“The NFL is doing fine.
Getting drunk and sniffing jocks is too important for average Americans.”

It’s an addiction that even a lot of freepers can’t let go of.

Americans can get drunk for two days and watch football, or they can exercise and read Camp of the Saints.

I know which choice I’m making. (Obviously there’s tons of choices)

“or they can exercise and read Camp of the Saints.”

Great prophetic book! I’ve read it several times.

“I'd say it has more to do with the terms of the NHL-NHLPA collective bargaining agreement (rather than Governor DeSantis).”

Maybe; I don't know for sure.

I do know that individuals have lots of rights in the U.S. that are violated all the time by big business, big tech, big education, big unions, big sports, big entertainment, big medicine, big government and the big double justice system. And I know it is hard for the little man to enforce fair play.

One thing these big confident organizations do understand: getting hit up side the head good and hard by somebody not afraid of them. Someone that wins elections by 20 percentage points.

Governor DeSantis has done that and I think they have been rattled. You may have noticed Disney is walking softly in Tallahassee as of late; with their hat in their hands.

Gov. DeSantis has nothing to do with the NHL’s response to your he silly theatrics at a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game.

This is pretty much the same thing as the Colin Kaepernick fiasco, but with two important distinctions:

1. Ivan Provorov is the top defenseman on the Flyers, and is getting paid $6.75M this season under the terms of his contract. His contract is with the Flyers, not the NHL … and under the terms of both his contract and the agreement between the NHL and NHLPA the league pretty much has no say in what happens on the ice during pregame warmups.

2. The Flyers have an old-school fan base that loves hockey, loves good hockey players, and doesn’t give a sh!t about rainbow flags and all that crap.

Not sure what you are saying.

What about a 'Cunnilingus' pride night for men into oral sex? Jerseys and hockey sticks could have big pink tongues printed on them.

Anyone who objects is a hater.

NHL fans who say Cunnilingus Pride doesn't have anything to do with hockey will be told to 'go back to the country they came from'...

The LBGQWERTYUI 'community' are bullies - silly stupid bullies.

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink…

Good point. The Sodomites have just begun to plumb the depths of depravity.

That is disgusting and sexist.

I vote for: Oral Pride. Less offensive and gives all the Monica's an opportunity as well. Fair and balanced.

If DeSantis objects to teaching oral 'techniques' to kindergartners will the bimbos of 'The View' and New York Times call DeSantis a suckaphobic?

Russia turned away from communism - it’s why American commies/elites/progressives hate Russia so much.

Only one NHL player stood up to the nonsense.

So sad.
