Celtics: Fan banned for two years was a moron, but not enough proof to say he was a racist

Spencer Buell reports the C's say they would have banned the kid - yes, he was a minor - for life if they had found proof he'd yelled racial epithets at DeMarcus Cousins of the Warriors at the Garden in January. Instead, they booted him from the Garden for two years because he was "verbally offensive" towards the Warriors bench.

It didn't happen because no one from WEEI heard it.
Right?
Well it sound like the Celtics didn't hear it either....
The Adam Jones thing was never clear in my mind (when was it said, were there people around, did the Red sox talk to people in that section, etc, etc) I've been to 250-500 pro events in my life and I don't think I've ever hear anything like what Jones or Cousins said they heard (I've heard slurs in plenty of other places) So yea I've had my doubts if Jones said it happened in front of other people.
I guess you would need more details. If this fan was right behind the bench and only cousins could hear (could be possible) then I would believe that. But it looks like the Celtics (I'm hoping) did a thorough investigation here)
Fan
Yah the fan must've been right next to Cousins, maybe exiting the court. I think assistant coaches/trainers sit right behind the players now. There's NO way that a racist word would've been yelled without anyone else hearing it.
In the defense of the dope
If no one heard him say any racial slurs he is a dope but he is not a racist.The proper punishment would be for DeMarcus Cousins to give him a well deserved dope slap.
yay sportsball!
move the celtics and bruins to new hampshire so they can be closer to their consumers.
and the racist idiot is most likely not even a boston resident. most racist incidents in boston are caused by suburbanite trash.
Go SF Warriors!
Nice dehumanization there. No
Nice dehumanization there. No doubt you have practice at it.
Jackass on parade
That'd be you these days, right, neverwasTheSoBoYupPup? Not that you ever did live in Southie.
God, you're such a dink. On Marathon Monday do you put a lawn chair by the side of the race course and yell at runners that they're doing it wrong?
