The NBA is doing what the NFL won’t: taking a stand for its players. @SingapuraDiva @iphoneque
So, the @utahjazz and the NBA found that the MAGA fan who set Russell Westbrook off lied over and over again to the media when he said he didn’t say anything vulgar or abusive to Russ.
Good on them for banning him for life from the arena. Should’ve intervened earlier.https://twitter.com/utahjazz/status/1105570407598321664 …

@NFL is a reflection of their ineffective leader@nflcommish. Good for the NBA for being actively involved in the players’ safety & welfare! That’s leadership.

This happened last night. Taking a day to conduct an investigation is no longer within reason?
-
I’m sure he meant during the game. Security came over and handed out code of conduct warnings. That clearly didn’t stop them. Should have been kicked out.
-
This is true, but as an organization this is about the fastest and most thorough resolution that one should possibly expect. I'm actually impressed that they were able to publicize their response within 24-hours.
-
For the ban, yes. They needed time to investigate. However, they should have been tossed and not given a microphone to perpetrate lies afterwards.

@ShannonSharpe they should have removed this fan during the game. Those tweets he deleted gives everyone insight on what he said during the game when the alcohol set in.#Atlanta Stay Focused Stay Informed#AtlantaStayFI#RussellWestbrook#UtahJazz#NBAThanks.

They wanted to investigate, doesn’t seem like they waited too long to reach the appropriate decision.

This ban should extend to Jazz's road trips as well. "Have Hate, Will Travel."

Wonder if they would have banned him faster if he was telling them to sell the team

Of course he lied, just like the big boss, even when there is video. I hate to automatically consider all MAGA liars, but they have to admit, as much as their big guy lies we really have to be suspicious of everything associated with him. Sorry, not sorry.

They got it right. Hats off to the Utah Jazz organization on how they handled this shameful situation.
