If you go to the actual Vine there's an embed option now along with FB & Twitter options. I think they just updated the interface

I'm not sure about auto-playing. There is an option to turn off audio autoplay though
 
The fine is sufficient. At the end of the day, this is still a job for these players and they are employees which equates there is a level of professionalism that should be sustained, despite heat of the moment tantrums.
 
Michael Wilbon said that he says the N word every on PTI today in defense of Matt Barnes

I feel like I would die laughing if I heard Wilbon say n---a.  Like I believe that he uses it but it would just be funny to hear.
 
Michael Wilbon said that he says the N word every on PTI today in defense of Matt Barnes:rofl:  

Wilbon has said many times that he uses the word around certain company. He's just not dumb enough to use it on Twitter, because that's where all the feigned outrage comes from.
 
^^^ I guess I shouldn't be surprised given how the media is these days, but I'm still finding it hard to believe the Barnes tweet turned into this big a story. It was the main topic of one of the local sports talk radio shows here in LA today.
 
Is it big because they don't think Matt Barnes is mixed with black?

I don't think that's it. I think its more that there's a segment of the population that feels the word should never be said by anyone, regardless of the context. Plus, its in the public consciousness right now anyway because of the Richie Incognito thing.
