Why this subreddit specifically?

Damn. Seems very targeted. Apparently there was also a previous hazing incident possibly involving the shooter. I read that on ESPN. Not speculating.

Because you don't usually hear about this type of thing happening on sports teams. What's with all of the downvotes?
TexterMorgan t1_iwd73e4 wrote
Probably because your comment could lead one to infer you’re saying it sucks this happened within the sports world but it’d be okay if it happened elsewhere

Is this another "thug culture" homicide?

What's that mean?

It reads like you don’t think Sports should have posts about it

I am sure that everyone says the three dead players are victims......but what did they do to the assailant to deserve a targeted hit?

Is this race baiting? It smells kinda like race baiting...
Assuming you are asking in good faith, the three players did not likely do anything worth being shot to death over. If that's what you are implying. People kill each other over stupid shit.

Which play were they seeing in Washington DC?

Why is this race baiting? Why are you bringing race into this?

Sorry if I misread, the "thug culture" comment can be used in good faith but can also be a euphemism for "black person involvement."

Oh. Thug as in three versus 1 and then the 1 retaliates.

Are you from outside the US? Otherwise you might be the only person in the country who sees a shooting, says something about "thugs" and doesn't see the racial implications lol

I'm canadian but yeah it's pretty american to take a word that has means nothing racially and make it racial.

Thug is often used as a racist dogwhistle in the US, this isn't something unique to this comment section.
[deleted] t1_iwetd7r wrote
yeah exactly. that's why i said its an american thing to do.

I'm sure no one else ever does this...

regardless, i think we can find common ground in the fact that thugs come in all colors.

Never knew the word thug had racial connotations lol

In the US media when a group of minority teens do something they are thugs. When white teens do something they are “troubled youths” that’s the dog whistle in a nutshell
