i didn't see this as racist at all. i just saw it as a re-enactment of any saturday cartoon show where the guy runs/skates over a banana peel, slips, and falls on the back of his head. the fact that people are calling this racist shows that they are the ones with the racist thoughts.
I feel like people blow shit out of proportion to hide the fact everyone is raciest. Its society that makes race this touchy topic and with that there will always be a divide. Honestly nobody knows the intentions of a drunk ass fan when he throws a banana peel on a rink. Shit Mario was driving when he throw a peel at Donkey Kong, he didn't even get a DUI let alone labeled a raciest.
@kovse16 I don't know where you come from, but NOBODY brings fruit, let alone bananas to the rink, unless, they're racists, with mean spirited intentions.
White people are getting so annoying. I'm a whitewashed canadian Asian. I'll admit it. And I'm unfazed/emotionless when it comes to racism. But I will say that it is getting ridiculously annoying.
meanwhile it's okay for this racebaiting crybaby asshole to call other players "fucking faggots". oh boohoo Wayde you fucking irrelevant bitch go cry to people who give a shit
@theotherone81 I guess this give me permission to throw crackers at white players then LOL! Its only fair.....I'm more concern that he could've slipped on the damn banana peel and broke his neck. You are a race bating youtube idiot by the way.
oh no a banana peel was thrown at a black player. if you equate that with racism i'm sorry you are a racebaiting jerkoff. go fuck yourself wayne simmons (did i spell that wrong? i don't want to get called a racist) you fucking loser.
heh to comment on the top comment imagine they started selling bananas at hockey games, $5 for a banana... i doubt the fan was even a full on racist he was probably just being a smart ass to get a shock laugh
Someone throws a banana at him? How is that racist? Oh I get it, people assume it's racist because he's black so it's a tease to him being a gorilla. Who ever says this is racist is racist, for assuming and thinking of a racist thought without knowing the reason behind the banana throw.
@gunsnroseswa "Being gay isn't a choice retard.." Afcourse being gay is a choice. You think you would exist if gay was not a choice? You probably think being black is a choice since you compare it to a sodomy aka gay. Do you think one chooses his skin color by birth? I don't think so. Sodomy is unnatural and its a bad behavior that one learns from peers, or society as whole. Sodomites wants to justify this kind of behavior to make it a norm, which is not. Do not compare the two
Simmonds is a hypocrite! I don't condone racism, but this happens and then the next game he is calling Avery a faggot. Simmonds is so "above this sort of stuff", so racial things aren't cool, but using an anti homosexual slur is ok?
@Provinceman do you know how many times people get called "faggot" on the ice, let alone everyday life? millions. i go to the mall and hear it all the time. And plus its Avery, its obvious he wanted to capitilize on the situation, he knew it would get blown up because of the timing
it probably was an intentional thing to try to be racist but i believe it is possible he threw it just to hope he misses the shot, like in comedy skits where people slip on a banana peal
@migo117 and i bet you're a retard. hahaha, that was dumbest come back ive seen in awhile. and no im hispanic and im not racist. at all. i hate that shit, hence the reason i called the fan who did that a hillbilly.
Avery is a low life piece of shit who disgraces any kind of nhl jersey. To throw a banana at a a guy whos really good at hockey and who plays the game with some class is just fucking stupid and thats ashamed that some people like that fan dont have respect for anyone of a different race. No one isnt gonna like every person they meet, but at least have the dignity to respect one another. No one said you had to be his/her friend.
whether or not simmonds called avery a faggot doesn't matter because guess what? sean avery takes it in the butt. oh and classless for the fan that threw it
Whatever, Nigger Monkey Simmonds used a homophobic slur to insult Avery. If you can't take it in return, don't dish it out. Wayne Simmonds is an ugly monkey who didn't go through evolution.
Just the banana peel...so he physically ate the banana before throwing it XD might as well not waste a perfectly good banana XD meh one fan doesn't represent an etire nation. No need to blame ALL of Canada. lol Racist are stupid. Only the unitelligent think the color of youe skin means something.
It isn't racist... only people who claim it to be, are the racists ones. Despite that, it is not right to throw any kind of food at a player during his shootout attempt.
Hockey has no room for racism, this one guy who was canadian, called subban a "N" word, when iginla (who is black) captained flames to finals, and helped crosby score the winning goal in the 2010 winter olympics with his magical play!!! Some "fans" are so STUPID!
One would think that in the 21st century, people would have gotten past this ignorance. It shows that racism will never end unless it is stopped being taught and passed down to new generations.

