That word gets slung on baseball diamonds and football fields every day. I remember sitting court side at reunion arena ten plus years ago and hearing Steve Nash get called that all...nite ....long... by Sacramento guards. And I mean all nite long.
"Hey, my turn to work the faggot"
"This faggot is mine, bruh"
"Hey faggot, I got you all nite"
This went on all night. No fines, nothing. Just a part of the game and Nash didn't take it personally (he had a pretty good game). Now it's something you get suspended over??? Wow

It isn't tolerated in the NBA any longer.

Granted, those were referees, but I often sit close enough to the court to hear the players. They say every swear word you could dream up, but they don't use gay slurs. Maybe they whisper them, but it is really frowned upon these days.
