Regarding Hockey:

I guess you haven't seen Brett Burns do an after game interview WITHOUT his sweater on. The man has more tattoos than a platoon of drunk sailors. Moreover, the league is anti faith based and censors any conservative thought on their websites. I was kicked off of one league sanctioned site for stating my opposition to forcing players to wear pride garbage, and then the Sharks blocked me from commenting for asking why they support perversion but not Christians who object to this forced behavior.

The league did finally make it optional, but almost every player who took a stand was traded or released...Ivan Provorov, James Reimer,and the list grows...

You know Mark, stating a single counter-example doesn't invalidate a *generalization*. If I say men are generally taller than woman, finding a single woman taller than a single man doesn't make me a liar.

Plus I'm talking about the ethos of the players (as I made clear), not the league office in NY or the owner's suites. Plus the reason the pride non-sense stopped was specifically because of the Player's union demanding it stop.

On top of that, it was an allegory regarding Canadian, small town ethos, not an argument about how great the NHL executive leadership is. I'm sure this was obvious to nearly all who read it.

I'm telling you the truth (not being polite) as making this sort of superficial, completely off-topic response makes you look foolish. Plus you started your response with the condescending "I guess you haven't seen..." which cancels any obligation on my part to be polite to you in response.
