I don't want to turn this into a racial arguement...

but I don't care what type of neighborhood you come from, black or white... this is organized interscholastic sports.
That type of reaction to anything just isn't justified or warranted. Someone made the arguement
that a lawyer would use the Ron Artest tape in defense... Anything less than an expelling would be unacceptable...
while Ron artest got away with it... is that really the type of play that we want to promote with our youths?

Not to condone what the Black guy did to the white guy, but we have no sound other than running commentary over
the video that we're being shown. It's possible that the white kid had been tormenting the black kid throughout the game. We're only
seeing... not hearing. I don't think either one of them should be allowed to play basketball again.

Why should the coach be punished? for all we know, he didn't have any knowledge of any troubles between the players previous to the incident,
if there was, it would've been obvious to the referee before the coach, they should have been warned with a Technical foul... at the very least.... and at which point the coach should have pulled the players... I blame the referee. Then again, maybe there was no evidence of tension previous to the play... in that case the black guy should be expelled and sent to the house of good shepherd or something... then when he returns, be under severe probation. As it is I think the white guy should be under the microscope as well for a period of time. There is no evidence in what we've SEEN that shows the white guy not provoking, but we were showed a 20 second clip...

The reference here is pretty damn racist, and unacceptable... he just called his wife a crackhead purely based on his race...

On top of that anyone brandishing guns online should be banned purely on the basis of being too retarded to be worth our time.

He called the "wife" a crackhead...based purely on her being a crackhead. He didn't say anything about her being black.

The kids' coach said that the boy elbowed the kid in the face twice. The kid even said on national tv that he had elbowed the guy. That's not pushing off, clearing out, or in the confines of hte game. It is called being a cheap shot artist. Unfortunatley for him on this day he got the cheapest and "hottest deal" of the day, good ole fashion butt whooping. Truthfully both are got some good lessons of life. The black kid will get some penalty for his over reacting and the white kid got a free lesson in what happen to you for being a smart @ss. What happened I think will make both of them better young men to be honest.
haha... i like this post. kinda plays on both stereotypes. Black = thug, white = knowing how to cheat/smartasses.

I guess if us asian kids weren't so busy driving rice rockets...

there is no right and wrong party in this situation.

all i'm saying that when i watch the video.....i immediately put myself in the POV of the father. i can't imagine the horror of watching my little boy getting pummelled in that brutal fashion.


That is completely understandable. But you can't just look at the reaction without looking into the circumstances that led to the incident in the first place. But for some unknown reason :roll:, the many here on this board want to see the black kid be put to death so to speak. Even got one ignoramous talking about having a 9mm to shoot a kid with.

What a joke, but I know, classy your a racist, lol. :roll:

time out...

how the ****** are you gonna go and classify all of ATOT by the one idiot in the thread everyone unanimously called an idiot....

You are a complete racist moron... all you see in the situation is the skin color of the people involved... you could care less about the circumstances of the incident.. all you care about who is whitey and who is blacky....

go die in a fire you worthless scumbucket...

That's why I hate playing basketball with black "kids", they are unruly, destructive, and don't practice good judgement under emotional stress on the court. Call me racist all you want, I grew up in Philly and played with thousands of them, they almost always try to talk smack and have no trouble throwing an elbow into you on defense or offense. I'm sure all that happened was a little jostling between the two, than maybe some yapping because of it, the one says something that might've angered him and he decides it's time to start throwing punches, just ridiculous.

lol, agreed.

I live near Philly also, and I wasn't at all surprised by this video. That's simply normal behavior around here.

this is classy. he always defends the black no matter what.

sad really. just makes people discount what he says even when he is right (yes there have been threads where he has been right).

but in this case? nope. what the kid did was vile. he should be charged. not just for what he did now but if he does anything in the future. that way he does not get a slap on the wrist.

aww look, someone else playing the "wahhhh everyone is against me cause Im black wahhhhh" feelings. Grow the **** up. Victim mentality is what keeps people in the hood.
 
