It might be nice to note the “Stars” are a hockey league. No where is it stated.

Take a listen to the national anthem in 1991 at the NHL All-Star Game. Everyone should so so. Best anthem ever. And then remember where we are today.

When I was at work, I was not “free” to express my views on anything but work.

What the hell has happened to this country?


Buddy you and me.
As a boy, I watched my neighbors go to Vietnam. They never came home. Fritz. That was the dog’s name. Mr. Hamilton told me to keep him and his wife safe. Big job for a 10 year old .

I weep for my Veterans.

Thanks, I was wondering what sport the Stars played.

They lost ticket holders and I lost interest.

Same with the Texas Rangers.

They want to be social justice snowflakes, let’em. I can find other things to do. It all started a few years ago when they started donning the pink attire.

Just play the sport; that is the ONLY reason people even watch.

I was a Stars season ticket holder for many years, since 2000. I fell in love with hockey back in the early 80s when we had the Dallas Blackhawks. I was thrilled when we got the Stars. They will always be my team, but I will not buy tickets any longer. As a minority female, I find their support of BLM to be offensive. Makes me sad because I love the sport and going to the games.

You are welcome! And I hate it when the response is “no problem.” That assumes there was a problem. My own father says that, and he is too old to be hip, at least “hip to be square.”

Yes, I just gauged their relevance in my life by not knowing what sport this was about. (Yawn)

Politics should never have entered sports.

Got a news flash for you, all sports from the tee-ball to soccer to early football is very, very, political ... it actually is the bedrock of 'sports'! I would say 'cross-country' is the least political ... got to run to win.

It isn’t just Chicago. Teachers brainwashed kids at a young age. Music, especially rap, became centralized in the white household. We made women into self-obsessed twits and men into neurotic pansies. Broken homes. The family structure dissolved. God made into a bad name. Illegal aliens treated better than war veterans. Bill Clinton cheated on his wife and yet women adored him. Abortions a routine procedure. I could go on and on.

But there are positives amid the turmoil. Tough to find as each day passes but they are there.

this is NOT about racism at all....speaking for many freepers, we are the most open and accepting people in the world....

but we are so tired of the BS shoved down our throats...

if the players get to say and do what they want, then so do we....

Hopefully soon to be “none” due to the league collapsing from pissing off fans.
