If you missed Wednesday night’s #SSsports Twitter chat, here are some highlights below:
On Kobe Bryant’s $100,000 fine for hurling a gay slur…
@MattG2484: I bet athletes just laugh when they get fined. Take away a game and make him donate 1 game salary to charity #SSsports
@RTiongson: I’m sure there’s worse stuff said during games but a slur’s what it is. He’d not like it if a racial one was used. #SSsports
@zhelonu14: #SSsports I like the punishment, but let’s make sure everyone gets punished the same way, whether it’s Kobe or the 12th man on the Cavs.
@Tyler__Elliott: All heat of the moment. Where were cameras when MJ was supposedly threatening players? Some moments we shldnt see #SSsports
@MinisterofD: Agreed. Also, if thats the worst thing said on an NBA court this year then theyre doing great. #SSsports
On Josh Hamilton calling out third-base coach Dave Anderson…
@Djstar1973: @MinisterofD What choice did Hamilton have? He’s out by a mile if he slides feet first! Head first was only option. #SSsports
@mtread72: Have to defer to John Kruk, who should know as former player: Said it is player’s decision, period. #SSSports
@alaskansurveyor: Ron Washington is/was famous for his ‘windmill’ send’em in Oakland, sure he didn’t mind the ‘go’ call. #SSsports
@A_RamseyLTSB: bad slide or not, sending your star on a risky play like that in the 1st inning is ill-advised #SSSports
@exilerugby: Hey, at least he got hurt during the game. Remember Smoltz ironing his shirts while wearing them?? #SSsports
On the NHL playoffs…
@johnsop1: People are stepping all over themselves saying Crosby won’t play, I think he comes back in round 2 #SSsports
@MDBywater: Buf hottest team in hockey since Xmas, flying under the radar, Miller is back and rested, Vanek in scoring form #SSsports
@ronwahl: @jstar1973 @susanshanchat goaltending is fickle though, never know when a no name will be awesome for a month #SSsports
@outlaw_pete_: #SSsports if VAN can figure out CHI they can go all the way. Here in BOS the fans won’t accept anything less than a trip to the finals
@DBYankees1: How about a James Dolan daily double? Knicks/Rangers titles!! No? Not gonna happen? lol #sssports
