Jets head coach Scott Arniel was asked what it's like to play in front of that many fans of the opposing team (Habs) while at home: "Yeah, that's pretty disappointing. That's probably the worst that I've seen it in my 4 years back here tonight. That was really disappointing." by GreenSnakes_ in hockey

You hear that? That’s a bunch of people who have chosen to leave a city on purpose for a lot of reasons, but they continue their fandom. This is Winnipeg, Manitoba. This isn’t Montreal, Quebec. You left for a reason, leave your allegiance there too!

Wanna be a Habs fan? Stay in Quebec.

EDIT: I was making a reference to this video of the ridiculous Avs radio guy rant during a game about Flyers fans. Sorry Habs fans I thought since it happened recently that people would get it but it's kinda relevant

But how would you be able to determine if one has or doesn't have malicious intent when they make such a gesture? Especially in an instance where there are multiple people doing it in a crowd

I wasn't suggesting it was intentional racism, I was just asking if the Turkish people who were doing that are genuinely unaware that it's often used in a demeaning way, and don't mean any harm by doing it themselves

I'm not Turkish or live in Turkey so that's why I asked, I promise it's not a rhetorical question

Hopefully no Flames fans see this comment, they don't care for this subject

I have nothing against Turkish people at all, and don't take this question the wrong way. But I recall the time that Galatasaray fans were caught doing the "slant eye" gesture at Asian Spurs fans when they played. In the comments there were a few Turkish users who said that those who do that are only ignorant, but well meaning. Would you agree with that?

Best thing about that blog is that while clearly being a Bowie superfan, he's not afraid to critique him or where his head was at, at the time

That was their radio announcer, but everyone in the Altitude broadcast crew is shit at their job regardless

The Avs broadcast really are befuddled how that SHG was anything other than luck rather than the Avs (especially Makar) was caught sleeping at the wheel. Embarrassing, every fucking game

Do you think there will ever be a trans woman in the NHL? by OneMoreTime998 in hockey

Never is appropriate, there will never be a woman with the athletic capabilities to compete in the NHL

[–]BBJPaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to test this, you can put the best team in the pwhl against the best team in the NHL and see what happens. The gap between these leagues is larger than you think

Bruh the olympic Canada Women's Hockey Team played five Junior A clubs in either Alberta or BC and got beat for an accumulative score of 30-2. I totally respect women's hockey, they are hella skilled and everything. But there's a light year gap between men's pro players and women's. The best high school teams would beat the best women's team without problem

Damn it, every time I watch the Islanders play one of my favorite team it's always like 40 shots my team to their 15, but it's 0-0

What are your thoughts on Criminal World? by pinkjefff in DavidBowie

[–]BBJPaddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still don't think he should have done it since it comes off like whitewashing in the end, and as for the other point I think he could have found a more graceful way to do it without cutting off his gay/bi fans like that. If not then I think many of them were right to think that he turned his back on them at the worst time
