A white Utah Jazz fan has been accused of being a racist Trump supporter after video of player Russell Westbrook shouting at him went viral.
Initially reported by Black Sports Online, Utahn Shane Keisel — who allegedly told Westbrook to “get down on your knees like you’re used to,” prompting the athlete to shout at him and his wife during a game Monday night — appears to have posted now-deleted tweets that used slurs and praised President Donald Trump.
“Come at me n****r boy,” Keisel tweeted after the incident began going viral, according to The Root.
Prior to the game, he also apparently wrote that Westbrook is a “piece of classless sh*t” and that someone needs to “kick his ass.”

Shane Keisel, the Utah Jazz fan who was threatened by Russell Westbrook, is a former Utah Highway Patrolman and Toyota car salesman. During the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 98-89 victory in Utah, Westbrook was involved in an incident with a fan, Keisel, and his wife.
The altercation was captured on video by Deseret News’ reporter Eric Woodyard. Westbrook told a security guard that he would “f*** him [the fan] up.” Westbrook continues, “I promise you. You think I’m playing? I swear to God. I swear to God. I’ll f*** you up. You and your wife. I’ll f*** you up… I promise you. On everything I love. Everything I love. I promise you.”

1. Keisel Says He Has Another Video of the Incident That He’s Going to Give for Friends in the ‘Social Media Business
Keisel told KSL in an interview that he didn’t say, “Get down on [your] knees like you used to.” Keisel says he told Westbrook, “Sit down and ice your knees bro,” as the OKC guard was getting treatment on his knees. Keisel says, “And he turned to me and was like, ‘That’s heat. That’s heat.’ I’m like, ‘Well you’re gonna need it’ and then it turned.” Keisel says he could not tolerate Westbrook threatening his wife saying, “She never left her seat, never said a word, hands in her lap… I’m not afraid of the guy. Come on up. But when you threaten a woman that’s 5-feet tall and 110 pounds, you’re a big man. So this guy needs to be exposed.” Keisel says that there is another video of the incident that he was going to give to “friends that are in the social media business.”
