Laraque alleges slur from Avery! Options

[Guest_Ohdee_*]

I wonder what Avery called Laraque that has him so upset?

I bet it was nasty!

What would be really interesting is if there were any openly gay players in the league - terms like faggot and homo get tossed around all the time on the ice without anyone reporting them, but if some of the players were gay then that would probably get clamped down on pretty quick as well.

I would think with over 700 players and approximately 11% of the male population being homosexual that there would be a lot of gay hockey players.


I see Tie Domi has already come out of the closet. No surprise on that one.

Jimmy the Greek may have said something similar, but the infamous "little monkey" comment was Howard Cosell.

"In 1988, on Martin Luther King's birthday, sports commentator Jimmy (The Greek) Snyder said (on national television) that Black people were better at sports because of slave plantation breeding techniques. "During the slave period, the slave owner would breed his Black with his big woman so that he would have a big black-kid that's were it all started." Another sports announcer Billy Packer referred to Pro-basketball player Allan Iverson as a "tough monkey." Another announcer, Howard Cosell referred to Alvin Garrett, a pro football player with the Washington Redskins as "little monkey" during a Monday Night Football game. The comments made by Cosell and Packer did not go without any punitive consequences."

I stand corrected. Sorry, my memory of 22 years ago is slightly faded. Thanks for setting the record straight.

Look here if you need to brush up on your racial slurs. I mean you should never be at a loss when you need a good racial slur.

So Carter and Iginla are Coonadians?

I did not know that.

[Guest_Ohdee_*]

Bet it rhymes with "bigger."

Or "bar baby."

Or "soon."

Or Alabama Porch "Flunky."

Laraque, who is black, told reporters in Edmonton on Thursday that Avery called him a "monkey" during Tuesday's game in Los Angeles.

Oh, you were so close svts.

Alabama Porch monkey, not flinky.

If we can have puck bunnies, why can't we have puck monkeys?

[Alphadiver]

Who cares what was said to whom, personally with Laraque being French, it's quite likely that he may have lied in order to stir up trouble. For you people to call down Avery for anything is absurd. Thank goodness the NHL is less manipulated than some of you.

[Strangelove]

Shut the fuck up, nigger.

Yeah, and you'd say that to Laraque in person, right?




Typical cowardly stupid-ass racist.


Y'know, Laraque could pull a Michael Jackson and end up passing for white.


But you. No matter what you do, you'll always be an ignoramous.


Jigaboo-hating sumbitch...

Glenn Anderson + Wendel clark= gay for sure...just look at the 'stache...what about Messier....unmarried and dated Madonna ....as far as the racism and name-calling..it's absolutely ridiculous....you are who yo' mamma and papa made ya.....what you can avoid is being a total piece of shit like Sean Avery or John Rocker....put them on Half-Retarded-Man Island with Stallone, Pauly Shore and the weirdos who streak at sporting events

Shows what the fuck you know, which is to say: not a hell of a lot.

I'd welcome the opportunity to tell him "shut the fuck up nigger". In fact, I might just go to the next Edmonton game to do so. Why don't you buy us tickets so you can watch? Hell, I'll even print it on a large sign, so he can't miss it.

Years ago, at an old Canucks vs Flames game the teams were lined up for a face off. They were waiting for the puck to drop. My dad stands up, leans over the glass and yells, "HEY HUNTER, KNOW ANY NOSE JOKES??" Hunter must have been surprised as he started laughing. You could see him still laughing when the TV cut back to the faceoff from the commercial.

[Guest_SRsez_*]

WCE, don't you miss the old days when the glass was lower & you could actually heckle the players?

Like the time my brother yelled "Sandlak, hit him with your purse, you pussy", to which Sandlak replied "what would you know about pussy?".

But of course now that would be offensive to women.

Coon is another slur for black people.  It probably refers to the Portuguese word for slave pens or barracks, "baracoons". It could also have meaning as a shortening of "raccoon", as raccoons have a tendency to steal. Possibly from Dr. Carleton Coon, who, in the mid-1960's, theorized that blacks were less evolved than whites.

Sometimes the less you know the better eh?! kornholio...

Coon - from the practice of using hunting dogs trained to track "coons" (raccoons) to chase runaway slaves.

p.i.s.s. more fun with ethnic/racial slurs..

Corn Fed

Corn Guzzler

Cosby Kids

Glenn Anderson was well known around the league as having an ' alternative lifestyle' for sure. He was never outed and he and other players never had a problem with that.

LOL Wendy wasn't a fag, I met his wife... Wendal was just from Saskkatchawasteland, y'know, home of the metero-sexuals

Course ya can still sit there butt it's the family section now so now I'm limited to whispering in the kids ears and getiing them to yell the insults...
