LaMelo Ball Fined $100k by the NBA for saying "No Homo" in an interview. He clearly wasn't talking about milk. He dropped the "No Homo" after saying something about "we loaded up", which he apparently felt warranted a "NO HOMO".
There was a time when "No Homo" was a respected and comedic phrase men would drop when what they said unintentionally had a sexual innuendo to it. It was generally accepted terminology amongst most people. It wasn't an anti-gay slur, but more a "I'm not trying to be gay" but what I said sounded pretty gay. It is up there with "Your Mom" and "That's what she said".
The NBA in this woke and anti-comediy era has a different opinion because they fined him 100k for saying it. They say that it is "anti-gay" language and that it is "offensive". One could argue that punishing a man for clarifying what he said wasn't meant to sound gay is "anti-straight" dude language and thus discrimination. Saying "this sounds gay, but isn't gay" is not really anti-gay or offensive.
Not to mention they are still "homosexuals" and there are far more offensive ways to present that kind of "lifestyle" to the world.
Ultimately, he could also just be referencing milk because he doesn't believe in the Homogenizing process because it degrades the quality of the milk and he's more of a raw milk enthusiasts.
Which apparently the NBA with their lack of sense of humor isn't having either!
