If the fan knew how to act this would be a non story.


Do you know for a fact that the fan was saying racist things, or is that just something you're assuming to try to weirdly rationalize a grown man throwing things at people?


I love that the imaginary remarks keep getting more hateful and bigoted lol. You have to get deep into your imagination to justify Beverleys actions.

yeah the desperate reaching in here to validate his behavior is quite pathetic.

If the remarks were, in fact, racist then there's no way PatBev makes a post after the game saying he needs to be better. Folks need to stop inventing things.

And that's not surprising at all. Pat Bev (along with Portis and Beasley) talked a lot of **** during this series and they were all visibly upset at losing.

Arrested development in action. Lemme know when you reach adulthood. Hopefully by that time PatBev (a 35 year old man) will have as well.

One thing y'all really have to STOP doing is speaking for people and in particular women

You do not know her, you're not following her socials, you weren't there. Quit trying to assign to them reactions that make YOU feel better about their being on the wrong side of a man's **** behavior.

Lol as someone who was trying to understand the situation, if this is what really caused the altercation this doesn’t warrant having a ball thrown at you. Annoying yes, but I wouldn’t throw a ball at a fan because of this.

I'm sure him and his defenders will take this as a racial shot somehow.

Or they'll go with the "that's not what they really said" angle.

What does this tweet even mean? Is he saying the Bucks requested help from security to remove the fan and they did nothing?

Why? Because there are idiots like Beverely who will chuck balls as them?

These seats have existed for decades. Usually professional athletes have thick skins, because who cares what a bunch of dumbass fans have to say.

Except now they really seem to care.

Did your parents teach you not to yell racist things in public?

Do you know for a fact that the fan was saying racist things, or is that just something you're assuming to try to weirdly rationalize a grown man throwing things at people?

I mean im assuming, but most of the time in these kind of cities who are known for being racist im confident it was a racist remark.

I don't think he would have reacted that way for something else.

Well he did react that way to something else so now this is the part where you say you were wrong

Racist people are in every state btw

So you can go anywhere in public and yell racist remarks and not expect anyone to say anything or do anything?

Seems like you living in fantasy land. It goes both ways. If the fan isn't acting a fool then this is a non story.


The problem here is that you are just pulling **** out of thin air. You are assuming that the woman that Pat Bev hit said something racist even though Pat Bev wasn't even aiming at her. He was aiming at a different fan and just **** missed and hit another fan sitting nearby.

The other assumption here is that something extreme must have been said to elicit this reaction by Beverley. But did something extreme had to be said for Beverley to react like that? Not necessarily. Beverley could have just been upset at losing and being eliminated from the playoffs. In fact, I think that his reaction to that reporter later on is a clear indication that he was just being a sore loser (and, well, a misogynist as well but that's a different discussion).

So you can assume, but I can't.

Got it.

Has he definitively said that? Because he doesn't seem like the type to keep that to himself.


Nope. Even when Beverley tweeted about it he simply said this:

If the fan said something racial, we'd know by now. JustBuzzin is just talking out of his ass.[/quote]

I love that the imaginary remarks keep getting more hateful and bigoted lol. You have to get deep into your imagination to justify Beverleys actions.

yeah the desperate reaching in here to validate his behavior is quite pathetic.

His behavior was uncalled for.

Just saying we wouldn't be having this conversation if the fan knew how to act.

So this warrants Beverly retaliating in this fashion?

Funny how you accuse others of being soft but defend Beverly who assaulted someone because he got his feelings hurt.

I do not disagree that generally speaking, fans act horribly at settings like sporting events, and those that do should be embarrassed by their behavior, and that's well before we even get into anyone saying racist stuff.

The fans are a constant though, and that means that part of being a professional athlete is maintaining your professionalism such that you're not throwing things at people or attacking them physically in any way.

I've supported players getting fans tossed, and I wouldn't have had a problem if that's what Bev did here, but instead he decided to act like a poorly behaved child.

I said he should have went the Westbrook route and had the fan removed. But when these players snap I can't really take issue with it because they have to deal with fans yelling and calling them all kinds of names through the season. Some players just get fed up and lose it.

Bev seems to have a anger issue though. He already showed how he handled elimination games when he shoved CP3 in the back. Dude needs to fix whatever issue he has it's not a good look.
