Magic Ticket Holder Banned for Season...
Hooman Hamzehloui, the Magic season-ticket holder who allegedly shouted a racial slur at Dikembe Mutombo has been banned from attending games by the Magic organization and the NBA.
Kudos to the Orlando organization and the NBA for suspending Hamzehloi from attending any NBA games for an entire year. The racial slur he apparently directed at Mutombo, a native of Zaire, can not be tolerated under any circumstances. Hamzehloui is reported to have called Mutombo a "monkey" during an exhibition game between Orlando and Houston last Monday.
Respectfully enough, Hamzehloui has made a public apology to Mutombo, expressing that he made an error in judgement. While I know he may not have intended to be as mean-spirited as it came, the damage was done. Orlando and the NBA dealt with the situation swiftly and appropriately.
Hamzehloui, in efforts to rectify his poor judgment, has offered to donate $5,000 to a charity of Mutombo's choice.
