All these "it's hockey... let them fight" posts...
:snoop:

First of all it's stupid and barbaric and distracts from the game, also sets a horrible example for kid fans of the sport.

And yes, these same fans who cheer for these fights are the same ones who are quick to call non-white NBA/NFL players thugs and ******s if they get into an even minor scuffle in their sport.

If you can't see the double standard then you are either dumb ass fukk or :mjpls: yourself.

FOH.

:mjlol:man get the hell out of here you dont even watch hockey. How tf would you know what "distracts from the game".

Newsflash, hockey IS a barbaric sport and always has been. The hits that are layed down regularly are 5x more savage than the fights anyway. Fights in hockey were, are and will forever be dope. If you ever been to a good hockey game you would know.

Fighting in other sports is overpoliced yes, but stop pretending to act hurt and offended like no one wants to see pro athletes knock each other tf out.

Man FOH I do watch the game. This shyt isn't boxing or MMA. Last time I checked you score goals by putting the puck in the net, not by knocking out your opponent.

If you want to watch fights go watch an MMA match or some shyt.

it actually is a biproduct of racism it just isn't all thought-out like that.

When White people see other White people fighting, they assume there is a reason and justify it. If two country white guys get on a fight in the streets, they surely had a good reason and police tell them to go home and sleep it off. If two white kids get in a fight in school, well boys will be boys. If hockey players are gonna fight, well it's a rough game.

When White people see Black people fight, they assume that the Black man is dangerous or animal-like and needs to be controlled. Thus a Black man who fights gets charged with assault, or might even get shot on the spot. Two black boys fighting in school will be dragged out by an officer in cuffs and may get expelled if not charged with a crime. And if you have the slightest hint of fighting by a Black man in a sport, it is an automatic ejection and likely a long suspension, not a five-minute penalty.

True, in reality that works out better for Black people in this situation, cause less fighting in sports is a GOOD thing. But it is still a product of White racism, a side effect of the fact that they see Black people as different than they see White people. And it works out horrendously for Black people in the justice system, in the schools, and in "Stand Your Ground" states.


Man I’m just as militant and about my people as the next woke Black man, but some of y’all be exposing yourselves and the way you grew up/what schools you attended when young (unless you’re still in school anyway)

I attended majority Black & Hispanic schools my whole life, work at a school now where out of a population of over 700 kids there’s only a whopping 20 kids who are listed as white attend the school. The things you speak of, kids fighting and getting arrested or shot are lies. I myself have been involved in this as a youngin, I had too many fights to count in school and never once was led out in cuffs or some extra shyt. Yes, there is overt racism in majority of things involving us (Black people), with sports being a microcosm of society as a whole so there’s racism in this as well, but this ain’t one of them. Fighting has always been apart of Hockey, it was never a part of other sports and when it was, it wasn’t as penalized as it is now (with suspensions and fines). But to make a comparison of Hockey and other sports trying to prove a point about racism is asinine, it’s a shytty reach at trying to sound intelligent when in actuality you don’t know what you’re talkng about in this situation (key phrase; THIS SITUATION)

Just my two cents, I usually don’t speak on race on here cuz it seems to be the hot topic of conversation now on the boards but this coming from a poster of the year I had to say something. Peace and blessings bro nonetheless, all respect at the end of the day if you are a black man :salute:

That is a blanketed straw man statement :stop:

Are there racist people in America, sure.
Are there racist hockey fans, sure again why not
Are all hockey fans racist? Yes or no

Since the answer is no, your comment applies to who it applies but it doesn't apply to everyone, doesn't apply to the majority either. Couldn't tell tho listening to you get your chicken little on :francis:
The post below yours sums it up perfectly.



Do u happen Caucasian?
The above post is the one you referenced, no I'm black, born in the Bronx, live in D.C. south east, and I feel my level of black consciousness dwarfs the majority. One reason being I don't let white supremic thought dictate how I should "behave" I don't give a fukk what they think about a black athlete "in general" because I'm not looking for their approval :ufdup:
I did not expect my comment to be such a trigger, this :cape: for hockey took me by surprise. :heh:

Okay, let's start one at a time:

1. It is a PROVEN fact that Black students are on average treated differently from White students. Black students are more likely to be suspended and expelled than White students, even when committing the same offense. And a Black student is FAR more likely to be arrested. If you haven't seen those news stories of black kids as young as 6 getting put in handcuffs by the police, or if you think that little white kids are getting cuffed like that, you live in a different country than me.

