Hate to ask this but why does one race seem to do this? Attack on the track

Seems not long ago, we were discussing a hockey game in which white players started a fight in the first few seconds. Yet that doesn’t get your outrage, and in fact was applauded on this board.

Fighting in hockey is part of the sport and has been forever. Please try again

I don’t think anyone applauded it. It’s just part of hockey.

Concur. Brawls are legitimized into the rules and accepted as normal in hockey.

Nothing of the sort has occurred in track sports. Terrible comparison.

Parrot at least applauded it.

Interesting that the thread says only one race does this while you guys argue that it’s just the culture of the sport where white guys dominate.

It is the culture of hockey. Fights are actually allowed. There is a reason the refs stand there and watch until somebody drops. It’s part of the rules.

That has specifically to do with hockey, not the skin color of the majority of the players.

If you wanted to refute Weenut’s penchant for noticing skin color when the perps are black, you should have picked a better example. This one was pure garbage and ignorance. :-1:

many examples of black athletes attacking either oficials or other players

here are a few

You can ignore that something is normalized in a predominantly white sport and pretend race is irrelevant if you like. If it were black players or a mostly black sport, weenut would be calling them thugs.

The comments from your link sounds about right. :joy:

Just one.

Mr Trump will give her a position in his cabinet, win at all costs, The new America, who care what the rest of the world think, he will be impressed.

You should look at what race commits the most violent crimes in America, would you like a link to the DOJ data?

You should look up what gender commits the most violent crimes in America.

It’s men. You should look up what race commits the most violent crimes. Let us know what you find.

Statistically it’s trans women

I never called Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, or George Forman thugs.

I did.

Trying to compare the two things is asinine ar best.

and here is the reason for fighting in hockey

Cheltenham Sports.

Every single one of the “pro” reasons would apply equally to basketball. Yet, if there were half the fighting in basketball as we see in hockey, people would be screaming about how awful black people are.

Yeah, it’s part of the sport’s history and culture. I’m just pointing out that there is a bit of a double standard in how things are perceived. And what is normal in one sport–despite being despicable in human terms–is considered horrific in others.

Yet the thread claims only black people do this.

How many genders are there ?
