Zero tolerance for racial discrimination! Timberwolves expel fans involved

10:05am, 15 May 2025Basketball

On May 10, the second game of the Warriors and the Timberwolves series was originally a wonderful and fierce basketball game, but it was covered by racial discrimination. A fan used racial discriminatory language to warriors star chasing his dreams. After the game, the Timberwolves officially issued a statement on the incident, demonstrating a firm attitude of zero tolerance.

In the fourth quarter of this game, the security staff at the Target Center acted decisively to expel a fan who violated the NBA fan's code of conduct and used racially discriminatory language for chasing dreams. According to the audience, another fan had also made racial discriminatory remarks about Zhu Meng, but he left on his own before the security personnel intervened. His identity has not been confirmed yet. The Timberwolves are continuing to investigate the matter in depth and said that further measures may be taken. The full text of the Timberwolves official statement clearly conveys the team's position: "The Timberwolves and the Target Center are committed to creating an inclusive, respectful and safe environment to ensure that all spectators can participate in the activities safely. Any form of racial discrimination, hate speech and threatening behavior are not accepted in our game or in the community and will never be tolerated." This statement demonstrates the Timberwolves' determination to maintain a fair and just sports environment, and also sends a strong signal to the society to oppose racial discrimination.

Basketball should be a symbol of unity, friendship and fighting spirit. The arena should be a place where all fans enjoy the charm of basketball together. Neither racial discrimination nor other bad behaviors should be defiled. In this incident, the Timberwolves' quick response and resolute handling deserve recognition and set an example for other teams. We hope that through such actions, more people can realize the seriousness of racial discrimination and work together to create a pure and harmonious sports environment.

Back to the game itself, Zhu Meng played 29 minutes in Game 2, made 3 of 10 shots, scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. At present, the Warriors and the Timberwolves tied 1-1 in the series, and the competition between the two sides entered a fierce stage. In the next game, I believe that the two teams will do their best on the field to bring a more exciting showdown to the fans. Outside the arena, it is equally important to eliminate bad behaviors such as racial discrimination and maintain the purity of sports spirit. I hope that in future events, we can see more exciting basketball competitions and fewer such discordant episodes.
