Roy Hibbert fined $75k for remarks
[QUOTE] NEW YORK -- Indiana Pacers center Roy Hibbert has been fined $75,000 by the NBA for using inappropriate and vulgar language during postgame interviews following the Pacers' 91-77 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
"While Roy has issued an apology, which is no doubt sincere, a fine is necessary to reinforce that such offensive comments will not be tolerated by the NBA," said NBA Commissioner David Stern.[/QUOTE]
Well I expected it to be 100k, but seems fair.

I can turn on my TV right now and watch all manner of deplorable violence being acted out right there. But don't you DARE utter a no-no word on television or you're going to pay.
But you know...freedom and all that.
'Murica, ladies and gentlemen.

75k for something that didn't impact the game at all.
Yet only 5-10k for this:

Re: Roy Hibbert fined $75k for remarks
Lol NBA fines players for saying 'no homo' yet NFL players make homophobic comments and nothing happens. NBA is a such a joke.
Re: Roy Hibbert fined $75k for remarks
Seems excessive to me, but at least the Dictator didn't ban him from game 7.
Re: Roy Hibbert fined $75k for remarks
Lmao, flopping would already be done with it if the leauge gave out these kind of significant fines for something that ..... actually affects the game
