Cavs Ban Fan For Racist Taunts Toward Patty Mills
Can’t be out here slander the fine people of Jamaica, especially not this week after Safaree has further instilled a sense of engorged and veiny pride in his people.
An article on Sporting News details how the Cleveland Cavaliers have banned a fan for yelling racist things at their opponents. During a game against the San Antonio Spurs, the microphones at The Q picked up a man saying:
“Hey, Jamaican dog. They want their bobsledder back”
Thanks @thats_Z_Truth. I am a proud Islander. Like my Jamaican Brothers, me & my family in the islands of the Torres Strait have experienced racial slurs for decades. Hope your efforts will enlighten this confused, hateful fan. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/yH3nKlGv4A

The team reserves the right to reexamine the penalty after a year. Hopefully they ban this POS for life.
