    There are no rules, only consequences.

  2. Maybe they felt he need some more potassium in his diet?

    This wasn't racist, they were concerned for his blood pressure.

    For them, racism is just a really easy (and I guess lazy, not to mention tasteless) way of getting under the athlete's skin. I can't think of any particular animal noise or fruit that would have that effect on white players. Minorities are just the easiest target.
    Its not like the fans do these things to people they see on the street. Fans of opposing teams, on the other hand, just may get an ass-kicking.
    Precisely. These fans don't go to a match to get sedated and be polite. Some people choose to get aggressive at a particular time and place, like a football match, while others who aren't interested in sport focus their energy elsewhere. It might seem shocking to Americans since American sport events tend to me much more sedate and the fans more reserved.

    Oh, wait, this could also be an elaborate Nintendo marketing stunt for the new DS Donkey Kong game.

    Stop pretending to know anything about sports. Do you think calling someone a "nigger" makes them play worse? That;'s like those people (read: Philly fans) that think that booing their own team helps them play better. Actually, instead of targeting you, I should target Europeans. They're stupid. They like SOCCER.
