Philadelphia Hockey Fan Wears #17 “The Black Guy” Jersey to Flyers Games
All, NHL, Race, What the hell is wrong with people May 1st. 2012, 4:10pm

Philadelphia, ladies and gentlemen. Here’s a white guy wearing a Wayne Simmonds’ jersey with “The Black Guy” stitched above the #17. The Fanantic, a Philly radio station is trying to figure out who this guy is. I don’t know if they want to embarrass him or offer him a job. Whoever he is, this Philadelphia fan is proud to be the first one to put “The Black Guy” on the back of his sweater.

Typical Pennsylvania.

Too bad he was attending a Dodgers game.

I would have guessed Boston actually, but there isn’t nearly enough blatant racism for them.

Objection: Extreme racism

No defense for this dude. Just all around failure.

So…I laughed at this.
/wrong?

Yeah, one of the tags is not fucking appropriate in this post. Also, fuck this racist asshole.

The Black Guy who took a puck to the face in the first round that ended up scoring a goal for the Flyers. Guess that just doesn’t endear everyone. Unfortunate because Simmonds is a good hockey player.

Why should black people should be interested in hockey again? A black dude is as nervous at a hockey game as Paulina Gretzky would be at Bible Camp

Because it’s a beautiful game and one fan doesn’t represent the entire sport? Just a suggestion, totally cool if you don’t subscribe.

not that this has anything to do with anything, but id pay cash money to see vince wilfork try to skate.
…
if a goal’s 6′ wide, wilfork’s already 5.5′ without equipment on…he’d be the best goalie and doesn’t even need to skate. who needs a hot goalie for the playoffs? i’ll take 10% for being the middleman in this deal.

Yeah, I appreciate the shit out of Simmonds’ awesome performance this year. Fuck this racist ass clown.

Btw I’ve been to plenty of hockey games. i like it fine, but I’m not totally comfortable with the fact that a lot of the hockey crowd seem to walk lockstep with the NASCAR crowd at least from an attitudinal aspect. (Case in point: How Joel Ward was treated by Bruins’ fans.) And then when you think about what black NHL players say they have had to deal with coming up through the ranks, it’s disgusting. I have a Jamaican friend who grew up in Toronto who had to deal with racism when playing and he loves the sport and watches but doesn’t feel that it’s a sport reaching out to all groups. If the NHL was smart, they would snuff out the meme that “hockey is for white people only” because it’s out there.
