In baseball, when punches are actually thrown, people are suspended.  Most "bench clearing brawls" have exactly zero punches thrown, and little enough pushing and shoving.  Hockey fights are one on one, and anyone who leaves the bench to join a fight is suspended for a longer time than those who were in the fight in the first place.  The sucker punch and the attempted stomp are way outside the realm of acceptable.  Even looking back at the old Derrick Coleman fight footage, he went up to people who were in the fight, and attempted to engage them.  Basically, honorable behavior (from a certain point of view).

Blindside punching a guy who doesn't know it is coming, and isn't even looking at you.  Are you really trying to defend that behavior?  Stomping a guy who has already been knocked down?  Really?  And by bringing racism into the discussion, are you suggesting that only black players sucker punch?  That viewpoint sounds very racist to me.  And reading your posts, that seems to be what you are saying.

If a hockey player or a baseball player stomped a downed opponents face, we would be looking at murder charges.
