    Shameful. It's 2011 for freaking sakes!! When can racism FINALLY be put to rest?

    On another note , why should racism be expected just because your a black man playing in a predominately white sport?

    Appalling or appealing?





    Edit: Since I did not realize he's black, my joke is very distasteful.

    Well, since we have done so well on getting people to stop killing each other over religion, i figure we will have this whole race issue tackled in 5 years or so.

    Why do you think they threw a banana?

    For what it's worth he probably bangs a lotta white chicks, and not just the condom-tampering quasi-strippers the small forwards and punt returners get.

    Because bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium (lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability and insomnia), the potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke, potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up. amedium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber, bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy, they are also easy to digest?

    Not to mention they're easy to throw....They're like boomerangs with the return.

    Amateurs. Everyone knows that if you wanna offend a black man you put a banana in his tailpipe.

    Per another article on the matter,

    It’s also not new for the sport of hockey. In 2002, Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Kevin Weekes, also black, had a banana thrown at him in Montreal during a playoff series. Former Florida Panthers forward Peter Worrell had also experienced the same racial threats.

    That's nasty. Once you throw a banana, you can't eat it anymore. The banana gets dented and turns dark colors. Has anyone ever eaten a bad banana? I did once in 1998 and it was a terrible experience. I literally did not eat an banana for 6 years later. Now I eat bananas, but only if they are fresh and/or they are from the Farmers Market. I've seen banana's being sold at Walmart one time when I visited when I was in the States, and I wondered when Walmart introduced grocery to their stores. I thought they only sold things like tires, t-shirts and pet supplies.

    Canada has some of the most beautiful black women ever in that country, who knew they were racist.

    This is news to me. I thought Canadians were more civil than that.

    I didn't know there were black players in the NHL. How many are there?

    There's at least 20.

    Iginla and PK Subban are two of the better players in the league.

    Evander Kane, Dustin Byfuglien, Anthony Stewart, Nigel Dawes are also very good.
