A group of Jazz fans are looking to raise $25,000 for the Human Rights Campaign after Russell Westbrook was heckled with "excessive and derogatory verbal abuse" during Monday's contest in Utah.
Westbrook was heard using profanity in a verbal altercation with a heckler, responding to fans by saying, "I'll f--- you up. You and your wife." Westbrook said the incident started when "a young man and his wife in the stands told [him] 'to get down on my knees like you used to." Westbrook told reporters, "To me, that’s just completely disrespectful, to me, I think it’s racial, and I think it’s inappropriate and insensitive.
