Sacramento Kings star Rajon Rondo, suspended for one game after hurling anti-gay slurs at NBA referee Bill Kennedy, has tweeted out a statement about the incident.
But he does not say he’s sorry.
‘I did not mean to offend or disrespect anyone. My actions during the game were out of frustration and emotion, period! They absolutely do not reflect my feelings toward the LGBT community.’
During a game, Kennedy had ejected Rondo and instead of leaving the court, the four-time NBA All Star stalked the referee and reportedly shouted at him: ‘You’re a motherf–king ******…You’re a f–king ******, Billy.’
Rondo, who had initially denied making the comments, will lose $86,300 in game salary because of the one game suspension. He makes $9.5 million per year.
Good tbh, I'm sick of sports people getting away with it and then acting like they didn't mean it. Bitch if you didn't mean it why did you say the word

Imagine if someone used a race slur and gave this as an excuse. Suspend ha!
I believe him. Many of us say hateful things when in the heat of the moment. He most likely didn't mean to say those things
HOWEVER what he did say is basically what he thinks most of the time. So he is just a disrespectful person in general he just hides it. So I'm not sad to see him get suspended lol
