  1. Very true. Something has been completely dysfunctional in New Jersey this season.
  2. Definitely didn't see that one coming when I woke up this morning.
  3. I like Subban but he's absolutely fallen off a cliff this year. I'm glad Benning didn't give up the relatively small package New Jersey did to acquire him.
  4. Yep, I believe that's why they still have to deal with the cap.
  5. From what I understand, the Kings are still on the hook for Kovalchuk’s cap, they just won’t have to pay him his salary.
  6. Honkey? I'm black, you brainless dolt. But hey, since according to you and your examples, it's all equal regardless of context, so you might as well have thought you were calling me a n***** (with a hard R) there.* I gave you far too much credit in thinking you might have reflected on the situation and realized how ridiculous you sounded yesterday. Black people don't need to be coddled or are incapable of standing up for themselves when confronted with racist situations. The simple, sad truth is that what tends to happen when a single black person in an otherwise all white space does call out someone's racism, the group is quick to label them as the one with the problem. "He's just another angry black man", "he doesn't know how to take a joke", etc; basically, any mental gymnastics needed to shift blame for a $&!#ty action on to the victim. Which, by the way, that's exactly what you've done this entire thread. You've got nothing to say about the trainer (other than saying it isn't fair if he faces any repercussions from this), or Colorado Eagles organization for letting this happen, but damned if you don't have plenty of opinions on how you think Aliu should have reacted to the situation to your satisfaction; all while casting judgement about Aliu's character for speaking out about it now. That pretty much says it all for where you stand and who you are. *See how stupid that sounds?
  7. Here's the thing, I don't even believe you think Tropic Thunder is racist. What I think is going on is that you looked like a complete knob earlier in the thread, and you know it, so now you're trying to save face with this little routine.
  8. Well, that's about the same complete lack of understanding of nuance that pretty much seems to be your default. You probably think White Chicks is the same as Birth of a Nation.
  9. I don't know if the trainer is a racist but he sure as hell did something racist there.
  10. Says the guy who can’t tell the difference between a movie and a team orchestrating a racist prank on one of their own. Hit me back when you can write a passing grade 6 book report, much less discuss film theory and power dynamics when it comes to race.
  11. Forgive me if I don’t give you the benefit of the doubt when your contributions to this thread seem to be to try to diminish what happened.
  12. Just a heads up: when you say “what about Tropic Thunder!?” in regards to blackface, it makes you look pretty damn ignorant. The whole point of Kirk Lazarus the character is that he’s such a head-up-his-ass method actor that he doesn’t see any issue with playing a black man. Plus, he gets called out on what he’s doing throughout the movie.
  13. Spot on, Alf. It's pretty damning that none of the people involved called out how uncool of a "joke" this was.
  14. I never thought there'd be people who think players not playing through concussions is a sign of weakness, and a detriment to hockey, but I forgot we're on the internet. FFS, boys, it's not 1972; we know what CTE does to people long term. Nah, screw Eriksson. Guy gets paid millions to be the 14th guy and now he's injuring teammates?
  15. Honestly? You sound like someone who is completely out of his depth and is talking out of his ass about things he's never had to deal with before. Yeah, the fact that he's black and they decided to do this, in a coordinated effort, does make a difference. It's also pretty telling that you don't seem to have an issue with what the Eagles did to Aliu but want to take Aliu to task for not reacting to the situation how you think he should have.
  16. @Tortorella's Rant Sure, laugh. Why don't you go ahead and tell me about all your experiences being the only black guy in an otherwise all white group?
  17. Because then you get labeled as an angry black man for having the gall to call out a group of white people for their racist bull$&!#.
  18. I don't think it was fine when Trudeau did it either. So what now, smart guy? I like how you read the article but completely ignored this bit:
