The media? Everyone assumes racism immediately. Why? Did the person that threw the banana peel yell "Up yours ******!" (a Blazing Saddles reference) when he threw the peel? Did he wave a sign showing his hatred towards a people?
Or did some dopey fan throw the remains of his snack on the ice when he finished it? To assume racism without more of the story is dangerous. |

An idiot threw a banana peel on the ice. It could have seriously injured a player or referee. That's all we know about this. |
