Who gives a damn?
The rest of us don’t get to use our jobs as a grandstand.
He can say or do whatever he wants outside the arena.
On the job? Just do your job punk. That’s what people are paying you to do. Hijacking the game for your own political reasons is crap.
Let’s face it, if you have been anywhere in your life outside your door, you have experienced racism. i don’t care what color you are.
Maybe I’m being a little harsh. After all, he isn’t going to do the kneeling thing.
But it’s still...why does he have to bring it into his job in the first place.
As an American of Italian descent, I’ve had to withstand AWFUL jokes (as in not funny) from the likes of Nickcarraway and I’ve had to read about places called “Noodle Company” or some such wording.
Yet I’ve NEVER knelt while reading Free Republic.
Except for that one time when my hiatal hernia acted up after a particularly strong dish of gnocchi.
I think you are. You’re basically saying, no matter what he does he’s wrong. And if he didn’t make some kind of statement, the media would hound him.
I thought you were half Italian and half Sicilian.
SICILIANS MAKE UP THE BEST PART OF THE ITALIANS!!!!
THE MAINLAND SNEERS AT US OUT OF JEALOUSY!!!!!
Mom’s folks were from Sicily and pop was straight out of Naples (not Compton).
She made the best home made Sicilian pizza when I was a kid. Alas, she is too old now to make it.
She also made great home made Cavatelli, whose origins you probably know better than me, wannabe Italian that you are.
He’s been asked about it incessantly, so I don’t blame him to addressing it head-on.
twice as many whites are shot by cops than blacks, but white liuves don’t matter.
nearly everything in america revolves around the 13 percent of the population who have “no power”
Something to keep in mind here is that being disrespectful during ANY country’s national anthem is a no-no in hockey. Canadian hockey fans know the U.S. national anthem by heart.
..liked PK Subban’s statement much better...
P.S. — Joel Ward is Canadian, so it’s ludicrous to be asking him about this sh!t.
Good job Joel.
Maybe people look at them suspiciously because most of them are leering menacingly out of hoodies.
Hoodies have traditionally been the choice of assassins and robbers throughout time and in every culture.
And I know both the English and French versions of O, Canada.
I see the nerdiest teens from the high school in hoodies.
Emulating the “oppressed” class.
For crying out loud, you’re from Ontario and your parents are from Barbados.
Get over yourself.
