Hockey is a racist white imperialism sport. Time to get rid of it./s

yeah and the only thing black on the ice is the puck...and they’re slapping the hell out of it!

The Flyers used to have Wayne Simmonds, one of the few black players in the NHL. He was a magnificent, scrappy, old-school player with more Broad Street Bullies spirit in him than the entire team combined.

Years ago, some dirt ball threw a banana onto the ice when Simmonds was going for a shoot-out goal...if he'd tracked down the "fan" and pummeled him I'd have given Simmonds an award and banned the "fan" for life. And for what it's worth, Simmonds acknowledged the banana rattled him, and his only thought was to get off a shot -- which went in for the Flyers' only score in the shootout. Now THAT is a pro.

I was sorry to see him go. Oh, and good on their fans but the Islanders still suck and owe their 1980 Cup win to Stickle.
