This is pretty embarrassing for everyone in my city. I really cant believe someone would do this.

If you threw a pack of Newports at him would that be considered a racial attack?

Nah, only if they were menthol Newports would they be considered a racial attack.

[k13]

You from London Ontario too?

[robzilla]

You from London Ontario too?

Yep. what area u from?

[TheCentaur]

Maybe he looked hungry?

[TR88]

yeah i do not like racist fukks, i fuk em in the ass and after I also release inside as well

6.3, 240 here ripped as fukk

[TheCentaur]

Look, we don't know the whole story here. Maybe he had been cramping earlier in the game, and the fan was trying to give him a source of potassium. Cramping has been a big problem in sports this year.

[GunShard]

Would it be sexual harrassment if you threw a banana at a woman?

[stevenash]

If I gave you a big banana, would you be my monkey man?

[spankie]

To be fair, what if he just happened to have a banana and nothing else? I mean.. if he through a tomato would it still be racist? Or because its a banana now it's racist.



fuking who cares! throw more bananas at the prick!

[k13]

Yep. what area u from?

Whiteoaks. What about yourself?

[onetrickpony]

poor guy had a banana in his pants so his date would think he had a giant cok then she left his ass for a black dude, that was story the media doesnt tell u.

[ttwarrior1]

if your ripped your not in good health, fact

bodybuilders are in better shape bulked up, they go on low carb, diuretics, etc and out of shape when they are on stage ripped, so you lose there tr88

Maybe the guy was just eating a banana

[Boscoe]

So Simmonds just wants to forget about it and put it behind him.... meanwhile the mayor is putting out an apb on the 'nana tosser appealing to the public to help track him down.

what he said.

[neverstoppers23]

So everyone is just going to make some smart-ass comments and pretend this isn't a big deal in the NHL.
umm-mkay.

[Boscoe]

Gotta love this sentence in the story...

A shocking incident with racial overtones at the John Labatt Centre Thursday night has put London in the international spotlight.

So.... reading that you're probably thinking, "Wow...was it a cross burning in penalty box? an effigy hanging in the rafters? the announcer dropped the n-bomb over the pa system? the mascot putting on a klan robe and form tackling the black players?" nope.... a fukking piece of fruit was found on the ice.

then another link says "Fallout continues"

What fallout? Did the Zamboni spin out on the banana peel mario kart style? Is the fukking arena infested with cockroaches coming after the fruit?

[Cap dat 4ss]

what he said.

STFU, the guy threw a fukking banana peel, not the whole thing. I agree most with Spanks, maybe it was the only throwable object the guy had and it was purely coincidence. Doubt it was racially motivated.

[neverstoppers23]

So it just happen to be a complete a happenstance that this guy was black, and at that moment was taking a shot. Right............. I am just sure everyone carries bananas going to a sports arena. Makes pur-fect sense. Come on guys. Its pretty obvious, no no its totally obvious what this guys intentions were.

[robzilla]

Whiteoaks. What about yourself?

Huron Heights.

[statnerds]

What if the guy that threw it was black?

[TheCentaur]

What if the guy that threw it was black?

Oh please let that be the case, instant classic.

[Roxxyfish]

was he hungry?

[mike-dub]

Clayton Bigsby?

What if the guy that threw it was black?

[Mikail]

Pathetic that in this day & age people still are stuck in ignorance. It must be hard holding on to all that hate.

[Winnipeg Jets]

so if a cracker was thrown on the ice near a white player would that be racist too??

nah...never only white people are racist.

[Winnipeg Jets]

Oh please let that be the case, instant classic.

yeah maybe he wanted simmons to autograph it.

[TheCentaur]

in this day & age

I love that phrase, should be used more I think

so if a cracker was thrown on the ice near a white player would that be racist too??

no, but a cracker on the basketball court- yes.

it had to be intentionally racist. i would say there is a 94% chance of that.

you should see how it is in europe sometimes for some black "soccer" players. there are videos of it on youtube.

its good to get into the other teams head; but when its home fans just being racist- its really messed up. (different situation here)

i would like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt and hope hes not a richas or a beantown jim and rather- just a fan trying to get a W on a preseason game. who knows.

[MC PICKS]

Clayton Bigsby?

[xraygord]

Mmmmm....banana.