I don't get where half the 'nerds' here are coming from....only the BLACK people talk smack on the court?...I'd beat up the guy if it were my son...and everyone assuming at the start of the thread it's the black guys fault.

All these fools talk about e-thugs and how they have skills like bowstaff and stuff, yet they really wish they had the cajones to be an e-thug themselves.

Maybe the white kid did something to warrant the beat down...to me it's just fists, hardly some lead pipe murdering. This is what happens in real fights, unlike the paddycakes a lot play just pushing and shoving each other taunting each other 'you start it...' 'no you start it'....bleh.

Hopefully the story shows something worthwhile to warrant the beating...I am going to check it out later.

Thats odd. Because you and many others want to throw the person who responded to the threat of assault under a bus, but completely ignore the instigator. Could it be the old ugly lets look the other way because the person who started it was white. And lets add this, the white kid admits he threw an elbow at the kid after a rebound and you can clearly see he throws another elbow at the kid going down the court. Now while the kid should have eased up on his punk @ss after he was down, the little bastard got what he deserved. HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS HANDS AND ELBOWS TO HIMSELF. Hows that for justification? Moral of the story: If you can't fight, don't pretend 😛

Threat of assault? Are you fscking stupid? The black kid hauled off and socked a guy who wasn't even LOOKING at him you idiot! Where was the threat? Then he follows the unconscious player to the ground and beats on his head.

I won't even address the elbows because it's already been clarified, and it's pretty obvious that it wasn't malicious. It's part of the game, and he did it when the black kid kept reaching in. Have you EVER watched or even played basketball? Elbows: typical Ground and Pounds: atypical.

You are truly an individual, classy. Truly.

No kidding... and sorry to lash out like that. Classy's response was just some of the most ignorant and racially-biased bullsh*t I've heard in a very, very long time. It's so ludicrous that it can't even be taken seriously.

Anyone who thinks the white kid did ANYTHING to warrant that kind of response needs their head examined with the business end of a shovel.

LOL. Are you kidding me? Yes, it is a real fight, but there was nothing that warranted a beat down in a school basketball game. It is ludicrous to think otherwise. If anything a swing would have had him ejected from the game, but the fact that he kept hitting the kid even after the point that the kid was knocked out warrants an arrest and prosecution.

Also, yes people who play ball in general will talk smack, but it is also true that it is almost expected to talk smack when playing sports and basketball with friends when you are black.

Hit it right on the nose. Basketball is a rough contact sport (I have many injuries related to it), but it isn't aggressively violent.

No I am not kidding. How do any of know what caused this?

For all we know the kid did something and perhaps the time to handle it was when you found him.

Dude, I seriously never knew talking smack in sports was a black-only thing. I just don't get it.

Also I hate to tell you this, in a real fight you don't stop swinging until you are sure. I doubt he realized the kid was already knocked out...still unless you are used to playground nonsense you aren't playing the you hit me, I hit you...you ok? no biting, pinching or pulling hair crap. no better fight fair crap. it's a fight, if you lose it you are probably going to be having some problems with your health for a few days to weeks or more. Same with even if you win sometimes.

Before I decide who was right or wrong I want to see the story, not the colors portrayed.

His problem is that he's too stupid to realize that by circling wagons and justifying the kids actions, he's just lowered himself and his household to his level. We now know that if any of our children are playing with any of Classy's children and elbow them twice clearing out during the course of the game, they are liable to be sucker punched and then have their heads beaten as they lie unconscious. How many of us are going to want our kids playing with Classy's?

It's like when there's a terrorist action by Islamic jihadists and you expect all the peaceful Muslims to come out and condemn it but they don't and you wonder why not. Until they do, we're left to assume that they all find this behavior acceptable or if not acceptable then somehow cathartic.

It's a shame because to tone for his entire identity group is being set, then, by the lowest common denominator.