good for wayne , im from london and this was terrible , he is a great player and great guy good for him for not letting this bother him and moving forward , that guy who threw that banana is a piece of shit
@Br3nd3n14 KFC!? And let me guess, you'd get it if it was a watermelon too? It's a banana, monkeys eat bananas. Monkey is a racial term that idiot racists think is funny to call black people. Therefore, he was calling Simmonds a monkey by throwing the banana at him. Pretty classless and sad.
One of the Wings(Abdelkater) was classy enough to grab the banana and hide it in his ass,,,,,JimmyD commented afterwards give that apple cheeked youth a raise and arrange a meeting in private with me
@kokowawa337 stop being ignorant, it was clearly a shot at his race, the same thing happened to kevin weekes like 10 years ago, and not its not like throwing an apple or orange because apples and oranges dont symbolize a common racist insult towards blacks, black people r frequently made fun and called monkeys or primates of some sorts, that is one of the most common insults toward them, stop being ignorant, and nice examples with apples and oranges, those really made sense...
I think the question we all have to ask ourselves was this a racist at or did societly make it racist? I know the guy and went to school with him and hes no racist.
Do any of you realize this guy threw 3 banana peels in this game? it wasn't just at simmonds, from first accounts he didn't throw them all at simmonds. In my eyes the people who automatically assume it's racist if something is done to a person of color are a little racist to begin with. Why can't it just be harassing a hockey player? why is it a BLACK hockey player???
@chach7171 exactly, the scum bag politically correct fascist police who couldn't care less about minority rights just want to look trendy so they blow race issues way out of p-proportion. FUCK YOU POLITICALLY CORRECT FASCIST & YOUR NIGGER/KIKE LOVING MINDSET!!
It's kinda sad that you can throw a banana on the ice ONLY if there is no black people on the ice. What has this world come to? I want to throw bananas at every single black/white/brown/yellow/etc person, plz
it wasnt racist it was a gay incident the banana had a condom on it he actually tryed to give it to avery hahahahaha no room for this in the game but what do you expect from canadians
@MegaMma4life Most of the players you watch on TV are Canadian.... lol Its like me saying what do you expect from Americans? No I don't say that, have some respect.
Christopher Moorehouse, 26, of London. Google for articles and pictures ..... (what's with wearing a red suit and red tie?!?). Anyways, something for the job resume .... er, ..... NOT!!!
Wayne was pretty classy about the entire thing. I'm from London myself and I'm completely disgusted to hear about that. There's no place for that stuff in this world.
i don't like philly at all hell i hate them cause im a Pittsburgh fan but i hope this kid has a awesome year just to prove again that a races can play hockey
simmons looks alot like pk subban , Blacks are becoming very good at hockey hell they outsmart all the white in any sports god damn they are born with rhythm & good endurance & timing & strengh
@hayabusafmw Rhythm, endurance, timing, and strength have nothing to do with intelligence. In fact, if you look at any sport where a certain position needs to have intelligence, its dominated by white players. Thanks for coming out.
@jeremyzabrinas What position are you talking about? I thought that sports has a lot to do with athleticsim, if intelligence was a big factor then nerds would dominate sports..come on man get real. I know you protecting your kind of people and there is nothing wrong with that. My black people excel in sports and all praises is due to God because of that. We were not given a chance in any other field in society, mainly through discrimantion but you can't discriminate us in sports.
i think throwing a banana on the ice rink is a stupid thing to do - the person who did this is a pin head - the ref picked it up - now lets play hockey- move on people - let it go-
I'm a banana I'm a banana I'm a banana LOOK AT ME MOVE! YEAH YEAH! I'm a banana I'm a banana I'm a banana Look at me move Ahh Ahh Banana power Banana power Banana power Pow pow pow weerrr weerr Banana power Banana power Banana power LO LOO LOOO LOOK AT ME MOVE Uh oh banana time Uh oh banana time Uh oh banana time STOP! STOP!
they dont know its racist maybe thats the only thing he had with him a banana.. but still dick move to even throw anything while enjoying a hockey game
Sadly, racism will never die because ignorance is part of human nature.... Dudes that make those comments about "porch monkeys" and "niggers" would never EVER speak that way around a group of African Americans unless he wanted something really bad to happen to him.... Continue to play with class and dignity Wayne Simmons.....
Tell you the fact that you can't get away from a banana throwing incident at a NBA Basketball game since the league has tons of Black players in there. Also, same goes for the NFL Football because players are of color too.
Anyone bitching about him calling Avery a faggot is fucking stupid. Mic up any hockey player and I'm pretty sure you'd hear it more than just from Wayne Simmonds.
Lets hear the outcry about Simmonds' bigoted and disgusting comments caught on tape during his game tonight. Hard to feel sorry for him when he pulls a stunt like that only a few days later.
Only black people think this isn't funny. To be honest the majority of "niggers" are failures (dumb) thus the comparison to monkeys. Dont get frustrated because you're dumb though, its like saying americans are fat. Are all fat? No, but the majority is...
To resume stereotypes are there for a reason, get over it.
@2Garyable People of color have achieved many inventions and ideas that are still relevant till this day. For goodness sake it is 2011, the United States has a Afro-American President, and I'm sure most of you don't even know that it was in the early 1900's where the butterfly net minding style was first discovered in the Afro-Canadian league. Anyone who prejudges or stereotypes anyone based on the color of their skin, is in fact the ignorant one and should be considered a "nigger"
well i think the fan actually deserves more credit than this... he gave wayne something to eat. i bet hes a true for knowing Simmons would be hungry.. i would love it if someone threw canadian bacon on the ice when im playing..
bottom line is niggers will always be different then white pple and vice versa... get over it porch monkeys
I have to say, I really respect Wayne Simmonds. Not just because he's a very good player or a REALLY nice guy (at least, according to what I heard), but mainly because he didn't let this get to him. Most people would be making SUCH a big deal of this even after it was long over. So, thanks for being a gentleman, Wayne! And welcome to Phialdelphia!
Yeah it was racist like if someone at an NBA game tossed out a Mebership to Augusta National in front of Steve Nash as he comes down the floor. Now NHL fans are gonna have to walk through banana detectors.
now i can see how this is seen as racists. HOWEVER, who was the person that first made this a "racist" issue? Its what you make it out to be. Why isn't it seen as a dumb fan throwing a banana peel to maybe make the player slip and fall and miss regardless of skin THERE IS NO PROOF> THE MEDIA has made it out to be this way. Hope you all can see that. Does serving a black co worker a piece of chicken make you a racist?
funny somebody did this to domi way back when he played for the petes ...he's white as fuck this isn't racist

