    Shaq publicly humiliates and mocks disabled man

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/0...usaolp00000592

    This is despicable. Shaq should be fired from all his hosting duties. This is in the same ball park as what Sterling said except Shaq made it very public to the hundreds of thousands of people that follow him on instagram. But somehow I imagine most people won't give 2 shits he is mocking this man. I'm sure he will tweet out some fake apology. Props to this Jahmel Binion guy for trying to get some good out of it and promote anti bullying.

    How do we know Shaq was mocking this man and not just making a stupid face for instagram like millions of other people have done?

    Well he's a pretty classless dude overall (anyone remember the "Kobe, tell me how my ass tastes" incident?) so I can't say that I'm surprised.

    The OP is a little too obvious when he includes Sterling in his post.

    Shaq made fun(did he?) of a disabled BLACK man but I'm sure some kind of race card will get played by someone eventually
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Saw that coming. Everyone has made a jackass out of themselves at one point or another. Not everyone is a racist piece of shit who tries to make life as miserable as possible for those they consider sub-human. Fake or not, Shaq will probably apologize for it and/or end up doing something else to try and make amends. Sterling? Fat chance.

    I dont see the big deal honestly

    Is it a nice thing to do? No. Yet its not that agregious to demand he lose his job and be forced to apologize over it. If he wants to apologize then let him, if he doesnt he doesnt. If you personally dont like him now that he has done it, fine thats on you. People tease and make jokes at one another all the time. Guys do this to their best friends in the world. I wouldnt publicly do it to a person with a serious condition that you dont know either, but he did it and its really nothing to be in outrage over. It was obviously a joke in bad taste, thats all.

    we can't do that cause he is black, that would be racist!


    on a serious note....... would not surprise me if what i just said really happens.....

    but yeah if sterling gets a ban *which he deserved* so should Shaq, but we all know there is a double standard when it comes to these issues.

    Are these two people friends? It's entirely possible that this is just something they do, especially if Shaq and the guy have become friends through a charity or something. I had a friend in high school with a deformed hand and among friends we used to make jokes about it, including himself. To someone who didn't know, it would look demeaning, but it was just something everyone did to make light of the situation.

    I wonder if the man was not disabled, but still looked like he does, would it have gotten as much press and "anger"?

    Shaq called and apologized to jahmel. So no need to ban anyone. At least the guy got some time in the press to tell about his new foundation. Reporters really need to update their OP. https://twitter.com/SHAQ/statuses/461337634384912384

    Shaq is a throw back... Back to the time of dinosaur... He is huge, he is old and has a brain the size of a grape. In a few thousand years his offsprings will grow wings and fly away...

    So what you're saying is: nothing would have satisfied you, rendering your "outrage" meaningless.