Black kids are way more likely to be punished in school than white kids, study finds



That article was loaded with graphs if you click on the link, and the disparities are massive. Here's another one:

At School, It Matters If You're Black or White



Now, what is your excuse for those documented facts? Research shows that Black kids ARE viewed as more dangerous than White kids.



Now I have unique experience in this, cause those who know me on these boards know I spent half my time in Portland schools and half in Inglewood schools. I saw a 13yo kid get stabbed in the chest by a pen in the middle of class by 15yo twice his size, shyt went half an inch deep, left a permanent scar, and the school sent the 15yo home for the rest of the day and he was back the next day. I saw a senior in the middle of the school cafeteria land four solid punches in the face to a guy who wasn't fighting back and he only got suspended one day. I saw a kid get caught with a knife on him IN SCHOOL after having threatened another kid, he was still at school the next day.

ALL that shyt happened in the Portland school, and every kid involved was White. That sort of shyt where fighting is handled in-house with minimal punishment is going on in white schools ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. There are very few Black schools where similar situations would be handled so lightly.



2. Is there a connection between Stand Your Ground and the above? Well I sure seem to be seeing a lot more White people killing unarmed Black people and using a "Stand Your Ground" defense than the other way around. If little Black kids, even little Black girls, are viewed as more of a threat, then why wouldn't the same be true of teens and adults? Trayvon Martin and Markeis McGlockton would be alive if they were White, I have no doubt at all. Once again, there is statistical evidence that Stand Your Ground is disproportionately applied when Black and Brown people are the ones getting killed:

Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ Convictions Have Racial Bias | Institute for Public Health | Washington University in St. Louis



And the issue isn't just Florida:

Is There Racial Bias in "Stand Your Ground" Laws?




3. Now I've provided ample proof that White violence in schools is justified more than Black violence, and that White violence on the streets is justified more than Black violence. So the question is - does that apply to hockey?

If even little black KIDS are seen as more dangerous than White kids, then doesn't it stand to reason that muscular Black pro athletes would be viewed more dangerously than White athletes? And if even killing someone can be justified when a White person does it, then doesn't it make it that much easier to believe a few punches could be justified as well?

Y'all are very fond of hockey, and I have no problems with the sport. But you want us to believe that it's just a coincidence that in the almost entirely White sport fighting results in nothing more than a 5-minute penalty, whereas in the almost entirely Black sport it can result in a 10-game suspension. (and that goes across more sports too - charging the mound and starting a fight in baseball tends to result in far lighter penalties than the same action would in basketball). Is it just a coincidence that the same pattern we see of harsh penalties for Black people in the school system and harsh penalties for Black people in the justice system just happens to be matched by harsh penalties for fighting in Black sports?

You can think it's just a coincidence. I think that view is naive as fukk. :beli:
And here is why you are the one who it's naive bruh :handshake:
I underlined "sounding" like a bytch because you seem intelligent and I didn't want you to take my previous point the wrong way. As Americans, as African American we are damaged by oppression and this can and too often leads to mental slavery. Because you're basically saying there's mostly white people playing professional hockey so they will allow them to police themselves but if it was a majority black sport they would police it more. Your examples of that was then the fact there's racism in America. That ain't it :stopitslime:

Hockey, fighting is literally apart of the game. Black folks created this sport


Now how do you compare a sport that includes fighting with sports that don't? Did football, baseball or basketball have fight penalties? You saying white dudes would square off then go back to playing "ball"

Basketball, you see how much money that sport makes and pays its players? You don't want James harden $57 million a year guaranteed injured due to a fight :usure: and everyone says and knows basketball players cannot fight but you let white supremacy dictate how you're thinking in this instance. It's business, not guilty pleasures. And when all hockey players are getting paid like how it is in the nba is when the rules will change there as well.

And all of this is not coming from a hardcore hockey fan. I went to a game in high school with a class and learned how it's a game of two gangs. I learned the rules via videogaming. Stanley Cup SNES to be exact. Eric Lindross was laying nikkaz out :manny:

Basically, at the end if the day, don't blame hockey for America's sins. And if you ever attend a hockey game you see things you can't catch on tv. You'll understand why fighting is a part of the sport. Has nothing to do with race, not that part of the game. I agree/already know all the other shyt you saying.
