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.

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.

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 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.

I’m done. I’ve been a hockey fan for 40 years. This BS started with the loser dumba kneeling. NBC telecasts had some of this crap, but at the beginning, so I tuned in late. Saw some propaganda on the big screen in the background. A bit of this crap on their website, barely tolerable. Now their jumping in with both skates. F-em. I’m done.

You can keep me on a ping list for hockey, Airborne ... but please don't ping me to any threads about the NHL anymore.

Thanks for all your dedication and diligence over the years!

I am done. You took knees, now you refuse to do your job? You still get tour fat salary. I do this at my job, I’m fired. Maybe in a couple years I come back but not now.

Many people are putting aside allegiances to teams and are in agreement. The other night in a hockey broadcast, we heard of proceeds going to black queers and that community to get text books. These organizations are not even masqueraded any more. Kate Smith is shamed but black transvestites are promoted (yes, the full letters were mentioned). How much can we endure as people, forget sports fans...as people! I saw a TV ad during a game for Highlander (a vehicle) with four black women. When was the last time we saw an ad for four white males only? How much more are we going to take? How much more can we take? Boycott these products.

Too bad the NHL caved.

They were the last sports organization I had any respect for.
