Man Charged In Racially Tinged Incident At NHL Game

(CNN) -- A London, Ontario, man has been charged in connection with the throwing of a banana during a hockey exhibition game last week when one of the NHL's few black players was attempting a shot, police said Wednesday.

Chris Moorhouse, 26, was charged with engaging in prohibited activity on premise, which carries a fine of up to $2,000. It is characterized as a "provincial offense" rather than a criminal offense, the London Police Service said in a statement.

Again, if this hadn’t involved a black guy nothing would be said or done, at Red Wing games people throw Octopuses on the ice all the time, no one gets arrested for that! Black people need to grow up, or better yet, stay out of the last few sports that are still white!

Young adults should not vote for Obama b/c they think he is cool said...

This is funny maybe someone will toss a Banana at Obama's feet next time he gloats about other countries being better than ours.

I'm waiting for someone to throw a physics book, maybe Hawkings' latest, to see if any white guys get arrested. But, then again, I doubt any hockey players are reading THAT stuff. Does that make me racist? Or merely disdainful of hockey players intelligence?
