The KKK just needs to be cancelled.

They are just going to take a day or so off.  That will solve racism.  Just as cancelling hockey for a couple days will.

Well, there’s no question about whether you rest hart or not. 
 

I’m fine with a temporary work stoppage to raise awareness.  I don’t think it will be prolonged. I’d rather they play, but I get the sentiment. In theory, If there is no sports going on there is no distraction to keep your focus from the issue. Take a game, raise awareness, get back to it.

Raise awareness for what? The fact that there are people who are racist? To the fact that there are some bad cops? Everyone knows this. People are well aware of these things. 
 

It’s proactive damage control, that’s all it is. If they don’t cancel anything they’re afraid that certain groups will attack them for not "using their platform”, despite the fact that nothing they do will change a damn thing.

Again comes down to the stupid slogan that’s being used that If you are silent you are part of the problem. So if they did nothing they get casted as not caring or racist.

 Meanwhile everyone seems to be silent on the rape victim with Blake. So i guess they are also part of the problem as that seems to not be an issue. 

That is the problem with using that slogan. When Jenkins decided to say that’s not our problem (Jews injustices) that goes 100% against if you’re silent, you are part of the problem when that is an injustice that is going on as well. That’s why I stated when it was Decided use that slogan it was idiotic because it’s going to come back around and thrown in your face as soon as you don’t stand up for another injustice as hypocrisy.

I don't really mind them postponing today, what I do kind is everyone attacking the NHL and yet baseball has 3 games playing at this moment. Teams who "boycotted" (they're really striking, but whatever) last night were fine playing today. It just proves none of it is sincere, except maybe from the NBA.

Here is the problem, they box themselves into a corner, what happens next time, there will be some injustice or perceived injustice, if they don't walk out they look bad, so now what happens?

so now do the play tomorrow? do I check CNN first and make sure the world is perfect and then the schedule?

 

Clearly we have issues in this country and they need to be addressed.  I’m actually glad it seems as though everyone is taking a stand.

Disagree completely.  If you can’t  see the shift change in this country you’re fooling yourself.  

This won't last long fellas, NBA already voted to continue their own playoffs

Fear of the mob. Pathetic.

 

From a sport thats 99% white, 80% not from this country, and has a minority fanbase in the low single digits. 

GTFO with the charade. They arent protesting. They are not wanting to be singled out for NOT protesting. Stupid. Im so over this ish.

Were you sitting down to pee when you posted this?  

Pardon me while I ask a Flyers related question...

Is there schedule going to remain as is with Game 3 being Saturday at 12 or are they going to redo the schedule and insert back to backs for game 3 and 4?

 

Never mind, I just saw the updated schedule.

I'll be hiking Saturday,  i might make it home for the end of the game but not likely. 

For those who haven't seen yet

No, but I am a registered Republican that is sick of having a ***** as a President deface this great nation and the office he swore to uphold.  But thanks for showing how much of an uneducated twit you are.  Can't say I am at all surprised looking at your picture.  Go get another cheesesteak.

 as a registered independent I’m sick and tired of both dems and Republican thinking their party’s Candidates are actually going to do crap other than what those politicians want for themselves and benefits them. That’s been going on for About 50-60 years. How about quit buying into the garbage politicians And media sell you.
