A fan in attendance at Thursday night's Flyers-Red Wings game in London, Ontario hurled a banana at newcomer Wayne Simmonds during the shootout, according to Frank Seravalli.
After the game, Simmonds took the high road. The quotes via Sam Carchidi:
"I guess it's something I have to deal with -- being a black player playing a predominantly white sport."
Awful.
Oh yeah, he scored on the play.

And yet we're still the bad ones... We can't throw snowballs at a mythical figure, but others can throw bananas at black people. It's even worse because nobody will say anything about it outside of the bloggers.
