I dont have much to say on the topic, but Roy Hibbert was a beast in the playoffs XD He proved that he is one of the best, if not the best defensive men in the game. The Great Wall of Hibbert.

But for your answer, he is a celebrity and a hero to many young people. He gets paid a lot of money and they expect you to be professional on and off the court. No it may not have been fair and personally I dont agree with it but he will need to learn to not make such jokes. Even though we know it is only a joke it is still a professional sport. When you are professional you are expected to act professional. And unfortunately for him, being on camera is a part of his job.

I understand this, but the fact that his "y'all mfs don't watch us play" comment was treated much lesser than his "I let LeBron stretch me out no homo" comment clearly shows that there's a double standard, and it's not just a matter of being professional. I see the first statement as being less professional than the no homo joke personally, but that's definitely not what the rest of society thought.

Maybe it was just me paying more attention to the media at the time but I noticed them talking more about "You mf's don't watch us play" much more than him saying no homo.  At the time it was all over ESPN and Sports Center so i dont believe on or the other got more media.  The media didnt agree with either one, however some did agree that him saying they dont watch them was a true comment which is why they didnt have as much negative to say maybe.
