderkid Freddy Adu on the gold course.
Where are you when we need you, Rodney King?
