Oyaji 6,029 Posted September 7, 2016 Plus, it's not like hockey players are known to have any political leanings other than mostly being farm boys of privilege and Ken Dryden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death From Above 3,574 Posted September 8, 2016 I'm actually happy in this case that hockey is more or less off the radar in the US, because the optics of the sport thought of as the "rich white sport" (regardless of my own disdain for America projecting its shit onto everyone) having the USA coach behaving this way is incredibly bad. It's so tone deaf to what the issues were, and on top of that it smells more than a little of small time publicity stunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odessasteps 10,304 Posted September 8, 2016 Wait until we hear from Don on this. torts will sound like a Berkeley liberal compared to Grapes. They made an interesting point on this on 590. even someone progressive on social issues like Burke took a hardline stance on the anthem thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death From Above 3,574 Posted September 16, 2016 Burke is a really interesting guy. Sometimes he can be incredibly childish (still challenging other management people to fights), but he's also at times been incredibly progressive and the kind of support he's given his son Patrick and the whole You Can Play movement is very commendable. His kids all seem like stand up people, at least based on what we see of them through social media, so he must have done something right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dolfan in NYC 11,967 Posted January 30 For the record, having been to Denver, I am a fan of Mr. Dogg's products. In other news, Austin Watson has been suspended indefinitely by the NHL for "ongoing issues with alcohol abuse." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
