When did this turn into a racial issue and hate speech?

kccougar

That is exactly what Westbrook accused him of.

When Westbrook claimed the guy made a racial slur. Truth is made immaterial

I missed that.

Unfortunately, there are many who would still denigrate what Westbrook said if

I absolutely agree

The dude told him to get on his knees.

Agree

cougfanz

So what was actually said that was hateful? Because the "knee" comment isn't

He has no choice. Spida is a good dude, Utah is lucky to have him.

How does "Get on your knees like you're used to" constitute racism?

I've read stuff on the Trib that some on here feel is hateful & bigoted and I just don't see it. I guess that kind of

I’ll take a stab at why Westbrook thought it was racial - blacks have been seen

Anything and everything is racist these days

Twin Roots

I agree it most likely wasn’t said racially, but it’s not a huge stretch

Someone getting on their knees is a submissive pose. I can totally see this as being a racist phrase

IceBlueCoug

There are at least connotations. It feels like a stretch, but definitely could have racial overtones.

When did I do that? And where have I shown support for that position? All I said is I can understand a potential link

And is that what was said? I think there's a disagreement there.

Belboz

I have no idea what was said, but "get on your knees" just doesn't even make sense in the context. Saying something like

Love Donovan but it's pretty dumb to insert yourself into Westbrooks continual

Dynasty1

3/12/19 1:48pm

Not when that continual drama is with your fan base. Good move for Mitchell

PHXSUNS31

Westbrook has had drama with every fanbase. Bad move for Mitchell

Dynasty1

No he hasn’t.

Yes. I hate when people go full apologetic to the unsubstantiated rants
