Message: [QUOTE="kuethstheman, post: 119225, member: 480"] Race? When did hockey become the standard for white -dominated sports? Do you think if a white golfer sucker-punched and stomped on an opponent, he'd be suspended for 1/6th of his season? I think he never plays college golf again. Different sports have different expectations. My theory on basketball is that there's often a fight brewing just below the surface. Preventing a hockey-like atmosphere has to be a priority for game officials and rules-makers. I have no idea if 6 games is fair but I have two complaints: [LIST] [*]Cronin set an expectation that more serious action would be taken with his post-game comments. I expected the sucker punch/stomp guy (same guy?) to be off the team. [*]If not the same guy, they should be at least double the suspension of everyone else involved. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
