A fan in Cleveland has been banned for at least a year from games at Quicken Loans Arena after what he said to Jamaican-born Patty Mills was caught on tape. Mills, who was shooting free throws at Sunday night's game, complained about the "racially insensitive remark."

What the fan say? "Hey, Mills, Jamaica called. They want their bobsled back!"

For that, he's banned for a year. Just ridiculous. Look, the "FU Trae" chant crossed the line, no question in my mind. But this benign chant doesn't even merit a PG rating, and for that, the guy's banned for a year. In this PC culture now where even the word "Mexican" can be considered a slur, I think we've lost our minds.
