[Edited because I respect Marty and he said to take it down. But if you want info on the racist BYU fan you can just Google his name]

It's amazing the things you can find out about someone on the internet.

:shock:

Look close, it looks like the pool is right behind the garage. Small though.

I think we should send some of our players to play a pickup game on his backyard court. Just ring the bell and say hi!

I have to say that the comentsabout Mormans on this thread were very childish. What a pathetic group you are who did that. You must belong to the same UMass crowd that riots after the Red Sox win a world series. Makes you proud to be a UMass graduate

There was no "riot" at UMass after the sox won in October.

I remembered this post and let's give mla some props for the prediction, even if he did underestimate Chaz just a bit.

The kid's tweet was senseless, however he is a kid and I'm sure the parents are beyond embarrassed. The two sections of BYU fans from Saturday's game would be embarrassed. Anyone that has a teen looses hair when they find out what these kids do with social media.

I don't blame anyone on this board for getting angry and putting it out there, but let the parent deal with it, please let's take down the facebook links.
Oh my god, they love state schools out here.

I agree. Getting a little weird stalking the kid's house and stuff.

Glad we're all quick to call out this kid's ignorance but if I had a penny for every jackass 19 year old kid on the internet, I'd be rich. Send the kid a tweet informing him that his tweet was racist/ignorant/backward and move on. Getting his address, etc is borderline criminal (assuming someone were to act on your info). Given how ignorant this kid is, there's an outside chance his IQ is so low that he's not even fully aware of the racial overtones in his statement. Just rip him a new asshole on twitter and move on.

Was the person sitting on the bench Saturday wearing a white UMass shirt Jabari Hinds?

Spotted both Hinds and Clarke chatting with fans in the concourse after the game. Both seemed like nice guys. One fan who was talking to them was wearing a Big City jersey, a fact I couldn't help but comment on as I gleefully left the arena, filled with child-like joy after the big win and my subsequent, impromptu decision to walk down court side and give DK a congratulatory handshake as he walked off to his post game presser.

I didn't post anything that wasn't on the internet by just Googling the guys name.

I typed in his name an hit enter and all of that information came up.

People need to realize they have no privacy on the internet, especially if they are racists.

Racism is racism. Doesn't matter how old the person is. You don't get a free racism pass because you are young. It's always wrong, so please don't make excuses for him.

I'll edit the posts to remove the information from Google though, because I respect your opinion and don't want to give us a bad name.

But if anyone wants to look it up they can just Google his name.

BTW, the racist coward locked his Twitter account.

Whichever one it was looked more like a football player than point guard.

Keep up the good work Big Rich.
