He did goad the fans. I wasn’t saying that justified throwing a banana peel at him as a racist retaliation, my point was it was conceivable that he found the peel next to him and threw it out of anger - which is still wrong but less so if there’s no racial intent. When bananas were thrown at players in the bad old days the fans didn’t need provocation to do it. There in lies the difference, but people were ignoring that factYou said PEA goaded him and tried to use that as justification.
