California hockey website fabricates Bieksa interview, calls him "racist"

[Canucks_fo_life]

Bieksa continued (probably):

"Yeah I mean I could totally understand the lack of integrity if they were filthy Swedes or cowardly Germans or backstabbing Australians but they are Canadians! That means they are naturally morally superior and are supposed to live up to a higher standard of play, to provide an example for all the other, lesser peoples of the Earth. We Canadians have an obligation - a 'Canadian Man's Burden' if you will - to uphold the integrity of the sport of hockey against the corrupting influence of Finns, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenians, Americans, Russians..."

Then Bieksa was tackled by the Vancouver Canucks public relations manager and the interview ended.

[Guest]

What a joke. Anything to try and bash the Canucks. Pathetic

[ElfShotTheFood]

Swedish, German, and Russian aren't "races." They're nationalities.

[deized_kanuck604]

Sounds about right

Man, gotta love overreactions. (By the OP, not the obviously satirical hockey blog)

[Canucks_fo_life]

The hundreds of comments on the page are the real entertainment, some real jewels in there

That's the website's logo. Is ANYONE expecting them to be a completely serious blog?

[Ugli Fruit]

Nationality =/= Race

This is a fail no matter what the intention of the article was.

[MoneypuckOverlord]

Bieksa should really shut it actually.

[messier's_elbow]

My IQ lowered reading this.

[Blueberries]

People in Cali care about hockey?

[Caboose]

OP really has no sense of humour.
