Several articles are saying it was his mouth guard that he threw.

The station is restricted by the NFL from posting the video, so this appears to be the only footage available, and it'll probably be taken down soon. You have to crank up the volume to hear what's going on.
If that's all that happened, I'd say not much will come of this. Hard to blame Collins too much.Comment

Why didn't Collins just keep walking? There is no reason to engage a fan at an opposing stadium. Nothing good will ever come from it.Originally posted by vinceThe station is restricted by the NFL from posting the video, so this appears to be the only footage available, and it'll probably be taken down soon.

This is the side of sports that I hate. What prompts fans to take such a personal approach is beyond me. I hope the fan is identified and dealt with, too.Comment

I think the packers fan standing there should have grabbed his legs and toppled that asshole over the rail. Typical classless chicago fan (be it bears or cubs)Comment

While I agree with you that Collins should have kept walking, I find nothing wrong with what Collins did. This wasn't about being upset over a loss or taking normal abuse from a fan. If the fans really did spit on him and use a racial slur, then they treated him as a lesser human being. Completely uncalled for and they are lucky all they got was a mouthguard thrown at them.Originally posted by PatlerWhy didn't Collins just keep walking?

Because he's not perfect, but I don't expect him to be. This is not the best course of action, but it is within the realm of a reasonable response.Originally posted by Patler
Let's not be unreasonable in our expectations here. Victims of personal attacks don't always make the "proper/best" responses. If guy punches you or someone you love in the face for no good reason, the "proper" response is to contact the police rather than take it into your own hands. I think most people would still find it reasonable to pop the guy back.Comment

NOT SHOCKING but Disheartening that this happens in 2010
Guess he didnt vote for Obama even though chicago native
not interested in getting into discussion but white folk need/should understand the intrinsic mistrust of white ppl by majority of black folk..i mean, its not like ONLY drunken, depraved fans still view the afrikan as inferior outside of athleticism
actually, even though i just said im not interested in dialogue about this nonsense i wold LOVE to hear what posters feel is the "rationale" for hatred, disregard, contempt etc towards black ppl by some whites??? long-held stereotypes, self-loathing, simple mean-spirit of some?
ive never understood what the africka has ever DONE TO the white man to elicit feelings of disdain; while black folk have historically sought "acceptance," liberation, or seperate identification
i can see fear of the malcolm x types but majority of my peeps pursued assimilation and peace ala MLK..
will racism EVER end?
is the DEVIL involved?They said God has a Tim Tebow complex!

Yeah, Ive seen him up close at training camp. Very jovial and great with the fans. I suspect his side of the story is true.Originally posted by JustinHarrellI can't run no more

Not a racist myself, and I have black friends. But to pretend this goes one way is naive. There are plenty African-americans that hate white people.Originally posted by MOBB DEEP
That is all my take on it, I don't want to get into a race debateComment

You are right Patler. It's an ugly side of sports that doesn't get enough attention. 99 times out of 100 Nick does keep walking. The same thing happens those other 99 times but no one hears a thing about it because the athlete keeps walking. I guess it's only news when the athlete responds.Originally posted by Patler
That guy was probably doing it to all the Packers as they left the field. Possibly at halftime and before the game as well. Its almost become an accepted behavior. We hear things like "it's all part of the home field advantage".
Sports brings out crazy (and often bad) emotions in people. Look what it was like here (PackerRats) after the game Monday. There were some ugly comments made here about certain players and coaches..... and those comments were made by Packer fans. "MM is a this". "James Jones is a that." "Burnett is a this". "Crabtree is a that". ""TT is a #@*!". What if those who were saying those things here would have been standing at the tunnel the other night. Would they have been yelling those same things down at the Packers as they left the field? And if so......why?
It would make for an interesting study!Comment
