[QUOTE="South Farms, post: 1402553, member: 590046"] geez, life was so much simpler in the 1970's - not saying it was better, just way simpler. No one had weapons, just fists. I played high school football at a private parochial school. out of 35 guys on the team, 3 or 4 were black. There were scraps during practice between white players all the time. A few times during the season there would inevitably be a scrap between a white kid and a black kid , and sometimes bad words would be spoken, by either player - usually the n-word would get said. These are either on the field or in the locker room. In the end, fists landed on jaws, chests or arms , and the fight would quickly end. The coach and the school had no tolerance for the racist language and the offending players would ALWAYS be required to do some type of school service together. More often than not, those players would end up becoming good friends. Something about fighting a kid first makes you respect him more later. [/QUOTE]
