Why are bench clearing brawls acceptable in baseball and in hockey it's ok for them to start fighting 10 seconds into the game? And it's considered no big deal because it's just a part of the sport...
But this is considered thuggery? Why?

Because David Stern is a racist.
-
because baseball and hockey are still "white" sports
its the same ? with how whites were "indentured servants" but blacks were "SLAVES" -
i don't think i ever saw that fight between doc and bird. doc got a good 3 piece on bird when he was held up. it's a sucker move, but damn!

i think there are racial undertones.... u can fight in hockey all day and in baseball benches can clear but if u fight in basketball or football ur a thug

Fighting shouldnt be in sports

LOL @ Barkley hemming Bird up for Doc to wail on.
Teamwork, ? . -
Depends on the sport

they about to ban fights in hockey very soon basically American Hockey seems to be the only one to be allowed to do it. Hockey in other countries dont allow it and baseball for some reason gets a pass they had plenty of bench clearing brawls but nobody suspended except for the instigators but really doesnt matter if your a starting pitcher b/c u play every 5 games
