Knicks star Amar'e Stoudemire has been fined $50,000 by the #NBA for using derogatory language on Twitter, league office announces.

So stupid. Dude apologized and still gets a fine for one word. I understand that $50000 is chump change to him but still stupid.

The league needs to be diligent in not promoting hateful language. Amar'e got off easy. If that was someone else they would lose their job or have to go to "sensitivity training" or some ****.

Amar'e needs to grow up. I'm very disappointed at his reaction to the fan. He should have apologized and said "Yeah, you're right! I'm gonna work with Hakeem on some defense right now!" He needs to get his anger issues in check (see; this, the fire extinguisher, etc) and he needs to come back with focus this year more then anything physically.
