Fighting happens all the time. You just get suspended for future games and not 5 minutes

Why won't they allow fighting in the NBA but they do in NHL?
- Thread starter Sir Jebbi
- Start date
These dudes are on the ice flailing punches with pads and helmets on 
Malice at the Palace pretty much showed what would happen if fully heated fight happened. Not to mention what happened to Rudy T and Jeff Van Gundy nearly getting trampled.
The only thing the league needs to do is allow more physicality and have the bytch ass refs stop handing out Ts every time their feelings get hurt.

Why you single out the NBA like fighting isn't prohibited in every other respectable league

Now people trying to act like hockey/NHL is “all that than a bag of chips” 
?
The only people who watch hockey are the same people who watch NASCAR...hillbilly redneck ass cacs
.
There's been an effort by right-wing cacs, racists, etc to spread propaganda to make the NBA seem like the most “hated/disliked” sport in America, and we all know why that started during the pandemic season when the league spoke up about race and policing.
So now the criticisms lately is that the league is too Black, players making too much money, not competitive enough, and is politically outspoken, among other trivial things so now there's been a lot of push online to make the NBA look bad.

One of the insufferable things about living up here, White people in Canada will swear on their great gram gram that Hockey is the toughest sport.
All in all, it comes down to racism. They don't look at white men and black men fighting as the same thing.
When it's White boys, it's "boys will be boys"; good ol' tradition eh.
When it's black men, it's "look at these thugs"; what type of city behavior is this.
Let a black man show anything other than being humble and you know what type of time white people are gonna be on
Oh ever since the fight happened it's been on the news non-stop.

This is the closest thing to modern day Gladiator that these Neanderthals love. I’m surprised they haven’t green lit round houses.
Is it to protect the stars?
Alot of "tough guys" in the NBA would get exposed..
Because one gives the illusion that the guys are better protected with padding and helmets. NBA guys fighting would essentially be bare knuckle boxing. Leave that shyt to hockey and lacrose. That shyt will give you CTE. Also, it's a bunch of white guys... White people would lose their shyt if Shaq fukked up John Stockton in the 90s.
