We're sitting in here talking about statues ... not a game, not a game, not a game ...we talking about statues.

During WW2 Kate traveled overseas more than 500,000 miles to entertain troops and raised over 600 million $ in war bonds. She won the highest civilian award, the Presidntial Medal Of Freedom.

After more than 3000 recordings 2 of them are being judged almost 90 years later. She has been labeled a racist with no opportunity to defend herself. This is the kind of purification of the record only seen before in fascist states.

Ask the stone thowers what they have done in their lives to help this country. Are their hearts really in a more pure and better place where they can judge others? Sleep well my brothers, sleep well.

A bit of an overreaction, my friend. It's just a statue.

Besides, I haven't seen one person attack her service to the country ... nor was the statue intended as a commemoration of her service to the country.

To people who don’t give a poop about the nostalgia of a good woman that was not only a great person but a phenomenal singer I could see why you wouldn’t care then. Ed Snyder wouldn’t have allowed this to happen and that’s a fact

If it was just a statue, it wouldn’t have been taken down.

Sleep well.

It is funny because radical leftists have been taking down statutes all over the country and a few years ago they took down the wrong general lee statute because they thought he was the one who led the confederates lol. It was a different general lee tho. Utopian society here we come

Probably not.

Still, people are getting too riled up over a freaking statue, imo.

You think it represented more than her singing God Bless America for the Flyers?

I sure don't.

In the last couple days, I have read this and a lot of amazing and wonderful things about Kate. I appreciated Clarke’s comments as well as others who knew her personally. Who here knew her personally? Obviously, she can’t speak for herself.

Frankly, I don’t understand the need to stand in judgment of someone who died over 30 years ago for something she recorded almost 90 years ago. Are we playing God?Why are they not defaming the writers or other singers who recorded the songs? Why is this a issue now?

Aren’t there any current issues of equality facing our nation that need our attention?

There should be a statue of limitations for being able to do something like this

You learn something new every day right 😁

This Just in: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS STRIPPED OF STANLEY CUPS. Being that we are now in the business of judging the past against todays sensibilities The FLyers teams of the 70's have been stripped of the titles and instead all have been charged with assault and battery. Steep jail time awaits all involved,names need to be removed from club history and never spoken again.
What a bunch of cowards!! The Damn League needs to be shut down until we 50% minorities playing in the league. What a joke!

Fat b!tch is gone. Whitey is next. I’m starting an online petition to have Richie Ashburn’s statue removed. Ashburn who self admitted in 1982 that he purposely spiked Jackie Robinson in a game for no other reason than he was black, is not any type of athlete I want my kids looking up to. It’s a disgrace that we celebrate a Racist like him and hold him in high esteem. Times have changed Thank God and this is something that we can change to start healing the community.

This the only opinion that makes sense.

Wish that idiot would sit down at the Leaf's game. Bulbous head is blocking my screen.

Leafs let that little needle nose punk end their season. Pathetic.

You mean force a game 7?

Probably not.

The strangest thing of all this is that at some point in time someone decided a woman who only sang at a few Flyers SCF games needed to be memorialized in bronze. Why not a team founder, Flyers HOF player, Gene Hart or how about even something commemorating the wives carnival? Even if you remove the scandal from the equation it just seems like a bizarre decision that it was ever even commissioned in the first place.

That's the last I'm gonna say on the matter. No one is going to change anyone's mind on this.

God I hope Boston wins. Outside of seeing the Flyers win there is not a lot in hockey that is more entertaining to me than the B's being the thorn in Toronto's side again and again over the years.

There isn't a player in the League I loathe more than Marchand. I never want them to win.
