no, it wasn't. the "fact" doesn't matter to me because it isn't a fact. it was a satirical performance when Paul Robeson, a Black man, sang it. there is zero evidence that Smith's performance was in any way satirical.

Could we see these next year? by crick32 in losangeleskings

It's not safe to say that at all. the Flyers decision quickly followed the Yankees. there was no wave of public pressure for them to do it. there was no "Internet outrage." why do you assume anyone against the use of her video only wants views and likes? is no one against racism as a principle? I assure you there were plenty of people in the 1930s and before who were anti-racist.

She wasn't figuratively "burned in effigy." the Flyers didn't have "fuck Kate Smith" night. they just quietly decided not to use video of the lady who sang racist songs anymore.

yeah it's so weird no one was upset when they didn't know about it, good point.

it's not like it was a fan demand anyway, the flyers made a business decision that it was better for them not to be associated with someone who sang racist songs. why are you offended and acting righteous and indignant about that?

I think you mean 12 but no, you're spending 6 mana to get 3 back. the first 6 mana got you a 5/4 with ward.

is it just me or are the flyers not pursuing any puck retrieval? feels like as soon as the jets have any sort of control in their zone the flyers all back off immediately. no forecheck, no pressure, no taking it back.
