I have been reading your posts. It's a bunch of garbage. That's what I'm driving at as I systematically break down your entire position. All I'm doing is giving you the opportunity to expose your bias and again, you make a claim not backed up by facts that his behavior was bred out of his very luck situation in life.

He’s not saying his life situation of being “privileged” is the reason he is the way he is.

He’s saying the combination of that “privilege” and his past antics don’t make him hopeful that he can actually change.

Unless you have a reading comprehension issue…

MIssed the post where I said I realize that most pro athletes don't share my same views. Ryan Suter is on record saying George W Bush was the best American President.

That's fine, he's wrong. I never felt the need to come on here when the rumors of Suter coming to Philly with "HE THINKS BUSH IS GOOD NO BUSH IS BAD I HATE HIM"

but keep coming at me like it's just politics.

Any thoughts on the Flyers acquiring Evander Kane? Or Patrick Kane?

Haven’t bought a Flyers jersey in a long time but I think I am going to order a D’Angelo jersey to watch people’s heads explode, lol.

Best post all off-season

I learned today

All NHL hockey parents are rich, hope they are open to adopting a 54 year guy who plays hockey and can cook
- wcorvette

Most, if not all, NHL hockey parents probably have some semblance of wealth, considering the salaries of their sons. So yea, i'd say thats accurate.

Seriously? The context is what the parents financial situation is when their son was growing up before becoming an NHL player.

Who are you to tell him he’s wrong? That’s his opinion.

- furio16

Along with many Flyers fans, no thank you to either player for a myriad of reasons.

Evander Kane is a garbage person. That's already been documented. And can be a distraction to his team. Hasn't punched any teammates tho that I can recall. No thanks..

Patrick Kane is probably very unchill in a lot of ways, but outside of his 2009 arrest for punching a cabbie, hasn't had a ton of controversy and hasn't had a lot of questions remarks surrounding his ability to be a professional and a teammate. The sexual assault charges were proved to be a hoax. Do I want him here? Definitely not, but the dude has kept his nose pretty clean for most of his career. Would certainly be an upgrade leadership and lockeroom wise than Tony D. But nah, don't want either Kane.

Nice try at Gotcha tho Furio.

Using privilege like that is a group stereotype, which, when applied to condemn group stereotypes like racism, is self-defeating ...

DId you read his post? "ALL NHL HOCKEY PARENTS ARE RICH" which to me sounds like he's talking present tense and not for when they worked their way to it.

Hence my sarcastic response?

Or they work hard and sacrifice for the dream. But let’s go with rich mostly

Wow semantics are really something you all quibble about on here.

Fine, he's not "Wrong" in the factual sense, as that would be a hard thing to do when discussing presidential success or failure i guess. Did you read the rest of my post? Where I said I don't care if hes wrong or right about that, I didn't judge him based on his politics, and if he had come here, would've been stoked.

Me to this (frank)ing thread
- THE BLACK HAND

Classic greatness.

Or they work hard and sacrifice for the dream. But let’s go with rich mostly
- wcorvette

Sure, they do that too. They also have the resources and means to go for that dream.Which is my point. Which is where privilege comes into play.

OR not. You all work so hard and no one helped you ever and you sacrificed every single thing to build your own storm windows business or whatever. Ok fine. You all have my respect.

- FloHaake

No in the hypothetical, you're assuming they got rich due to their son playing NHL hockey. He obviously was talking within the context.

and I suppose you think 5 Million dollars for Ghost 2.0 with more baggage is a very fair signing
- FloHaake

nope -- would rather have hagg, ghost, and draft capital then the poop show that is the FLyers back end today

Also would rather have Myers and Patrick vs ellis FTR

If saying racist poop gets you cancelled, how the hell did Biden get elected? That dude is straight up racist.
- Sir_Robot_Farts

Yeah and Trump never said anything about Mexicans or Muslims...

All should have respect, the world is better that way. My guess, you can look back and find the struggle in generations past for all before they had the resources to support their child to play hockey.

Let’s say both did and go back to hockey, just a suggestion

I’m so glad I came to hockeybuzz to have the DNC pamphlet preached to me like it’s gospel.

The dude is a hockey player. Someone you’ve never met in your life. It seems some people like him and others don’t… shocker. He says dumb crap apparently too. But guess what?! For 2.5 hours every other night, I hope helps the team, that’s supposed to provide me with entertainment, win. I have no other interaction with him other than that whatsoever.

He’s entitled to his politics like it or not and you can’t cancel him no matter how big your hissy fit is right now. Either stop watching the team, or the player, or be a big boy, and suck it up. Those are your options, pick one. But this has been an 8 hour cry fest. We get it, you don’t like him, he’s mean. You’ll be ok little guy.

- MJL

Nah, you missed it again. I assume most of them are rich BEFORE they become pros.

That spells out, time and time again.

And guess what? I don't care about that. That doesn't influence my decision to root for a player or not root for a player. Yall just keep refusing to accept the fact that the game of hockey in America is a rich kids sport. And I've loved it my whole life, in spite of that. I don't judge people based on how they grew up, but I can draw a line from how they act as adults to how they were brought up.

- wcorvette

As if no family of an NHL player made sacrifices so their son cold play hockey. No Father or Mother of an NHL player ever worked overtime or a second job to support their child's dream. It's just all rich people with privilege.

Yea you got it man. Hes just a meanie. That's the controversy. Very good comprehension from the HIT SUMBUDDY crowd.

Wow. You assumed that he was saying that?

I am eagerly waiting for a new blog. Hopefully with new topics like development camp.
