I think that in the black community, "thug" has the implication of being a gang banger or drug dealer. Not the same as "bully".
Why so few criticisms of the league and the officials on this topic? Chaney had a press conference and threatened to use a goon - he should have been suspended then. If not, the officials should have been alerted to be on the lookout for this behavior and acted swiftly. How did this kid get 5 shots at the St. Joe's players? He should have been bounced after the first hard foul.