@chach7171 because its assumed that it was directed towards the black hockey player and the media portrays it to be that way.

It's kinda sad that you can throw a banana on the ice ONLY if there is no black people on the ice. What has this world come to? I want to throw bananas at every single black/white/brown/yellow/etc person, plz

@hayabusafmw Rhythm, endurance, timing, and strength have nothing to do with intelligence. In fact, if you look at any sport where a certain position needs to have intelligence, its dominated by white players. Thanks for coming out.

@jeremyzabrinas What position are you talking about? I thought that sports has a lot to do with athleticsim, if intelligence was a big factor then nerds would dominate sports..come on man get real. I know you protecting your kind of people and there is nothing wrong with that. My black people excel in sports and all praises is due to God because of that. We were not given a chance in any other field in society, mainly through discrimantion but you can't discriminate us in sports.

i think throwing a banana on the ice rink is a stupid thing to do - the person who did this is a pin head - the ref picked it up - now lets play hockey- move on people - let it go-

Sadly, racism will never die because ignorance is part of human nature.... Dudes that make those comments about "porch monkeys" and "niggers" would never EVER speak that way around a group of African Americans unless he wanted something really bad to happen to him.... Continue to play with class and dignity Wayne Simmons.....

Tell you the fact that you can't get away from a banana throwing incident at a NBA Basketball game since the league has tons of Black players in there. Also, same goes for the NFL Football because players are of color too.

Anyone bitching about him calling Avery a faggot is fucking stupid. Mic up any hockey player and I'm pretty sure you'd hear it more than just from Wayne Simmonds.

Lets hear the outcry about Simmonds' bigoted and disgusting comments caught on tape during his game tonight. Hard to feel sorry for him when he pulls a stunt like that only a few days later.
RigaFraction 5 months ago
Only black people think this isn't funny. To be honest the majority of "niggers" are failures (dumb) thus the comparison to monkeys. Dont get frustrated because you're dumb though, its like saying americans are fat. Are all fat? No, but the majority is...
To resume stereotypes are there for a reason, get over it.
Are you happy now mokyboy11 ??

@2Garyable People of color have achieved many inventions and ideas that are still relevant till this day. For goodness sake it is 2011, the United States has a Afro-American President, and I'm sure most of you don't even know that it was in the early 1900's where the butterfly net minding style was first discovered in the Afro-Canadian league. Anyone who prejudges or stereotypes anyone based on the color of their skin, is in fact the ignorant one and should be considered a "nigger"
oboy862004 5 months ago
well i think the fan actually deserves more credit than this... he gave wayne something to eat. i bet hes a true for knowing Simmons would be hungry.. i would love it if someone threw canadian bacon on the ice when im playing..
bottom line is niggers will always be different then white pple and vice versa... get over it porch monkeys

I have to say, I really respect Wayne Simmonds. Not just because he's a very good player or a REALLY nice guy (at least, according to what I heard), but mainly because he didn't let this get to him. Most people would be making SUCH a big deal of this even after it was long over. So, thanks for being a gentleman, Wayne! And welcome to Phialdelphia!

What about quebec players being called ''frogs''. This is accepted racism and it's as worst as calling someone a nigger, a kike or any other slur.

Yeah it was racist like if someone at an NBA game tossed out a Mebership to Augusta National in front of Steve Nash as he comes down the floor. Now NHL fans are gonna have to walk through banana detectors.

now i can see how this is seen as racists. HOWEVER, who was the person that first made this a "racist" issue? Its what you make it out to be. Why isn't it seen as a dumb fan throwing a banana peel to maybe make the player slip and fall and miss regardless of skin THERE IS NO PROOF> THE MEDIA has made it out to be this way. Hope you all can see that. Does serving a black co worker a piece of chicken make you a racist?
