NBA veteran C.J. Miles went off on social media about fans’ treatment of professional athletes following a Washington Wizards game.

On Saturday, Miles’ teammate Isaiah Thomas was ejected from the team’s loss to the Sixers in Philadelphia after an altercation with a fan. Following the game, Thomas spoke with the media and shared what led to the altercation.

Later in the evening, Miles sent a series of tweets on the subject. He shared why fans should not be crossing a line when talking to players.

Thomas responded to Miles, saying that disrespect will no longer be tolerated.

There is a chance Thomas will be suspended for his actions on Saturday. If that’s the case, Thomas will probably feel his actions were still justified.
