He's race baiting now with the NBA throws a punch they're a thug, NASCAR does and it's cool.
Do you not agree with this?
It's accepted to fight in Hockey and Nascar (predominately white sports) but anytime a NBA player gets in a fight he looked at like a thug.
It's true, he's just not tip toeing around it like your used to with the media.

A) I don't feel people look at the NBA as thuggish if there is a shoving match on the court among players. I'm sure someone on twitter says that, but I personally don't find it thuggy and I think most neutral sports fans just accept it as part of the game. However, I think Artest and off court stuff taints how the country looks at the NBA.
B) Fighting in hockey is different. I don't follow hockey but I know enough to recognize that fighting has a much larger role in the sport than in NBA or NASCAR.
C) NASCAR is viewed as a redneck sport where the drivers are hot heads and the fans are trashy. Hence, not a lot of need to label Gordon trashy when it is pretty assumed that everything about NASCAR is already trashy.

Has to do with the sport, not race. Hockey allows fights in their rules. Baseball allows coaches to run out on to the field during the game and get right in the ump's face and act like a complete fool. Could you imagine if Les ran out to midfield during a game to yell at a ref? He would get grilled in the media. But Paul Mainieri can do it and no one bats an eye. Its just different sports.
And as for people talking about the Nascar fight being cool, I don't know how many really think that. Just a bunch of redneck hillbillies IMO.
