what a pointless article.
Richard Sherman: Double standard exists between race, fighting in sports | FOX Sports on MSN
Fights occur in nearly 30-percent of hockey games, and no one bats an eyelash, but Richard Sherman believes the reaction would be much different if there was as much hand-to-hand violence during a football game.
The Seattle Seahawks cornerback said Wednesday during a panel on “Social Capital of the Savvy Athlete” at Harvard Business School that a double standard exists between race and fighting in sports. Houston Texans running back Arian Foster, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and former NFL player and NFL players association president Domonique Foxworth also participated in the panel.
“It’s almost the angry black man syndrome, especially football players,” Sherman said. “I couldn’t imagine if there was a huge brawl on a football field, what the consequence would be, what the comments would be. There was just a huge brawl in baseball, a huge brawl. I haven’t heard about it since.”
“Hockey they fight every day,” Houston Texans running back Arian Foster chimed in.
“There was a day when they broke a record,” Sherman said. “They slapped the puck away two seconds into a game. Everyone said, ‘Man, this is good hockey.’”
“The refs skate around and just watch it,” Foster said. “If we fight, it’s like ‘Those animals.’”
“‘They’re monkeys, look at them,'” Sherman mocked.
Sherman can only imagine what the media’s reaction would be if a fight happened in football similar to Sunday’s brawl between the Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates.
“That’s the frustrating part, the double standard, the triple standard,” Sherman said. “The way an athlete is viewed. The way an African-American athlete is viewed in football or basketball, the predominantly African-American sports. Just a brawl — imagine a brawl happening in football, and imagine the coverage.”
It’s rare to see a fists thrown during a football game, but Andre Johnson and Cortland Finnegan’s fight from 2010 is the most notable from recent years.

what a pointless article.
All anyone has to do it look at our prisons and what % are black. Then look at what % of blacks grow up in one parent homes. That pretty much says it all and most white people are aware of those stats.
Then ya look at that athletic ability, the speed, the quicks and that agility. So ya have great athletes who if not for that athletic ability........................................... ..
And we have fat ol gots like you who jack off to these dumb s track times
rofl
Shut up got
if a black hockey player fights nobody would give a . on the flipside, white guys getting into a fight/brawl on a football field would be a huge story too. the double standard comes in respect to the standards set by the sports, not race. quit playing the victim for everything, tbh
didn't know black guys are forbidden to play hockey...
What's hockey?
Then we have total morons like you too ing stupid to know avbout anything.
Poor little .
Yes, you are one....
Come on ya little , now it's..."you're one too"....hahahaha!!!!!!!! GROW THE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't say "you're one too," I said you and only you are a got....
I'll go slow...
Little man, GROW THE UP.....ok? Look at yourself little guy, I've never seen a worst case of Avanteitist as you have. And you don't know anything, a total moron. Why not do something like the grown up do, ok?
Doi I own this asshole or what?
Shut up got

The Redskins, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!
predictable responses. when you put the mirror to these devils' faces, they get defensive and play dumb. props to arian foster for keeping in trill too.
please, white boy incognito got suspended for text messages, let alone fighting
like i said, and you haven't addressed, its a sport discrepancy not a race thing. there are plenty of black NHL players, and i've never heard outrage of them fighting and then being called thugs

Pushin B-Rad Trills ish in again.
pretty sure the only one spittin' anything hot in this thread is trill while gobblin' on some Sherman fiya sperm
for all of trill's "white supremacist alert" bull , he himself is a separatist and race baiter who always loves to play the victim
What is Harvard Business School doing listening to these clowns? Starting to believe what these conservatives say about liberal colleges.
Poor Richard Sherman, feel really sorry. Anyway I can donate money to his black struggle cause tbh?
here we go with the icognito card lol. the same guy championed by white supremacists who excused his bullying and deflected the blame towards martin. only reason he got suspended was because of the media attention the case got, stop it.please, white boy incognito got suspended for text messages, let alone fighting

hahahahaha@ the hockey reference. fool there are probably 20 something blacks in hockey, if that. if hockey was a majority black sport, fighting would be banned. y'all are missing his point cuz y'all are in victim mode right now. in black dominated sports, fighting and aggression is looked down upon and players are described as savages. in white dominated sports, hockey for example, y'all eat that up and cheer. double standard.
