A hockey player and baseball player are like the tough sons you want to raise. A little rough around the edges, but they're relatable enough to take home to mom and dad.

Whereas basketball players and others with ethnicity in them, they come from the "wrong side of the tracks" with their "hardscrabble" form and unstructured uncouth ways

People notice "trashy" forms when its others doing it. For some reason they don't quite see it within themselves. Or they want to put more of a "noble" purpose behind it when they do it.

^ they are going to use that as an excuse for acting up in organized sports, professionally, etc., I think is what he meant.

Do white guys get involved in basketball brawls? Please post one where a bunch of white guys are 'brawling'... (not to be a jerk, but I just wanted to know if it has happened in the NBA or major sports).

*I've never seen Najera get involved in a brawl, either... he might foul hard, go for tough charges, etc., but have never seen him fight anyone.

Speaking of WHITE vs. BLACK, I thought this was kind of cheesy and could be included here :grin:
