This editor knows nothing about basketball, but he does know the Golden State Warriors are a basketball team. Warrior Draymond Green spoke up after a game against the Detroit Pistons. He found it "ironic" that he was given a technical foul for telling a white referee not to put his hand in his face.
"I find it very ironic that I got a technical foul for telling a Caucasian referee not to put his hand in my face. As a black man in America, don't put your hand in my face."

Fox News reports:
Draymond Green received his 10th technical foul of the season and the 209th of his career, including the playoffs. But this one in particular rubbed him the wrong way.
The Golden State Warriors forward was T'd up on Friday night against the Detroit Pistons after an exchange with official J.T. Orr on his own bobblehead night.
Green was upset that Orr, who is White, put his hand in his face.
"I will tell you, though. I find it very ironic that I got a technical foul for telling a Caucasian referee not to put his hand in my face. As a Black man in America, don't put your hand in my face," Green said.
"I said, 'Hey, don't put your hand in my face.' And I got a tech. So I thought that was the most interesting thing of the night, next to my bobblehead."
He sounds like a bobblehead.
This lunatic doesn’t even know what “ironic” means.

He sounds racist.

As a white man in America, this is getting exhausting.

Not everything is about race.
So Draymond does what Draymond does, actually gets a warning to stop, and then its racism when he gets a technical, got it. IMO, he should feel fortunate to even still be in the league. He is detestable.

Race? It’s about the black and white stripes, that’s it.

Imagine a referee being racist and only favoring the 12 white guys in the league. I think it would be obvious.
$90 million net worth and still playing the victim.

Of course Green, who is entirely responsible for his own brutal actions, and should have been banned from the league, would pull the race card.

This act is really tired.

Ok now we have racist referees in the NBA and now Draymond is going to beat them up on the court during the game if they show him disrespect.

Isnt he the guy who puts hands on everyone?

Green has always had anger issues. Always. He’s not beyond going after a referee, but in reality @Money23Green is soft.
