Should athletes who are the subjects of racist taunts react/fight back, or ignore such actions?

I think they should be escorted out of the building and beaten severely in a closed room. If anyone asks what happened, the guy fell...many times. I really don't give a sh!t if a player runs up into the stands and beats someone's ass. I just feel sorry for the athlete because he is going to get the sh!t sued out of him.

People like you are what are wrong with society. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

and you are living in the wrong one.

You really at UCF? I don't know how you survive.

Huh?

Was your post some broad assumption that since I'm in college that I must be verbally berated all the time? I don't understand your stupidity, I'm sorry. Care to elaborate?

if an ignorant person in the street had yelled a race based insult... does that give the offended person the right to become physically violent? I think the law say no.

not only the law, but what about just maturity in general? It's a race based insult, but when it comes down to it, it's just verbal harassment. I agree that some words bring out the insecurity in everyone, and that it might just be subconcious for us to get physically violent. But, I have so much more respect for people who can just brush it off.

And 1 eye for 10,000 makes you the winner.
