Come on humanoids, it is only a basketball game.

I am saying this remark with my tongue firmly in cheek because they are some basketball fans that took the remarks of San Antonio Spurs basketball coach Gregg Popovich as the gospel accord to himself. Case in point is that Popovich as the end of the first game of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Western Conference Finals where the Spurs lost the game to the Golden State Warriors after Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard suffered a sprained ankle when Warriors center Zaza Pachulia stepped on Leonard's ankle. Popovich called Pachulia a "dirty player" which Spurs fans took it a signal to go to social media and make threats against Pachulia and his family. Please basketball fans, enjoy the game and leave the players you despise alone. We are not mind readers to know if Pachulia meant to harm Leonard on purpose of was it an accident.
