Did something happen? I don't follow the NHL closely but I thought the playoffs were currently happening. EDIT: Just looked it up. It is because of the Jacob Blake shooting. I thought there was a major covid outbreak among the players.
This is truly sickening -- and even more so because I am (was) a Colorado Avalanche fan. If they're going to refuse to play because of a situation where police shot a perp who was evidently reaching for a knife concealed in his car as they tried to confront him during a domestic violence call, then the whole damned bunch of them can just skate off to hell as far as I'm concerned....
Everything is political now, sickening! I used sports as my escape from politics but that's over. The left destroys everything it touches.
Ironically the games are all in Canada. Sucks the Avs may have got their **** together. No nuggets game tonight. Back to fricken Netflix.
It's all post apocalypse to Capitals fans.... Hard for me to get stoked, so I can miss a night or two for the public good.
Just make a law that black males can do whatever they want and no law applies to them already and get it over with
I think the issue (for me anyway) is that they didn't know he had a knife till after they shot him. If he had the knife in hand then sure, semi reasonable response (even though somehow cops in other countries are able to disarm knife wielding individuals without shooting them) to a dangerous situation. US cops are lazy and just shoot at the slightest hint of a potentially dangerous situation. The idea is that the gun is supposed to be the last resort, not the first or second. His record is immaterial to this point.
Seven shots, huh?? 4 hits in the back.... Seems like a bit much to me... I'm staying mostly away from that story until there's more verifiable facts, but I cannot abide idiotic teenage punks running around loaded for bear stirring up more trouble than is already around...
That's the only good news of this post season... The Penguins went first (and fast)... Hurts to lose to our former coach that badly though.... Trotz has something going on right now...
I started boycotting basketball 3 weeks ago so I was way ahead of these guys. I am so much more woke than they are. Super duper woke is appears.
