Amar’e Stoudemire Fined $50,000 For “Offensive and Derogatory Language” On Twitter
Twitter just keeps getting athletes into trouble. Today the NBA fined Amar’e Stoudemire of the New York Knicks $50,000 for “offensive and derogatory language” in a Direct Message on Twitter. Over the weekend, Amar’e got into it on Twitter with a Knicks fan, @BFerrelli.
Amar’e said he had finished working out and “B Forreal!” presumably tried to joke around with Stoudemire by tweeting:
@BFerrelli: @amareisreal: you better come back a lot stronger and quicker to make up for this past season mannnnnn deadasss!!!
He had a point, but Amar’e wasn’t hearing it, so he DM’d the guy the message, “Fuck you. I don’t have to do any thing fag.” If there was any question whether or not the exchange was real, a $50K fine should answer that. This is the latest lapse of judgement for Amar’e this summer. First he punched a fire extinguisher and cut his hand. Then he wore that outfit in public. Now this. Basketball can’t get here soon enough.

Still confused as to why he’s wearing a Star of David necklace.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:43 PM
He shouldn’t be calling anyone names if he is going to wear gear like that.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:44 PM
I believe he went to Israel to study the old religion. I think he is in that confusing space between being a christian and a jew.

Still confused as to why he’s wearing a Star of David necklace. Mole
He gets a discount at the kosher hot dog stand in Times Square if he wears it.

The latest fashion trend is Hassidic Jew. You can’t see the little curly long hair coming out of the back of his head because of the camera angle.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:47 PM
The NBA could fine him $50k every weekday of the year and he’d still have almost $1 million left. Tweet on Amare.

Oh his mom’s family is Jewish.
Man, so he’s the best Jewish athlete in the world then and still sucks.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:52 PM
He is Black Jesus, of course he is a Jew.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:56 PM
Unfortunately for Amare he is located in Jew York and I fear he is going to suffer a black Jesus fate.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:57 PM
Must. Not. Make. Jokes….
June 26th, 2012 at 4:59 PM
Black jews always tend to get the most value out of their stolen goods.
June 26th, 2012 at 5:00 PM
Like Jesus?
June 26th, 2012 at 5:01 PM
Did BigLeadSports fine him one case of Sprite?
June 26th, 2012 at 5:08 PM
there are a lot of jokes to be made about black jews. How I miss the PM crowd here.

On their 13th birthday black jews become a man and promptly leave their children.
