Hopefully the kid, (who punches then runs while his teammates get a hiding), has learnt a lesson about how unideal the world actually is
Did you even watch the footage? Kickett didn’t ‘run’. He took several punches and an elbow to the head from players that charged off the bench. So with 5-6 now on him, he backs up.
Yes then there is chaos that naturally ensues in a melee situation. But he is there trying to help a team mate. He is then set upon by two more players so gets out of there. That is not uncommon in basketball ‘brawl’ situations. Happens plenty in NBA and other leagues.
There’s plenty of victim mentality going on social media from Filipino supporters. Talking about stickers and trash talking. So I doubt the rest of your post holds that much truth.

He ends up at the other end of the court ffs. How is that not running away?
Edit: which by the way would be fine apart from the fact HE was the one who threw a cheap elbow to the head to kick it all off. Can dish out the thug but can't take it.
What would you have done in the same situation? Fought the entire team? When you have just been king hit and have a mob trying to kick the shit out of you, only an idiot is going to stand and fight.
And he didn't kick it all off. He was responding to his team mate getting taken out. You reckon after seeing that footage that the Filipinos would have remained calm if it had been the other way round?

@rancid-schnitzel seen the video of that sneaky Filipino fuck tripping Kickert in the warm ups? And the coach sending them out to "hit someone, stick someone on their ass"
The poor little victimised Filipinos
"but, they took our stickers off!!"

Yes and interesting the poor hair trigger can't help themselves Filipinos are focussing on his retaliation to that trip and completely ignoring the trip itself. But obviously he shouldn't have retaliated because the stadium was full of psychopaths who can't be held accountable for acting like animals. Maybe Australia should have deliberately lost to make it out alive. I mean, God forbid they upset anyone.

And here we go round in circles again. What does what i would do in this situation have to do with anything?
Im pointing out that i think it is weak to give someone a cheap flying elbow to the head and then start running around like someone is trying to murder you. Happy to dish it out but scared shitless when there is retaliation.If you don't think his elbow kicked it off you are fucking blind.
Here's a tip, if you want it to be one on one don't go throwing cheap shots in a situation that doesn't involve you. This is how 100% of brawls i have seen start off, someone throwing a coward punch into an already heated situation.
The fact he seems to be escaping any criticism is pretty ridiculous really.

If you're going to bag a guy out and lable him a coward then yes, it would be nice to know how you would have reacted.
The only person who is fucking blind is the guy watching from the safety of his living room who still thinks he was a coward. Not to mention completely ignoring what happened before Kickert retaliated.
What do you mean he's escaping criticism? He's been rightly criticised and hopefully will be suspended. But that doesn't justify the appalling actions of the Filipino players and their coach. It's also laughable to claim that elbow came from nowhere and wasn't in retaliation to a Filipino team who had been literally told to "hit someone".

the smiling on-court selfie from their team afterwards defies belief. You've just had your entire team ejected or fouled out, while down by 30, that massive fight happened, and you take a fucking team selfie? What the actual fuck?
Apart from cleaners, can anyone point to anything good coming out of the Philippines? They voted in Duterte ffs.
my wife's incredibly sexy friend is half Filipino?
Is the other half Czech?
Spanish?

Their hookers are awesome!!
Wait! Did I say that out loud?
I thought mariner made that point earlier, if somewhat more tactfully.
i absolutely did not
Aha! Fake news on the Silverfern?

Some quite passionate side taking here.
Both sides wrong. Some individuals more wrong than others.
Can someone explain the sticker thing and why this was so divisive? I no understand.

Ahhh ok ...
Tripping the opposition players in the warm up before the game
Telling your players to hit someone
Smashing an elbow into an opposition player after a foul
Heaving flying kicks and knees at people
Smashing blokes while they're on the groundAll of the above qualify as "wrong" in my interpretation, and I would've expected most other people's. These weren't exclusive to one side.
Hope I never get to play you at basketball.

Okey dokey. Let's reset that conversation
.Yeah the passion is typical TSF (or typical internet) black and white in a massive mush of dirty grey.

I have a couple of Filipinos in my team at work and we had a good chuckle over this. One said she thought it may not have kicked off the way it did if it wasn't in Manila (rep for being a bit rough). But fuckloads of niggle leading up to the tipping point, nobody comes away looking good.
It was like real life Arch Rivals.

It's funny looking at some of the Twitter comments from Filipinos. It does back up Siam's point that the culture is so different there in the way they view these things.
I know that if the roles were reversed, there would be mass outrage in Australia. Coaches and staff sacked, players banned, probably a few suits would go as well.
But a lot of the comments in the Philippines are lauding their players for 'not backing down' and 'having eachothers backs', talking about the 'Filipino fighting spirit' etc etc etc

I'm still astonished a sport that so clearly favours height is so popular.

That was a great video game. Vinnie and Mohawk would have destroyed everyone.
