RWMc1 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 1 hour ago, SabreFan1 said: A month or two ago I came across an article that studied people who were seen as continually being outraged over social issues. When they were given scans, the reward center of their brain would go into overdrive. Those kind of people seeking to be offended on the behalf of others because they get pleasure from it are why the term SJW was created. I notice that in every thread that someone expresses being offended, there are others who express their being offended by the others being offended. I bet that if scans were done on people who are outraged at other peoples outrage a similar result would occur. There are people on both sides of the fence waiting for either something to be offended by or to be offended by others being offended; and on it goes. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-SN- Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 If we chain enough offense to offense we can eventually all live in eternal pleasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local chapters? International governing bodies? Or is the term SJW just a kind of dog whistle to rally opponents of, well, social justice? Perhaps you would prefer social injustice? As far as I can see there are extremes at either end of the spectrum. Try for the common ground and go from there, but if you insist on labelling those who disagree with you SJWs, you are being just as militant as the people you disparage. Then nobody can hear each other over the shouting. Let's all try a little tolerance and recognize that not agreeing with your world view isn't bad or evil or stupid, it is just different and labelling it with some nebulous catch all term doesn't help anyone. nope would just prefer a world where you can actually express an opinion without being attacked because someone somewhere is offended by it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danaimo Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Cherry should have been canned years ago. He is just a gimmick. If your main selling point is the suits you wear, you clearly don't have much to sell. I stopped watching Coaches Corner years ago because I knew exactly what he was going to say before the suit commercial had ended. He always appealed to the lowest common denominator, brought very little insight to the game and was like that drunk uncle at a wedding that wants everyone to know what a great success he could have been. Good riddance. Now if Roger's Sportnet want a replacement there would be no one better than Mr Rick Bowness. Widely respected around the NHL by players, GMs and fans. Years of experience. When I've heard him speak on radio or TV he always comes across as a classy guy. He would be my vote. But of cause, Rogers has to decide whether they want pure entertainment or try a more cerebral option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a different opinion, that's fine. You're naïve if you don't think there are groups of people out there looking for something to be offended by so they can rally together for "the cause" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our sport has a very rich history and he was a link to the past through his experiences. When he stuck to hockey and told stories from when he played/coached, it was great. I'll take that over listening to someone drone on about analytics. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jai604 Posted November 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) I'm not sure people understand that Don Cherry wasn't fired for just this one comment. It's been cumulative. He has a history of saying these kinds of things. This was just the final straw, and it was time. As a person on a nationally broadcasted podium, he has to be held to a higher standard. He's not just some schmo in a bar spouting off his opinion. Nobody is saying he can't have his opinion. He just can't make divisive and bigoted comments ON THE AIR on national TV and expect to keep his job. And that isn't to say that Don Cherry hasn't done a lot of great things for the sport of hockey and this country. He is a legend of the game, surely. Again, had he just simply included everyone in his outrage and not just singled out immigrants, I don't think a single person would have disagreed with Don.

I find this statement just a racist as anything else u are trying to say in ur post. Racism does not just apply to non whites. Dont sit there and group all whites together if you are going to try and talk about being anti racist. Some whites did those things, I sure as hell didnt , so I find this just as offensive as others found Cherry s comments . I should not have to pay for things other whites did , just like other minorities should not either .

Classic 80s cheese! 2) Yeah "Arnold" was going to film a movie here as well but decided running for Governor of California might be a bit more difficult if he filmed a movie here instead of LA 3) I laughed when they had to "dirty up the alleys alot" for Jackie Chan's "Rumble in the Bronx" when that was filmed here (heh, might not have to do that today).
