Remember when a great man once said "I yearn for the day when my son is not judged for the colour of his skin, but for the content of his character"? What the fuck happened. I don't give two shits what the colour of your skin is. I care how we treat each other. White, Black, Brown are just skin pigmatations, in the end we are all Human. The sooner we realize the colour of our skin is meaningless; the sooner we can progress as a society.

I think future generations will look back on the Social Justice movement of the 21st Century and call it a dark age.

It’s interesting you reference MLK’s famous quote because that’s what this was about. The Flames’ coach was let go because of his character, which was shown to be bigoted and abusive. Same for Mike Babcock and possibly now Marc Crawford.

Couple things,

It's not about character.
1. Babs was fired because he lost the dressing room. He was not fired for misconduct, his team lost 6 in a row, all this he's a terrible person shit came out post-termination.
2.

$1:

“I said to Kwame, I don’t see you as black, I don’t see Tara as a woman. And then I realized, ‘There’s your white male privilege. You know what, Ron? You don’t have to see that because you don’t need to see that.'”

This is what the MLK quote was about.

And really if Marc Crawford kicked Sean Avery then the courts should handle it. Its is not for us to mete out "justice" this is how we as a society break down.

Hard to think of anyone else in hockey who deserved a good fucking kick to the ass as much as a grandstanding cheap-shot artist and all-around puke like Sean Avery did.

Management better get used to this because the culture has changed across all sports. Elite athletes aren’t going to stay quiet in the face of ranting and raving any more. In future, colourful team talks will be leaked within minutes rather than years. The abuse of Franzen touches on an even more serious problem in hockey, concussion and brain injury.

I think you guys are kind of missing the core of the issue here.

Certainly it's about a general attack on the old culture of hockey so they (as in your new cultural overlords) don't mind you pooping your panties because Mark Crawford gave Sean Avery a push years ago or Babcock smack-talked his players in the dressing room but that isn't what this suddenly appearing push to change the culture of hockey is really about at the core.

It's about creating victim groups. Making new victims appear is the current MO of installing culture change and out of that discovering more power centers for wanna be masters of societal control.

Candace Malcolm will add some clarity starting at 6:19 of the video below if anybody is interested in learning what you're really talking about.



The push is coming from a core what of they call "intersectional social justice." She doesn't tell you but what that's all really about is the incremental push to a more controlled society. Control from who, you ask? What I call Progressive Socialists, of course. But the corporates are on board. You silly people who think you're fighting against the corporations are in for a surprise.
