bishopshodan Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I have been around long enough to take @Master Mind's brown bags as a compliment. I think they need a reusable bag emoji just for you. Brown paper bags are not good for the planet and you over use them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also won't be celebrating the loss of these warm up jerseys for cause games either, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not the best option for sustainability. Trees you can plant more. Plastic is not bio-degradable. So basically plastic gets shredded (maybe) and micro plastics get into the soil, and possibly into the ocean or lakes. You're stuck with the least damaging alternative. This is why I'm a fan of glass. Even though companies hate it for handling. Because glass can be melted down and used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched Lions vs Blue Bombers last night. I don’t recall seeing a single charity, special interest group, minority or gambling site being promoted. No extra jerseys, no digital advertisements during play, no requests for money or donations. It was refreshing and enjoyable compared to watching an NHL broadcast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vocal minority forced change based on make believe, fantasy stuff. It's 2023 for sky fairie's sake. We fans pay these players salaries. WE fans are the reason this league exists. The will of the vast majority should have some influence. Like any company, the NHL will have a code of conduct and policies. It needs to be updated and implemented. That said the league is going to shit. Sports betting and ads everywhere etc.. That’s your opinion only. It’s a nothing bigger. Nobody even watches the warmups. The theme nights and the making and the selling of the jerseys for profit will still happen. 13 teams last year didn’t even bother to wear the jerseys in warmup so it was already almost half the league. So unless you force the players to do it then you have to eliminate that situation entirely which is exactly what the NHL has done. The league isn’t going to shit. Stop being melodramatic.

But yeah, I think mocking people's beliefs for the sake of mocking them is in poor taste. It just divides people more. It might be in poor taste. However, one of the worlds best comedy troupe's bread and butter, Monty Python, was mocking this subject. They actually helped me growing up realise how it all shouldn't be taken too seriously as it is made up. Not based in anything, at all. Fantasy. Not something to fear, other than some of the followers I suppose. I think people need to be open to discussion and try not to be so offended. For example, I just mentioned this the other day, I have beliefs that are actually based on science. Reality. I get mocked by many because I am a compassionate vegetarian. As in, even though I think it is a healthier diet, I do it because some animals that people eat are sentient. I don't get offended by the 'mmmm bacon' jokes. It revolts me as I always think it could be 'mmmm toddlers' for the reason that pigs feel, think, and are aware at the level of a 3 years old. Still, I'm part of this society so I wont just shut them down, or cancel their opinions over some jokes. 3 hours ago, Ghostsof1915 said: You can recycle paper. I was thinking along these lines but don't know enough on the subject. https://www.reusethisbag.com/articles/the-truth-about-paper-bags#:~:text=Paper bags generate 70 more,costs more fuel per bag. Paper bags generate 70 more air pollutants than plastic. They generate 50 times more water pollutants than plastic. It takes 91 percent less energy to recycle a plastic bag than it does a paper bag. Paper bags are very thick, so shipping them costs more fuel per bag. 3 hours ago, Mando27 said: NHL has no problem promoting gambling but cave to people that are scared of colors.

You think it's only my opinion? I don't think so, read the thread. Some people watch the warm ups at the Arena. I love seeing the team skate around in different unis. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed EP? It is not just my opinion that the league is going to shit. Viewership is down, they have ads all over the unis and helmets, the reffing seems worse than ever, the vitual ads take away from the home experience, the relentless gambling push is turning people off ( as I mentioned globally) and the league even gets chirped by chumps like Dana White. He's not wrong. You sure I'm just being meodramtic? come one man. Edited June 23, 2023 by bishopshodan 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
