Hockey Ping!

(let me know if you want on or off the ping list)
I give up. This may be my last hockey ping. I am brokenhearted for my sport. And my nation.

I’m a Canadian, who doesn’t watch hockey. So I don’t care.

Only one counter-measure. Let us ALL call up our cable provider (or DirecTv) and ask to drop all sports packages.
If we ALL do this, maybe they will think twice about this nonsense.

a lot of pressure being applied by the NHL’s sponsors (addidas) and TV partners (ChiCom NBC)
I believe the league and players want to play - but $$$$

“to protest racism”
I’m all for that. Anti white racism is pervasive base evil. If it doesn’t end soon then it’s revolution (ha!) or genocide.

The first Black American hockey player was Val James in 1981... That’s right: when the U.S. won the “Miracle On Ice,” there had never been a Black American hockey player. Today, there are eight.

I love sports. My favorite sport is baseball. I have survived player strikes, steroids, gambling scandals, higher prices, rule changes, idiot owners, idiot players, and now, virtue signalling.
For me, the sport is greater than the people who own it, or the people who play it. This TOO, shall pass. Do not give up on the game because of the jackasses who happen to be wearing the uniforms at this very moment.

I agree. With all due respect to my American friends, putting a New York lawyer in charge of hockey was doomed to end in PC 🐄 BS. First NASCAR and now hockey has been neutered 😡

I will do useful things instead of watching the idiot-tube, to protest sports’ stupidity. BTW, the NHL is (was?) on NBC
(nothing but communists).

All these sports teams are shooting themselves in the foot. The longer they boycott the more people will realize they can do without sports. Owners should dock pay for every game not played and see how long the walkout lasts.

I feel exactly the same way. The absolute IGNORANCE of the modern millionnaire professional athlete is mindboggling.
The level of cluelessness is simply astounding. They are driven by leftist propaganda and mindless feelings. As President Trump would say, sad.

What racism are they talking about? Please give me one single solitary example of racism by police in the past few years. Cops kill more whites than blacks, but that’s not racist is it. But just because someone is black some asshats have classified it as “systemic racism” and other asshats accept this as fact without a shred of evidence.
