Yikes, what a bad look for the NHL. "I appreciate the question, but after all of that I don't think I'm going to get into it much, honestly," Matthews, a star centre with the Toronto Maple Leafs, told The Fifth Estate recently.

Fostering an addiction that can lead to other addictions that can lead higher degrees of physical mental financial health problems, family dysfunctions, domestic violence etc etc etc? Hey, we say play responsibly after each ad. Calm down, individuals are responsible to regulate their own behaviours not us. Which is true but a bit more complicated than this. Capitalism with little regard for civic responsibility at it's finest. JCon and rebusrankin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Under “bets nobody would have taken at the start of the season”, the Seattle Kraken are percentage-wise the best team in the Western Conference this morning, more than halfway through the season. And if you bet the parlay that Winnipeg would be the second-best West team while Colorado and Florida were outside the playoff line, you’d be a very rich person.

Tracker Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Vegas Golden Knights Goalie Robin Lehner Files For Bankruptcy, Cites $50 Million Debt LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Robin Lehner and his wife have filed for bankruptcy in Nevada, citing up to $50 million in debts to dozens of creditors. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing offers a glimpse into the couple’s financial problems, including money owed to no fewer than 50 people and companies, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. They filed for bankruptcy Dec. 30, months after a Wisconsin company sued Lehner for $4 million, claiming the NHL player and his father failed to make any payments last year on a business loan. Both Lehner and his father, Michael, are listed as principal members in a Nevada business license filing for Solarcode, a limited liability corporation doing business in multiple states, including Nevada and Arizona.

How on earth is it okay to protest LGBTQ+ in 2023?!?! I have no idea where you work but imagine if the higher ups forced all muslims at your work to stop praying during the day and for the women to remove hijabs/niqab/burka and demand that they all wear rainbow striped clothing. Based on what you are saying it appears that you would demand that those folks be reprimanded if they didn't comply? If you deny this then you are providing a double standard. The military night point that you referenced completely defends what I am saying. Kaepernick *should* of been able to exercise his right to kneel when that happened. You are saying that Kaepernick *should* of stood straight and follow exactly what the league demanded him to do. It's a dangerous mindset that folks like yourself have in which just because someone doesn't share the same beliefs that you have that they must be wrong and that they must change. Someone not having rainbow tape or badges doesn't mean that they want all LGBT people to die and want horrible things done to them. Its perfectly alright to just do your own thing. At my work they had United Way days where everyone was suppose to put on a United Way sticker, I didn't because I don't support that organization because I believe they are corrupt. I don't want them to burn into pieces or anything, I simply don't want to falsely support them when I don't believe in how they run a charity. Most people at my work do support the United Way. Based on what you said I should be fired because I didn't follow the majority of what people believe in. See how silly your argument is. I would hope in North America that anyone can exercise the right to believe in whatever they want to as long as it isn't breaking any laws.

And where did he say hate?? I'd like to see that quote, which of course doesn't exist. So you think fighting for freedom is the same thing? It's NOT Military Appreciation Night.

Noeller Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 You're right...Military is a bad comparison. People who enter the military make a choice to do so.

So if someone who chooses not to participate in something due to holding a 'religious' belief that is blatantly bigoted, prejudice, discriminatory, hateful etc etc etc and we call them out on that, it makes us the haters? Got it. Btw If anyone in the LGBTQ+ community chose not to participate in something like this because they held a 'religious' belief that heterosexuality was a sin it would be called out as well.
