  1. Why is Canucks Twitter harassing Brandi Holtby? She deleted her account? Was this seriously over a mask?

      Canucks twitter is pissed at holtby for using his usual (world famous) mask artist who happens to be swedish to depict a first nations inspired thunderbird on his mask, instead of finding a west coast indigenous artist to do it (which I believe he is now doing), and 'cultural appropration'. Said canucks twitter was giving Brandi too much s**t, so she had to deactivate it. So they've turned an innocent "didn't think about that" moment (like we've all had) and turned it into one of the worst welcomes any player has had in pro sports. So just loud, s****y 'fans' again.

       

      Not on twitter:

      ^pft what a dumb issue. Canucks Twitter should be thankful he even signed here and put First Nations art on his mask.

      The are so many people that respond to any thing that "offends" them. I do not get it. This was an homage to first nations people and culture. To infer that one can not paint/carve/sculpt an art form, is ridiculous. 

       

      To my first nation brothers and sisters, do not take life so seriously, that you can not recognize when someone is honoring you.

       

      Art is shared, and celebrated, and copied, through out the world. Art forms have moved north to south and east to west for millennia, away because some culture liked what another culture had perfected.

       

      You can take art classes in many art forms, in any city, in any nation of the world.

       

      I find this whole issue sad, and not an appropriate way for any family to be welcomed into a community.

       

      I recognize this may offend some people, and I am sorry, it is not my intention, but all people are becoming too sensitive, and do not practice tolerance.
