NBA Denver Nuggets Head Coach Suspended For Hispanic Focused Slur.
November 17, 2001
Dan Issel head coach for the National Basketball Association Denver Nuggets team, was suspended for four games after shouting a derogatory remark to a fan after a loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night.
The Denver Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the United Latin American Citizens are demanding that Issel resign.
In today’s current sensitive environment, a high profile figure such as Issel should not be allowed to make such remarks and only given a small punishment for their actions.
Issel yelled: “Go drink another beer, you Mexican %#@*&!” to a fan.
Your call. Go to the HispanicAd.com poll and post your vote. Should he be fired, reprimanded or should he resign and accept his own actions.
