Read about the Jazz fan who was banned after an altercation with Russell Westbrook. Wonder if Utah is a state where racism is common. Or is if this fan is an aberration? Yes, it just takes just a few to paint all of Jazzdom and all of Utah badly. Is that what has happened? Or, are there a number among us here in Utah who are of the same cloth as the Jazz fan, Shane Keisel?
One way to get a feel for how much bigotry there is, is to read the comment threads beneath the online news stories? How many justify Keisel and what he did?
There is nothing about Russell Westbrook to suggest he is a person who gets down on his knees this way. Yes, it does seem he was referring to a group of people who were once caused to be subservient. Those who suggest Keisel was referring to something else . . . yes, we must wonder about them. Some of them might be innocent in their reasoning, and others not.
