I laughed when they somehow got racism out of it but I do have agree that no matter what way you look at it that it was bad sportsmanship as you are supposed to be a good loser and a good winner. That's just people for you. Although in fairness to Fox they were just presenting people that thought it was racist and others that didn't and I mean while Urban Dictionary is a ridiculous source for a news story this is a meme we are talking about. A ridiculous story needs an equally ridiculous source to back it up.
Yeah, I can see it someday.Mcupobob said:
Gamer 1: FOX News just did a report that puppies are cute!
Gamer 2: Wait, did you just say FOX News?
Gamer 1: Yep.
Gamer 2: You hear that, people? How dare FOX insinuate that puppies are cute without including kittens! That's species-ist!!!
Gamer 3: How dare they!
Gamer 4: FOX needs to go die in a fire!
Gamer 5: This piece had nothing to do with kittens!
Gamers 2, 3 and 4: (all quote Gamer 5) Shut up you Glenn Beck-watching, Bush-loving, racist, Christian Bible-monger! FOX News would be the Devil, if he existed!
I'm sorry, fans being assholes during a sporting event is news?
No, there's no racial intent, but fans are just being douchey, as fans tend to be.
We had a soccer team here with a larger than usual goalie, and that team's OWN fans would heckle him by bringing celery to matches and throwing it at him, inferring 'try a salad, fatty'.
Sure it'd be nice if assholes weren't assholes, but this isn't a race issue, its an asshole issue.

To be honest, the only thing for which FOX deserves a punch in the nuts is that they don't have anything more interesting to report on other then that... like someone said they didn't pick a side in this quarrel. Though they did fail to understand the phrase anyway so good job :-D
The old black dude, probably coach, obviously doesn't know that "bro" ain't used just by black people anymore so whatever. The young dude was right though it does show a lack of sportsmanship but what really worries me are the 40+ white daddies saying how racist it is and how it might hurt someones feelings...insensitivity in sport? :O The guys who lost should get mad, train bit more and roflstomp the trolls team next year ... though I guess crying in the corner is an option as well.

"I think the word Bro has a racial connotation to it" LOL WUT?
Also, FOX news using Urban Dictionary as a source is hysterical.

Why is it racist? Because of the Bro part? I don't get it. I hear more white guys say bro than black guys these days.
Or is it racist because the guy who started the phenomenon happens to be black?
Total fail of a report
(also captacha fail, how am I supposed to type a 'schwa')

Actually, Fox isn't the ones to blame, they're not the ones claiming it is a racist term but rather reporting the "controversy" by the people at the sports game. They looked it up on Urban Dictionary. It's just unfortunate that many people at that sports game aren't up to date on their internet memes...
Wooow, I seen a lot of stupid things from Fox and elsewhere but this was a new low in tragically stupid
I find it funny how Fox is still getting hate for this. They reported on why some found it racist, then they went even further and attempted to explain what the actual meaning was behind it. Most of their viewers are not aware of internet slang, so they informed them.
Granted it isn't really newsworthy, but lets not even pretend that Fox is the only one guilty of that.
As for the actual story. I can understand why the school doesn't approve of it, as it's poor sportsmanship. But the racist claim is silly.

Oh hello there again Fox News, I see you are trying to desperately grasp at anything that could potentially be a news story... again >.>
