Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook gets into a heated verbal altercation with fans during a game against the Jazz in Salt Lake City this past Monday. Westbrook’s explanation of the 32-second video in which he told off Shane Keisel and his female companion — “I’ll f--- you up. During her address to Jazz fans, she said: “We are not a racist community.” As both a billionaire and a white woman, she was not in position to make such an unequivocal declaration. “I can almost smell that experience of going with my dad to my first Knicks game,” Silver said in Utah. Aggrieved players such Westbrook have every reason to wonder why it took so long for this tipping point to materialize.
