Clarity is your friend.
he’ll be fired
Oh, really? Will the protest O Canada?
Someone should have a talk with this “player”.
Canadian media and the Canadians I hear (sports talk and the like) tell a story about how wonderful Canada is and America is evil. So Id be surprised if he knelt for O Canada.
I think the end result is that they will ultimately be famous for throwing away their fortunes.
Decades from now they will be mocked even in the nursing home or hospice when people find out who they were and remember how much they squandered.

More like a tragicomedy , but yeah, you’re right. I wonder what’s next. Maybe pro golfers will start taking the knee. Then those beach volleyball girls.
At that point, athletes should just go ahead and protest anything that bothers them. Too much salt in soups. The speed limit in Idaho. Clouds that are not fluffy enough. Go for it!
.
Do it.
Go ahead and end all professional sports in America.
Do college to.
Knock yourselves out.
I'm not a hockey fan, but I assume a "high stick" means he'll be singing the National Anthem . . . as a soprano.
I swear... If I was in the arena and this puke did that, I would pick up my popcorn and drink and walk straight out the door booing loudly all the way.... and encouraging everyone else to do exactly the same thing. The only way this is going to end is if everyone stands up and screams “enough!” and takes action in a way that absolutely can’t be ignored.
Ohhh me too me too!! I am suddenly a social justice whore when the cameras are on MEEEE.
Mind your own business.
S'nuffin to do wit chou.
A high stick...and a check...and a trip...and definitely some “unnecessary roughness”.
Damit , there goes my last sport to watch. I guess I will have to keep my eye on the Washington ball .
I was going to suggest perhaps high diving, but then I remembered how the sodomites injected themselves (so to speak) into that.
Sports are nothing but a distraction ,so the masses don’t pay attention to what the Government is doing too them.
