keep any kind of politics out of it
In favor of no national anthems then?
Comment on Oilers' McDavid wants NHL to reverse ban on theme tape including for Pride

Or, or, just play the fucking game and for the love of god please keep any kind of politics out of it. Not everything needs to be filled with statements.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes, for the love of fucking god. Not because national anthems are political, that’s one of the dunbest things that’s been said in this thread, but because they’re an annoying waste of time. I wanna watch the sport, stop singing weirdo’s.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nationalism is a political statement even if you don’t want to believe it is.
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Fair enough

Many national anthems are fairly radical political manifestos.
Just because they’ve been put to some music and we’ve gotten used to them doesn’t make them any less radical.
It’s funny to think that statements like “arise, children of the fatherland, against the bloody flag of tyranny” or “O Lord our God arise, scatter our enemies and make them fall!” or “Let’s unite, we’re ready to die! For centuries we’ve been stamped on and laughed at because we’re not one people” should be completely okay and everybody should stand and listen in awe, but “black lives matter” would be too radical and too political for the same setting.

Your comment to keep politics out of hockey is also political, so you should delete it or accept your own hypocrisy.

Is this what no bitches does to a man
Delphia@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“For the love of god”
Why do you people have to keep dragging religion into this?
GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s an expression that is in the zeitgeist. Like an axe to grind or a pot to piss in. It has trancended literal interpretation.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Wait. Then why did I buy that piss pot? I thought I was upgrading from my gamer bottle.

You realize the tape was the result of research that showed that hockey was the least homosexual friendly sport to play, right?
It’s supposed to be for everyone, but then they get angry at you if you’re gay.
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Least homosexual sport is a bunch of shit mate. What, you gonna perform worse if you’re gay? If you play the game and keep your sexuality to yourself like everyone else I doubt there’s an issue.
MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 8 months ago
So all the straight players never mention their wives, girlfriends, or sexual conquests to their teammates? They just keep that to themselves? Bullshit. Straight people are never told to “keep their sexuality to themselves.”
JohnnyH842@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Idk in a game that has historically had issues with sexual assault and hazing and enough people speaking out about not feeling welcome, don’t you think it’s kind of important to address in one way or another? It’s making noise because it’s going against the status quo. NHL made a decision based on the beliefs of like 10 players vs the rest of the league who supported pride nights.
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No, if it’s shit snd weird shit goes on stop watching and sending money their way. It’ll sort itself out or die

I really disagree with your opinion, but this comment was funny, you get my upvote lol
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You can disagree with my opinion and not be a complete dick. Lotta people here forgot that a disagreement on something that barely matters does not make us arch enemies

Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
A lot of assumptions, I thought you guys hated those
pimento64@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
How about we let the players do what they feel like and stop trying to nanny them over what they can and can’t do with their own shit. Fucking weirdo.
sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
It would be nice if the NHL would have an list of approved tapes. And the approval process was really quick and painless, just to keep out tape with swastikas or whatnot.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 8 months ago
No let them do tape with shit like that, so the teams can fire them and they out themselves.

That’s very specific buddy… is there something you want to talk about?
Lemonparty@lemm.ee 8 months ago
It’s okay if rainbow tape is your fetish. Definitely nothing wrong with your asshole throbbing any time you see someone supporting gay rights. Don’t be ashamed!
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re very strange
JewGoblin@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I see this site is just like Reddit, it’s like the plague, everyone that downvoted this doesn’t watch or has ever played sports
stillwater@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Explain, because that’s a hell of an assumption. What exactly is inherent to sports that everyone is missing when downvoting someone dumb enough to say sexuality is political?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 months ago
I downvoted it while at an NHL game.

Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You don’t have to play sports to know this is a stupid rule. If you weren’t a goon you would know that.

nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 8 months ago
And colorful tape didn’t have to be political either. Banning shit like that, or pride, blm, or any other non-hate based messaging is fucking ridiculous.

I don’t care if you’re gay, I’m just sick of seeing rainbows everywhere.

I don’t care if you’re Christian, I’m just sick of seeing crosses everywhere.

That’s also annoying, but it’s not as widespread anymore as the pride stuff.

That’s great, does your existence need to be announced in everything? I don’t do that with mine.
Almamu@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You’re kind of doing it right now with your bad takes, just like I am when commenting on this post. It’s as stupid as saying “keep politics out”, a life in community IS political, like it or not…
Uncle_Iroh@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Nah, not really.
