The NBA is routinely described as being "full of thugs" while things like THIS happen in the NHL:

Hypocritical? Or just plain racist?

You need to fix your link. It turns up as a 404 error for me.

Hockey fights are semi-legal in the game, as far as I know of. I think you get put in the penalty box for it, but they do allow it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Basketball doesn't allow it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lil' tiny difference, there. Assuming it's racism is racism in itself by pointing out that the NBA has more black people and refering to them as "thugs", lol.

No, you can fight in hockey because the equipment is not a thin shirt and pants but thick pads and such.

It wasn't a fight (and the debate on whether fights, legal or not, make the NHL a bunch of thugs anyways is another matter).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dude got checked into the boards, got up, and when the checker came back around, the check-ee gave him a two-handed stick to the chin.

So what's any of that have to do with the NBA having mostly black players? :-s

I think he's talking about how the NBA is normally considered more violent then the NHL, due to the fact that the majority of players in the NBA are black, and most of the NHL is white. We all know that black people are stereotypically more violent then others (which is not true by the way, just look at all the serial killers, they are white), so the NBA gets a bad reputation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fights in Hockey are fun anyways. They are like two drunken idiots who can't stand up, but are fighting anyways. Awesome.

I don't know what's more ridiculous. Your comparison of the sports, or your claim of racism.

 

 

 

Seriously, get out.
