My definition is applying current sensibilities or standards to past events or cultural norms, entertainment, music etc and judging them by those standards and not the standards of the day.

Acting like you would have been better/morally superior had you lived in that time than the people who lived then.

It sure wasn't acceptable back in 2018 to invite all your bros over to trap and run a train on a drunk girl... and it isn't now.

Right?

My personal definition of “woke” is doing or thinking something completely illogical in either direction completely at the opposite end of whatever spectrum usually in disregard for facts or logic and almost always at the expense of one’s best interest. The newly formed term for overreaction to an event or situation or a scenario. Usually used in political or social terms. Usually resulting in actions of illogical thinking

How’s this for woke?

Lmao good luck with these heavyweights. It’s surprising their keyboards havent shorted out from the drool.

I’m woke, which means I do not “support” a millionaire who is more than likely about to be charged with sexual assault. Ok then, thanks guys!

Lmao the boards are popping with multiple Flyers fans defending rape. In fact, when one poster pushed back and asked “why are you condoning rape” the response was something about Donald Trump.

Really smart people here. At least MJL isn’t full of poop like some of you.

Carter Hart is gonna hopefully pay the price for his crimes. (frank) hockey and (frank) the flyers.

- FloHaake


Holy god. Class act alert here. Take a hike. No-one is condoning rape ffs. In the absence of all the facts we’re discussing what may have happened. If hart is culpable he’ll pay the price but you don’t know that yet.

What about if it is a woman now identifying as a man? And vice versa.

I’ve been here longer, why don’t you take a hike?

The facts are police do not usually summon 5 white pro athletes to their station to face charges if they didn’t have all the evidence they needed to take it all the way. How's that for facts? Or should I just stand by and pray for Carter?

Got ya. And I don't agree with his description anyway. Nor does it apply to this case at all. I was speaking more in generalities.

Last I checked, the accused are due their day in court. Not sure why you need to come on here and just start insulting everyone who are having a discussion. You may want to consider therapy.

If these guys are all turning themselves in it means charges are coming. It was turning yourself in or getting arrested. Their complete innocence is a strange hill to die on but some people just cant separate real life from fan worship.

I’m not the one, in the face of FIVE (5) pro athletes being told to get to Canada to face charges, means nothing in the big picture of this incident. That’s you. You have critical thinking skills that aren’t strong. Maybe therapy AND back to school for you?

Flyers are fine. He’s coming off the books anyway and this investigation goes back years that the Flyers have known about it.

The Cutter thing was the real curveball. No pun intended.

In my opinion in the case where a woman is intoxicated, whether she invites you to do something or not, be a man and protect her, don't take advantage of her. IF Hart and the other 4 players took advantage of her, shame on them; they deserve the consequences regardless of whether the victim is happy with the settlement or not.

Wow, this Flyer's organization has had some really bad luck these past several years. I was starting to think they found the voodoo doll and destroyed it, but now I'm not so sure.

These people worship their rape Daddy Trump, what do you expect? Go back through the thread, his name is dropped.

Nah but there’s no line to be drawn between loving a rapist billionaire and feeling like people being charged for sexual assault is “woke”.

Again , smart folks.

I'll explain..The dude who is saying that the reason this is happening now is because people are too "woke" today and it's not simply SA..The other users is saying it has nothing to do with today's wokeness and wasn't acceptable in 2018.

In my scenarios is hart welcomed back in Philly? Forgiven for bad decision when 17? Assuming he wasn’t a true offender to the victim?
- Stayin alive

He was 20, not 17. As for welcoming him back- I would like to have more facts before making my decision.
