        ESPN is reporting that 42.5 of the MLB are people of color. But ur probably right about hockey. Per playing hour, NFL has way more concussions than NHL. The athletes are bigger and stronger in football.

        Makes sense.. but imagine if Baseball and a hockey was dominated by non whiter players the fighting would have been banned

        Meh basketball used to let it happen until it leaked into the crowd a couple of times. I think the barrier in both sports separating players and fans lends to it being allowed more than in basketball where fans are on the court.

        the point is the way fighting is looked at in baseball and hockey vs basketball and football is blatant racism. A couple white guys rolling around in the dirt is "good, old-fashioned tough play," two black guys would probably be "out of control thugs"

        Because they are ok with it happening. If they started laying down heavy fines. Like missing 25 games for charging the mound and 50 for throwing at heads and 5 games for leaving the bench, there'd be no more brawls

        could it be because MLB marketing basically shit themselves to get as many replays on tv as possible.

        Because it's "Americans pastime" and a predominantly white sport so it's ok. We have 4 major sports in the U.S and it's ok to fight in the 2 predominantly white sports....Go figure

        There is no type of fight in sports that looks dumber, and it almost always happens for a reason that makes the game itself look even dumber. #unwrittenrules
