Mary Babers-Green, best known as the mother of Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, was irate after seeing the comments from Louisiana-based comedian Andrew Polk, who said he'd like to see the reigning Defensive Player of the Year shot on his way out of the arena.

Green responded admirably after the comments were brought to his attention, but his mother had other ideas in mind, calling for a permanent ban of Polk after he deleted his account for the second time.

Polk had issued an apology after Green responded during his press conference, but Polk had deleted his account even before that due to the backlash he received from Twitter.
“I tweeted a very dumb thing meant to be an edgy joke,” tweeted Polk. “As a frustrated basketball fan, I go through ups and downs, and as a comedian, I don't always express those in a digestible way. I wish no harm to anyone over a simple game, and I apologize sincerely.”
His apology was met with a resounding apology NOT accepted from Green's teammates, including seldom-tweeter David West, who came through with a simple message.
Babers-Green followed soon after, relaying the same train of thought.

Polk's attempt at mixing sports with the violence rates of Louisiana backfired in a major way, likely the lowlight of his comedic career with an unsavory joke during these times where so much civil unrest floods the country.
