Gooden Heckling


Heckling by Los Angeles Clippers fans may have led to the Mavericks' Drew Gooden saying some allegedly insensitive comments during the Mavericks' game at Staples Center on Saturday. Gooden did not play and was dressed in street clothes behind the bench. According to the Web site Outsports.com, Gooden yelled a homophobic slur at a pair of fans seated near the Mavericks bench. The Web site said Gooden yelled the slur at actor Chris Wylde, who is married and is not gay and was attending the game with a friend.

Salty's Thoughts: Um, hey Drew, nice picture. And you're the one calling names?

People say things to hurt or get under the skin of people. Because you use a certain label does not necessarily mean you think that way. The object is to hurt, so you use the tools to hurt. If it is name calling and derogatory names, than that is it.
