Shaq under fire for mocking disabled fan’s selfie


Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal is under fire for mocking a disabled fan’s selfie.

The retired athlete posted a picture on Instagram of his own contorted face next to Jahmel Binion’s selfie.
FOX 2 reports the post, captioned “Smile today,” earned more than 14,000 likes with former University of Michigan athlete Trey Burke and rapper Waka Flocka Flame joining in on the teasing.

The post has been deleted. But for Binion, the damage has been done.

Reason number 43,825 that people shouldn't take pictures of themselves.

So its the disabled fan’s fault not Shaq? Got it!

I'm sorry, but that picture is hilarious.

Shaq attended LSU. He isn't very smart.

Its called bullying!

What if it was your son they were poking fun at!

What's the political angle on this?

When you first saw the picture, you didn't crack up just a little?

You don't know????

I'd tell my son "don't be stupid, quit posting pictures on the internet"!

it's amazing the number of times things like that are done on VN and other forums without any thought. People have become desensitized by the ability to post online with things they would never do in their real lives

It's not his fault per se, but you open Pandora's box by posting pictures of yourself online, be it Instagram, Facebook or some other website. Don't post pictures that are prime candidates to become memes and then wonder how your picture became a meme.

So its his fault, not Shaqs who is not disabled and should know better?

So when people are bullied online etc its their fault?

Shaq seems to me to be overall a pretty decent guy. He is probably really regretting this right now.

Most of the time yes.

Not valid to form am opinion based on "Blue Chips", and "Shazaam".

 

[vols 30]

Most of the time yes.

Agree. Post a picture of yourself then you better be prepared for anything

LOL.

Nah, I was basing it on that commercial he does where he's driving around in the pretty small car to show how much room it has.

You know, VN never ceases to entertain. First thread I open in the PF this morning and I find this gem.

Anything by VM is almost always going to be worth a moment of your time, just for pure entertainment value.

I wonder what the outcry would be if a white Terry Bradshaw did this to a poor disabled black guy?

 

[volmaverick]

Let’s see if I get this straight:

Black NBA player make public ridicule of a person with disabilities

But get all bent out of shape when a white guy’s private views on race are baited and surreptitiously made public

That's kinda situation dependent. I haven't had a cup of coffee yet and I'm a little sore from digging up a stump yesterday.

Not exactly a good equation for dealing with his threads.

 

[utvolpj]

Most of the time yes.

that's incorrect based on what is required for bullying

What if the guy killed himself over this? wasn't some girls charged for on line bullying when a girl hung herself?
