Fans call Simmonds a monkey in Czech Republic after a scrap

Let me try and parse what each side really wants to say in here.

North Americans: Czechoslovakia was a communist country. All commies are bad racists like Ivan Drago. Ergo, Czechs are racist.

(Quit dwelling on this east/central/west Europe bullcrap, lol!)

Europeans: university degrees are cheap and plentiful here. But there's still racist assholes. Also, Québécois is to French what Alabama speak is to English. Pot calling the kettle black, you racist frenchies!

There! Cleared up this stupid, stupid thread for you people, so you at least know what you're arguing about. Also, FCM is on vacation, which I'm sure we can all join hands together and be happy about.

Good thing is that the hockey club HC Chomutov took several actions towards their own fans who did this..it was a small group of fans and the club will ban them from the stands.. They can only watch the games in TV from now on

As for the fcm guy

Europeans are MUCH more smarter in general than NA people..its known all over the World (plus I heard that people in Montreal speak some weird funny version of French which is even more sissy sounding than original French)

Your whole last paragraph is based on what? Show me the evidence that supports this. As for Montreals version of french it's got way more slang and if anything sounds a bit rougher than the kind spoken in europe, much like the english here sounds less refined than that spoken in England etc.
Anyways is a euro-puss gonna actually take a jab at us when he's got an avatar of a french canadian at the same time? We here in North America understand that you guys in europe don't particularly enjoy getting pushed around but yet have no balls to do anything about it. Prague isn't exactly known for it's "tough" Hockey.

Sir,

As regards geographic regions you are correct. That said in the world of mordern communication, transit, and communication I contend that cultural geography trumps physical geography.

For example, based upon your response above your idea/contact of/with Texas is Austin not Waco, and your "Maryland" is Baltimore or Annapolis not Hagerstown.

To illustrate my point look at voting patterns next Tuesday, demograpics on higher education, or simply the number of art galleries, non-chain restaurants, etc. in a given area.

But again, from a purely physical view I can not argue that East is West, and thus you are correct. Sorry if I implied otherwise.


All the best.

Not what I really want to say at all. My experience is that racists tend to be those who fall back upon their condition at birth for a sense of identity/superiority, as they have accomplished nothing since birth on which to draw said identity.

Find that the "free market" produces far more of such people.

Marx would tell you that hating on skin color is yet another way that the capital class keeps the laboring class distracted and fighting among themselves.

So as a North American I can not agree.

All the best.

Simmonds is ****ing awesome.

[FightingIsGood]

So, I guess what we have here is that even in the "much more socially and culturally refined" Europe, there are plenty of ignorant, racist jackasses who are really no different than Klansmen in the South.

Nothing to see here, folks...move along...

central and eastern europe being incredibly racist.. i dont know what your local media tells you about that but over here we hear about N word incidents happening in North America every second friday

i find the ending of the clip funny as one would think that it shows Simmonds sad because of the monkey chant but he of course understood ****..which is good.. It would be much worse if someone threw a banana on the ice. Good that we dont have enough money over here to waste it like that. People rather eat the fruit than toss it around the hockey rinks

Lol I've never heard of Prague being called the centre of Europe before

Tucker, that was my run at that fcm little poster. All the people except fcm living in there are cool. One day I will visit Montreal and I am sure it will make me feel like home as it is 85% european city.

Prague is not known for tough hockey because european hockey is played differently. It is same old like yours, we just dont pound each other while playing. Its been like this for more than 100 years and it will not change. As for toughness in real life, europe is not like north america where you have police backing up your ass everywhere, average north american would **** his pants if he gets into some incident which can happen at day light in europe

As for the Simmonds incident, lets burry this thread, incident was all over the TV over here, everyone involved in czech hockey said that the fans who did this are assholes and their own team will punish them. These were some rednecks who saw black hockey player for the first time in their life, we dont have any here. Black hockey player in czech republic is like if Tibetian laces ´em up in Canada

Absolutely does not surprise me. Lived in England for one year in the past, was attending there a high school. Geographical knowledge of my england schoolmates schocked the living piss outta me. Way how to raise a new generation of young europeans, England. Yeah, go UK !

As for Prague being called The Heart of Europe, maybe its because its located in exact centre of it???

As for racism in Czech republic and England, where are people more racist? Here or in England where if I am not mistaken half of city was almost burned down due to racial troubles and demonstrations. Never ever could happen in Czech rep

Read the facts, its just unbelievable how big is the racism issue in the UK:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism_...United_Kingdom

´´The British Crime Survey reveals that in 2004, 87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. They had suffered 49,000 violent attacks, with 4,000 being wounded. At the same time 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim of a racially motivated crime. The number of violent attacks against whites reached 77,000, while the number of white people who reported being wounded was five times the number of black and minority ethnic victims at 20,000. ´´

Sorry bro, thought for a second you were trying to rile all of us up but you were just taking a shot at fcm. Just so you know I was doing the same which is why I put in a smiley face. My wife has been lucky enough to visit Prague, hoping I'll go someday too.

Where do they teach that Prague is the heart of Europe...Czech Republic maybe
I certainly haven´t heard it before.
And the whole eastern european thing probably comes from the cold war era.

And regarding those statistics...how many colored people are there living in the Czech Republic anyway?

Why is Prague being labeled as a ´´heart of europe´´?
Because it is located in the exact middle of Europe. Do you understand the fact now?

The racist incidents numbers from UK make me sick you people act like in the Middle Ages over there. Its shocking to see that in this century
