he just had the banana there to eat as a snack. everyone knows it costs an arm and a leg to buy food at a sporting event.

Imagine the rukus if he had brought a watermelon to eat instead


people are blowing this way out of proportion. its not that big a deal.

I fully agree.

Its the media.....why would you expect any less?

 

[short stop]

Sure, I can see someone bringing a banana. Why the frack did he throw it on the ice? He's either lying or he's a knob with really bad timing.

NHL broadcaster and former goalie Kevin Weekes, who is black, had a banana tossed at him in 2002. He told QMI Agency he knew of several other black players who were targeted by bananas.

I cant stop laughing, and Im black. I would probably brush it off, but if Ron Artest, Jermaine Oneal, and Steven Jackson were on the ice it would have been on like Donkey Kong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdTawXaUqj0

So a guy who throws a banana on the ice as a joke gets charged, but a cop who sold drugs, sniffed coke and then got into a shootout had his chargers dropped...

yup, thats our canadian justice system at work

Ummm....can someone tell me what the connection is between bananas and black people? I thought bananas (and twinkies) were racial slights against well spoken asians? Is black the new asian? Am i not getting these memos again?

The banana personifies a black person being a monkey/ape.

Really? That's not even that clever. Pfftt....europe.....

He didn't bring just one....he brought two. He tried to throw on earlier in the game but it didn't make it as far as the ice.

It was racial. Sorry, but it was, and he's an idiot. It wasn an isolated incident and he didn't bring it as a snack. He's an idiot.

How do you know this? I haven't not seen or heard this in any of the reports. If that is the case then yea for sure there is no doubt and I'm sure it would have been broadcasted.

All over London radio and news that he tried to throw one earlier in the game (when Simmonds was on ice) but it didn't make it to the rink.
