Hate hoaxes are good for more than supporting an ideology that cannot be supported by facts. They can also serve as a pretext for some fun brawling at sports events:

“High emotions, mass confusion and unfounded accusations of racial slurs were what likely led to a pair of fights at a February varsity basketball game between the Pasco Bulldogs and visiting Hanford Falcons,” the [Tri-City] Herald reported, based on its review of the police report. …

But the school resource officer for Pasco High School, Joseph Wysock, “interviewed the game referee and two Pasco coaches. All three denied hearing anything racial, and police were unable to establish any probable cause that slurs had been used.”

Allegedly, someone called a Pasco player “carrot top” and “carrot cake” because of his red hair.

“Pasco has a red-haired Hispanic player,” Wysock wrote in his report. “I interviewed him and he was unaware of these comments being made, nor did he feel that they were racial. In fact, he thought about making them a nickname for himself.”

It works for Scott Thompson.

This incident then is a double hoax – the slur didn’t happen, and even if it did, it is not a slur.

How nice that all crime has been solved, so that police have nothing better to do than investigate whether someone said something politically incorrect. No wonder liberals want to abolish the police. We don’t need them anymore.
