For a day or two, then back to normal like nothing happened. Postponing professional sports for 48 hours isn't going to change a thing. Voting a racist out of office would be a good start.
- Marwood

Clearly that's the big picture, yeah.

But it's also a good thing to have tonights game cancelled. When a little kid asks their parents why the game that was supposed to be on isn't, it can open up a conversation about equality and justice.

Obviously it's not an earth shaking difference, but every little bit counts. For those who can't help but whine and complain over not getting to watch their game tonight, they really need to reevaluate their privilege and entitlement.

Maybe if they agree, they could also respond that the NHL are being used as pawns and being shamed into something that should be taken on as a North American crisis.

Every person that agrees with this movement should step up and refuse to work until racial injustice is dealt with, otherwise you are all hypocrites not willing to take the stance that the NHL is being shamed into.

And I'm not whining about postponed hockey games, I'm pointing out that everyone should stand by their convictions with action.

Sorry Northy, but if a family needs a cancelled sporting event to open up this conversation they've got a bigger problem. I also fear the answer the child gets.

You are a hypocrite who thinks it's fine to marginalize women.
- Marwood

No, I don’t at all. In fact i was pointing out that women should be able to call themselves broads if they want. I have many plutonic relationships with women, trans and queer folks. I also said the word broads simply doesnt mean the same thing for my generation. Then when you amd others criticized me, i took it to task and asked all of my lady friends and ALL of them agreed that it was likely a generational thing and that it wasn’t a particularly offensive word to them. So, stfu you sad little baby. You come on here to cry everyday and try to get others to jump on one person. You’re a poopty miserable person, please don’t comment on my posts if you can’t be otherwise.

This is a great place to discuss political events shaping our world today. All opinions are welcome as long as they align with mine.

I remember back in the 80s privilege and entitlement was the rewarded for being filthy rich.

Boy, times have changed.

Pretty sure it was something you were born into, but certainly being made to see it has changed.

So in the big picture what does the N.H.L. hope to achieve, less innocent Black Lives lost, please. Peer pressure from the other Leagues made up of a much higher percentage of Black Athletes. And isn't it ironic The Hockey Diversity Alliance leaders aren't playing. I'm all for racial equality however one of the bright lights during this pandemic was the N.H.L., and in particular the Canucks. I know chill, it's just 2 nights.

Rant over.

How is that ironic? Should only people of color be concerned with BLM?

this is simply too hilarious to pass up.

You were called out for using, what is considered to some, an offensive term. Your explanation is 1) it's not offensive to your generation; and 2) you can't be misogynist because you have female friends and they don't consider the term or you to be offensive.

That's literally the boomer excuse that you would laugh at. "I'm not being offensive by using the term _____ because it doesn't mean the same thing to people born in my generation. I'm not a ______ because I have (black, female, minority etc.) friends and we use that term all the time and they don't care!"

Thanks for the laugh Neem!

BTW, it's Platonic not Plutonic. Plato is the philosopher. Pluto is Mickey Mouse's Dog.
