OKC's Steven Adams Calls The Warriors "Monkeys"

[FTBS]

Aint no "foreigner" or "in the moment" excuse. He paused to search for the right words and "monkey" is what he came up with? Makes you wonder what he was originally gonna say .

 

[Weaver31]

Seems like just a poor choice of words....bad analogy.

 

[seemorecizzy]

He ain't mean nothing by it
Might blow up anyway

He know to not say that. Folks need to stop thinking these foreigners are dumb.

So foreigners are expected to be aware of the meaning behind every phrase and its potential societal impact?

 

[UserNameless]

Funny how when it's something perceived as a slight to blacks, folks want black people to get over it. But Jewish folks jump on any iota of perceived disrespect instantly, and you rarely hear a word about anyone making a mountain out of a molehill.
















...and according to some of y'all only one of the splash brothers is black... and that one's blackness is like a queen of spades possible on thecoli.com. So if it's a slight, I guess it's not a full slight.




















I'll wait.

Whether he knew it or not. He should have known not to say no shyt like that. He's in America now with plenty of black people paying his paycheck.

He already apologized, but I'd like to see full dialog on why that shyt was wrong to say, so other people won't make the mistake again.

Yes. He should have known. He's playing in America, he has black people on his team. Black people fund his paycheck.

Since when has ignorance been a valid defense?

 

[El Poyo Loco]

Hilarious...reminds me of when Billy Packer literally said the exact same thing about Allen Iverson on air. Called him a quick little monkey, and then apologized on air during the gamw when people starting calling CBS.

it was harmless then, and this is harmless now.

Saying quick little monkey cost Howard Cosell his job Billy Packer knew from experience he fukked up.

When you travel abroad, the first thing you are supposed to do is review the customs of where you are going and try to be respectful of the people there. Especially if you are going to live and work there and expect to be accepted culturally.

So should he have known it or should he have knew it?

though monkey doesn't have nearly the racial connotation it does outside of the ol US of A it still ain't a phrase that I would want to be called be I in Auckland, Houston, or London

 

[CurrencyChase]

I don't see anything wrong with that at all. You guys call @Blackthoughts all kinds of stereotypical words so i think "monkey" should be accepted in this sub-forum.
