Just STFU will you Sherman? Like a white player wouldn't have been called a Thug for those same actions.
For instance.... Justin Bieber is a wanna be 'Thug' and last I check little Bieb's was a white boy.

You don't think that the word "thug" carries with it certain racial connotations in society as a whole?

its either used for dirty hockey players or black people.

Maybe "goon"? "Troublemaker"? I feel like a lot of the synonyms for "thug" (hoodlum, gangster, hooligan, punk, hood, etc) have kind of been co-opted into synonyms for the n-word.
I don't really think "criminal" always applies, so it's a tough question. Let's go with "poopoohead"
