That wasn't brutal or very much of a beatdown.

I'm sure you've endured much worse, Mr. Internet Tough Guy.

Why, I bet you were in a knife fight when you typed that response!

Totally different situation. Those girls kept trying her with the elbows and the front wedgies. They shouldn't have tried her like that if they couldn't handle the repercussions.

And her response was totally proportionate, and justified.
 
I sure hope the family of the girl that was being hit presses charges.

Seeing as that the white girl was the one being hit, there will be no major news conferences/no Al Sharptons or Jesse Jacksons coming to get their time in the spotlight...and for good reason the violence was (based on what was seen on the video) not based on ethnicity.

If the situations were reversed however...

Wow, just disgusting.

Are you insane? That's like below-normal contact in football. Yanking her hair like that could've seriously damaged her.
 
And stupidity is rather subjective in this instance. Your opinion is no more stupid than his. You only have a larger backing because you're on Neogaf.

Nope. The facts back me up. AiTM posted some of them. Black people are charged with hate crimes and accused of racism all the time.

Some white people are unfortunately full of weird victimization fantasies so they think otherwise, but they are wrong.

The gates to Stormfront are spilling open.

Even if these posts everyone is quoting are dumb and immediately confrontational, I don't see how they are racist, let alone comparable to Stormfront or the fucking KKK. Would things be different the other way around? I don't think so, this event seems so stupid that I would hope everyone can see that it's just based on one individual's mental imbalance. But obviously people feel like news stories are approached differently due to race, so why can't they say it?

Nah that's just how you play soccer. It's a contact sport if you can't handle it without flipping out you shouldn't play.

This is GAF. "Racist" is thrown around too much and political correctness rules. This board is ultra liberal.
 
i don't see the tripping in the video. looks more like a push? but yea, totally over reaction. what a loser.

and wtf is stormfront. don't want to look or click while at work.
 
By race
In 2010, the races of the 6,008 known hate crime offenders were as follows:

58.6 percent were white.
18.4 percent were black.
8.9 percent were groups made up of individuals of various races (multiple races, group).
1.1 percent were Asian/Pacific Islander.
1.0 percent were American Indian/Alaskan Native.
12.0 percent were of unknown race.
(Based on Table 9.)
Only one explanation for this.

If they didn't want to get the crap kicked out of them then they wouldn't have kept trying her. I'm guessing it was the entire team because you see red shirts teammates getting involved later on.

If you don't want to get punched in the back, then you probably shouldn't elbow somebody in the chest. If they didn't want to get thrown to the ground then they probably shouldn't have tried giving her a front wedgie. I'm guessing that doesn't feel too good or else the girl in the white shirt wouldn't be doing it.

What was the girl supposed to do? Would you sit there all intimidated and let somebody push you around like that?

Is it even possible to define "racist" here anymore? Here's my Mac's dictionary's offering for "racism":

the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.

Where does that apply to these comments? These people are complaining about media coverage, they're not saying that any race is better than any other.

What you say is true and I guarantee you it will largely be ignored.

I don't think they are racist but there is obviously a racial element and probably resentment in these comments. Aside from that I think the comments are straight up stupid and shit up this thread.

Except racism has been so liberally applied to just about any circumstance involving an altercation between people of different color that the word has ceased to have any real definable meaning.

Why does it even need to be discussed? This is about some chick getting her face punched in during a soccer match. Not media coverage of race relations in the States.

All of you should be ignored. You're contributing nothing to the thread.

Well they are saying blacks are better at getting more media attention when they are the victims....
 
Because these are teenage-girl punches we're talking about, and the one on the receiving end was covering up nicely for most of them.

Brutal would have been her turning around, decking the girl to the ground, and then proceeding to cleat-stomp her into oblivion while her teammates joined in.

For all we know, that might have happened if the grownups hadn't been around to intervene and pull her away. The attacker didn't seem to have any intention of stopping - even when the lady prevented her from throwing more punches, she was still dragging the girl across the ground by her hair.

Sure things could have been a lot worse, but it was still a "brutal" assault imo. I don't blame the parents for wanting to press charges.

No, the only people who should be ignored are those that stifle conversation, like yourself. The post to start all of this off was the FIRST POST, so clearly when people see the video in question, this is one of their first thoughts. If it's on everyone's minds, it is as à propos as it can be.

What is there to discuss? First reply was made by a dumbass. None of what he said is true, and the fact that this is a news story proves that everyone that claims it wouldn't be a news story if it was a white person being beaten are dumbasses as well. This was already on yahoo news yesterday.
 
Aww, c'mon... this type of thing is normal, what's all the fuss about?

The trip or the "fight"? The trip is definitely something that happens in every game of soccer ever. Beating the shit out of a girl on the other team is definitely not something that happens normally at any level of sports.

This thread has already sunk to disgraceful levels with people being apologists ("I bet she said a racial slur" is really just as misguided the "Treyvon is a thug" defense force), the false equivalency ("where is the CNN spotlight and President Obama?" is a pretty dumb thing to say, no one is dead or seriously injured), and others throwing out "racist!" and "reverse racist!" while diluting the meaning of both terms.

If some white guy had punched Bruce Bowen in the throat during a game, I would have said he had it coming. And I'm black. Of course, that assessment requires context.

Fact - a ridiculously salty soccer player took a questionable call personally and ruined the game for everyone else. She deserves any punishment handed down by the league and the law. If her actions were racially, sexually, or religiously motivated, that will come out if anyone bothers to follow this story.

I know, totally.

White people have it so hard! When will people open their eyes to our plight??

I don't know if you're really young, ignorant, and impressionable, or just an asshole. I hope it's the former and you still have time to learn.
