That is probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen... The guy in the green keeps having to make cut moves... he should be a running back instead hahahaha...
I am surprised no one got shot after this... just saying

They were actually DQ'd for being too white in the Hispanic games.
Ha, I actually ran in the hispanic games in hs, I'm white. That was back when the armory was a flat track and a homeless shelter downstairs.

I ran on the 168th Street track when it was flat,called the 122nd Engineering Batallion and before the homeless helter moved in.

I ran there, too, back when the track was made of grass and before the white man came and killed my people.

I'm pretty sure the Lenape chief would not have let you run there.

Pretty awful when your kid isn't even safe at a track meet...
Bronx-style athletics...
I also agree with the sentiments of previous sarcastic posts about the "Hispanic" Games. The event title does more to separate races and cultures than bring them together. They really need to re-think the title of this event. There was a good thread discussion on this issue last year.
Was I the only one stupid enough to click the Big Girl Gangnam Style video?
that was the funniest thing I have seen in weeks!

I'm glad both teams were banned. As soon as it happened, a coach and other runners ran to the fight, getting in the way of the actual race. And who the hell reacts to a bump in a race like that? I hope that fool in blue gets kicked off his school team. Making society (a specific part) look bad. It's a shame.
Why is it when black people do something it represents all black people but when white people do something that particular person simply has an individual issue?
Our sport in its finest hour , gang fights on the track , prostitution , inept governing body should be an interesting year...
The guy in yellow was flying, had already gained 10m and about to give the loser in blue whiplash. It was an accident, the guy in blue disgraced himself.
It was more than just an accidental bump. The athlete in blue had the baton knocked out of his hand during the contact, and felt that the other guy did it intentionally.
The video/fight has made its way onto the front page of Yahoo! this morning.
Apparently, one team (Mt Vernon) only had a "one meet suspension" while the other team (Jefferson High) has a month-long ban from the facility.

I've heard stories about guys carrying the baton in their left hand as they pass, in order to knock the baton out of a competitor's right hand. Are these kids smart enough to have planned that?

The homeless shelter was closed in 2001.

So what? Are you defednign his actions? Watch any other sport and notice the contact, most of which is intentional and most often illegal. Real athletes control their emotions and channel it properly. This guy was nothing more than an animal.
WORLDSTAAAARR!!
WORLDSTAAAARR!!
only the person who started the fight should have been banned. if the whole team got banned, i can easily sabotage my schools biggest rival since i got friends up in there

Of course I'm not condoning what the guy in blue did. But I AM saying that the guy in yellow might have done something pretty low which pissed the blue guy off. Unfortunately the clearest video that showed what happened doesn't seem to be available anymore. From watching that video of the entire meet, it looked to me like there was at least some intentional contact and that the fact that their arms were tangled up for several steps wasn't an accident. IF the runner in yellow did intentionally try to pull or knock the baton out of the blue runner's hand and was successful, I imagine that there might be an occasional athlete like the guy in blue who might temporarily lose it and be tempted to do something stupid during the heat of the moment. I agree that the blue team deserved more punishment, but I'm also not so sure that the athlete in yellow didn't deserve a harsher penalty than the rest of his team got, if he intentionally caused the guy he was passing to drop the baton.
