Yes, this was VERY informative.
Although the number of times news reports in this called the black players "thugs" drove me crazy bc white kids wd be called "punks" - at worst. The fans were totally out of line. I remember when the is happened as well - but seeing as they only showed limited/edited footage - I thought the players were in the wrong. I'm so glad I watched this docu and got the real story. I found it to be very moving, showing a maturity that a bunch of black kids from the poorest ghettos are not going to have innately. Like when the guy says "why can't they learn how to act normal?" I'm thinking you mean white suburbs normal or do you mean Detroit fans-normal? Bc they're from the ghetto - it's a cultural difference!
