As a lifelong Flyers fan, I’m beyond pissed at this.

I guess the real question I have is - who the Hell went looking for anything like this???

It appears that the libs now actually have people looking backwards over the last 100 years for anything remotely offensive (to them) to be used as a bludgeon, and in true Stalinist fashion, it must be erased from existence.

The bigger question is: why does ANYONE on our side give in, instead of just holding up a middle finger to them?

I hate the Yankees anyway so no loss but, sad to say, I’m giving up on my beloved Flyers.

That was truly a great game and great years. I was really proud of the Broad Street Bullies, but alas, nevermore!

Are the Red Sox and other teams going to stop playing “Sweet Caroline” at their ballparks? After all, the song was Neil Diamond being a pedophile, singing about an underage Caroline Kennedy.

And don’t even get me started on the “King of Pop Pedophilia”, Michael Jackson. I always thought that person was creepier than a Stephen King novel, and now the truth seems to bear that out.

"She is an icon of American popular culture."

Well, That's the reason enough for the fagots right there... That and the fact she was white..

So many rap songs treat women like expendable handfuls of kleenex. If country music lyrics only spoke of women as quick places to store semen, country music would be banned in this country. If I were a black American I personally would hate the bigotry of Low Expectation Black Privilege. Actually, I do hate it already. Which is ok because I do have some subsaharan African HLA blood types. Lol.

What year did the Flyers allow African-Americans on their team?

Excellent article. Thanks for the link to it. I wasn’t aware that Ed Snider and David Horowitz were such good friends.
