Amazing how in the last few months suddenly 50% of the population in North America are very obviously totally racist! Can you clarify this statement please? I don't understand the point you are trying to make here. Racism exists, it's not a " ridiculous liberal outrage du jour." You should really clarify your statements, otherwise it looks like you are saying that racism is a liberal fabrication and doesn't really exist. I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you are not saying that, but you should just clarify.

But we've reached the point where anyone who doesn't agree with the liberal mob 100% is branded a racist. Like what the unkown whatshisface just did. It's insane. Even the suddenly commonly accepted idea that Trump is a white supremacist is pretty laughable. But I don't want to get into that here, some people might suffer a fainting spell.

Again, what are you talking about? You pop in here to insult people without adding anything relevant or even expressing a cogent opinion, probably because you know your position is stupid. If I recall, you're an unabashed Trump lover. Ill take you're incorrect and silly description of me as "hysterical" over being so blindly in love with an ideological that you'd accept everything that goes with it, hook line & sinker. Which wasnt even the topic at hand. I guess you dont know why many players took knees yesterday right? Are you suggesting all conservatives are racists? Because that's idiocy.

SpeedFlex27 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 12 hours ago, The Unknown Poster said: I think Ive changed my mind a bit about the Pens, who are my favourite team next to the Jets. They not only allowed themselves to be used as a pawn in Trump's racist games, they encouraged it with the timing of their announcement. Its hard not to look at it and see a bunch of white guys happy to go to the White House when predominantly black athletes are under fire from the President who actively wants their jobs taken away. Troy Westwood was irate this morning. And I agree with him. Its hard not to see this as a matter of the Pens feeling "well, we'll go. We dont have an issue". yeah..well, you're predominantly white. Like, do people not understand that the desire of racists is to divide in this manner. Trump used the Pens. Calls them a great team and happy to host them. That mostly white team. Dont like it. If you cant support the black athletes when they come under attack can you at least support them for the fact they are fellow athletes? We're Canadians. We just want to be polite & not rock the boat. Seriously, they shouldn't go. e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 They shouldn't have gone when Obama was the president either then. He condoned the killing of the unborn. And of course he never came out and explicitly denounced the BLM people killing cops. Which by today's logic makes him as bad as Hitler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/saskatchewan/riders-lottery-president-makes-waves-with-pro-trump-comments-1.4305907 Quote Fans of the Saskatchewan Roughriders are lashing out after the Friends of the Riders president aligned himself with U.S. President Donald Trump and his views of kneeling football players. Tom Shepherd runs the lottery which sells draw tickets and 50/50 tickets to raise money for the CFL team. On Sunday, before the Rider game against the Calgary Stampeders, Shepherd spoke out on the CKRM pre-game show. He called Trump his man and said he agreed with his stance that football players who kneel during the national anthem as an act of protest should be fired.

That mostly white team. LOL - come on man, back down a bit on the histrionics. Could you even form an NHL team with non-white players? It's the whitest sport in the world, next to maybe that sport where the guys cross-country ski and then shoot out targets with a gun. It's no surprise that the Pittsburgh Penguins are "mostly white". Do they have any players who aren't white? Man I hate this racial crap. Who cares what race any player is. That's what bugs me about Trump wading into this cesspool. Last week no one really cared if a player wanted to kneel during an anthem. Now it's all politics. Just meh. I was listening to Howard Stern this morning and he was saying that sports is the one place you could go to escape politics, and now fans don't even have that. Just barf.

No contest. true, but that being said, any sports involving snow and cold seem to be predominated by white people. Probably because the sports that are played in countries with cold climates are predominately Caucasian, at this current moment in time. Not sure why that is somehow a bad thing. As demographics change, this trend will change, and I'm totally in favour of that. Edited September 26, 2017 by kelownabomberfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the announcement came at a time when Trump could use it politically. What will it say to Trump's base that he's calling black players SOB's while celebrating the support of mostly white players?

The Unknown Poster Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 So the point was made earlier about Obama. I generally believe any argument in defense of Trump that begins "well what about Obama" is a diversionary tactic. Obama is not the President so its irrelevant. However, players have skipped the White House in the past, several under Obama. I dont believe Obama made any remarks at all about players choosing to attend. He certainly did not dis-invite the whole team or attack those players publicly. Obama also never attacked black athletes as SOB's, encouraged them to be fired or encouraged other people to be fired for being critical of him. He did not use his position to try and negatively influence many businesses and individuals to lose money or jobs. He did not call neo Nazi's very fine people. I dont think we can pretend the President is not very divisive on racial equality. And thats a nice way of putting it. Im sure there are a lot of people in Puerto Rico who wishes Trump was as invested in their plight as he is in which NFL players stand or kneel for a national anthem.
