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.
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.
