Video at link. And Shaquille O'Neill could not be reached for a comment. I suppose his PR lackeys are preparing some lame meaningless apology. I'm not into basketball, but I've HAD some respect for Shaq, until now. So it's OK for him to pile on the bandwagon to all but burn at the stake some crazy old man for saying stupid things about some overpaid jocks, but it's cool to make fun of some kid who's face is disfigured through no fault of his own? So much for all that stop the bullying crapola. Classy, real classy

Yup. I had some respect for the guy but he’s just another fraud.

I would assume that this will cost him millions. Brilliant intellects always find their pedestal sooner or later.

Will Shaq be banned from commentating NBA games, will he be banned from NBA arenas as well
To: Impala64ssa
I like shaq but what he did is about the same thing that the nba owner did. We deal with special needs people all the time. What he did was harsh and needless.

The young Mr. Binion is taking it all in stride. He’s a classy young man and Shaq ought to be ashamed of himself.

Who the hell is this? I must refrain from commenting or I will be banned from FR as a certain NBA owner was this morning.

Not unless he dissed on blacks or homos or muzzies. But I repeat (tripeat) myself.

The person he dissed on IS black..and the other idiots who mocked this young man are also black..so black on black bullying..nothing will come of it, they will just say “Aww Shaq was just being his immature self” now, if Shaq were a Republican, CNN would take time off from looking in a black hole for a plane to report on this non stop

I’m sorry but is everybody a freaking victim?
“Somebody hurt my feelings once so I guess I’m gonna die.”
I’m sorry the guy has his feelings hurt but non-disabled people get their feelings hurt every day too. If you aren’t black, brown or disabled, no one pays any attention and you get over it already.
What I would tell my kid is that the guy has no class, forgive him, pray for him and get on with your life.
Getting revenge may seem sweet at the time but it will ruin you along with the hatred you accumulate from your grievances.

Nothing to worry about; you can only get banned from the NBA for life if you use the “n” word.
You can mock the disabled or, heck, commit murder, treason and armed robbery and you’ll only get fined.
To: Impala64ssa
Wow! Shaq's a real douche bag.

Yes, but in this case it's the double standard that's so repugnant. Shaq, a grown man (well in the physical sense, anyway), who, by his celebrity status is supposed to be a POSITIVE role model, by joining the crowd calling for Sterling's head on a platter is crying victim himself, yet he turns around and gets his rocks off making fun of and "dissing" some kid who BTW, is no where near as privileged as him.

It isn’t everyday that someone posting a selfie is physically handicapped or sensitive about their deformity. Shaq probably also have thought the picture was a joke or just a guy making faces before realizing there was a disability involved.
