What's really messed up is whoever did it must have been planning it because why would you even HAVE a banana at a hockey game. Pretty sure they don't sell bananas at the concession stands. So the idea of a black hockey player was just so terrible to whoever did this that they thought "let me bring this banana from home in case I get a good chance to throw it at this guy".

kick it up one step higher - they brought this banana in but didn't even throw it until the shootout. At no point in the warm-up, the game, the intermissions or overtime did they do it..... they hung on until that one precise moment.

ExTha and thundersheep pointed out how this happens at soccer games in Europe, and that's to be (sadly) expected by now, but this, happening in my neck of the woods, London, Ontario? When I read the topic title I expected a minor league game in in some bumblef*** area.

The only thing I can hope is it was a fan from Detroit who was in town for the game.

This happens in Europe yes. Lots of racial slurs still being chanted too and stuff. It's kind of expected because hooligans are bigots. What can you do.

you can at least blame some of that on alcohol(still people being idiots but they do love to use it as an excuse), the banana is worse because it's so obviously premeditated in a lucid state of mind

I'm really hoping that he was immediately pointed out by other fans in the stands. One dumb guy (and probably with a couple of his dumb friends), it's still inexcusable, but there's always one. But the 50 fans around him thinking it's an acceptable act... that's when I think we have a real problem.

Just because one guy acts like a dickhead and people aren't jumping up from their seats to beat him into the ground, people are complacent and supporting racism. I'd like to think that they simply didn't care enough about it (Since the player himself seems to be keeping a level head about it) and were content with silently condemning him. I don't consider being passive in this instance a problem. It's not like they're applauding his decision.

I presume no racism. If he threw an apple no one would care. If he threw the banana at a white guy no one would care. Calling every act racist or homophobic is just the "cool" thing to do currently.

America is probably less racist than most of the world...racial pride has a tendency to create racism as a by product, but if we could overcome that we could mostly quash is for good.

Clearly he is a pretty lame hockey fan. If you dislike a player toss your beer bottle at him.

He probably went home and had his mom yell at him for throwing away the lunch she packed especially for him.
