And somebody needs to be banned from basketball for a long time...

Rajon Rondo, take a fucking hike.

Yahoo! Sports reveals in an exclusive piece this morning two very salient facts why:

• Rajon Rondo unleashed several gay slurs on NBA referee Bill Kennedy after an ejection in a game almost two weeks ago in Mexico City.
• Kennedy, an 18 year veteran of the referee ranks in the NBA, came out as gay to Adrian Wojnarowski on Sunday.

If the comments made on an unconsenting tape of the racism of Donald Sterling (as well as other similar factors) are worth throwing him out of the league, why is this only worth a one-game suspension, especially in the Adam Silver NBA?

For the record, Rondo denies the comments.
