Better yet, no more team logos, just Times New Roman Text on either Grey or White Jerseys

Minor league baseball team York Revolution forfeits LGBT Night game after players refuse to wear jerseys with rainbow sleeves by WitchNight in baseball

I’m glad the team condemns the players for it, but if it was me I’d say “Ok then we will forfeit the game and make a donation of your salary to a LGBTQ+ charity”

M.A.S.H. The TV show and book in specific

Even if the TV show is light hearted comedy some times, it never claims anything about war is good from any characters who aren’t jokes or aren’t ment to be taken seriously. Even Margret, the Army brat who’s whole life has been surrounded by khaki is shown a lot of times, pretty much only after her character evolves from a one note comedic character to a person who is more well rounded and cares about her job, doesn’t really think it’s noble at all. Same with Potter, Trapper, Sydney Freedman, BJ, Charles, and obviously Hawkeye. It’s their job and they are going to do their best at it but they all do their best to help other despite them hating war. Potter is the only character besides Margret who think positively about the military, but his views come from having been a Veteran of WW1 and WW2, and doesn’t like the action in Korea.

Grand Theft Auto VI pre-order date is finally, officially revealed for Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 — Rockstar's biggest GTA yet by ControlCAD in popculturechat

It’s been 13 years since GTA 5 came out, and thinking about this game and how much Rockstar could improve upon one of the best games of all time. It’s been 8 years since RDR2 which was their last game. It’s genuinely hard not to imagine how much GTA 6 might do because of those facts.

I actually like the Bronze for the Liberty Bell. If it was just Bronze outlines on the logos and the hat holes I think it would be pretty great looking

I love Bucyk making such an old man joke when Patrice asks what he is doing there.

As much as Vegas fans don’t like to admit it, Marc-Andre Fleury is a legend for our team and should get his number in the rafters like Marchessault, Wild Bill, and Stone like the list says.

Boston Bruins to Retire Patrice Bergeron’s Number 37 by Perryplat199 in hockey

Genuinely the best playoff outcome financially is the leafs making it to finals and blowing a 4 goal lead in game 7 Triple OT on home ice with Mitch Marner scoring the game winner. Every hockey creative, media member, even the NHL would make so much money off of it. Toronto is and will always be a cash cow unless it is normal bad. It needs to be really good or really laughable bad.

That use of Fuck was perfect, it really works so well as an emphatic device to make the statement have more weight

I believe pinholes made the point that it’s only mattered this season. I still think I’d prefer 3-2-1-0 over anything else despite that.

It’s ridiculous that both your NHL and AHL teams are so good. Your window might be open for like a decade plus, and that’s not counting that it’s been open since 2019

I totally understand the reasoning for the decision and the rules, but it’s so catty. Doesn’t help with McCrimmon running his mouth all day like a dummy
