The hallmark of a good discussion.

It’s group think. Orwell would be proud.

Orwell was a socialist - I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t be proud of anything that you or BoLevi said in this thread.

If its in Times New Roman font? You think I'm gonna wear a shirt celebrating those monsters who killed Jesus?

Nah. These players taking a stand for their intolerant beliefs are not on the very of coming around on their own. The discussion is important. Yup, we're gonna be salty and insulting, because the emotions of anger and sadness are totally legitimate when these buffoons attempt to sugarcoat the righteousness of their hateful beliefs.

It's as simple as this:

Would you wear a Diwali jersey, despite being a Christian and Hinduism and Sikhism being directly against your Christian faith?

Would you wear a Indigenous jersey, despite being a Christian and Indigenous spirituality being directly against your Christian faith?

Would you wear a military appreciation jersey, despite killing being directly against your Christian faith?

But you won't want to wear a pride jersey because it's directly against your Christian faith? I call bull####.

To correct the record: This is not at all what I said.

I said Kadri took the Cup and celebrated it with a homophobe who actively campaigned against gay people. This is far more egregious than anything that Reimer did.

(Also, that wasn't a Reimer thread, it was a general NHL thread).

Which was also something you made made up to try to de-rail the thread and make it about evil brown people

In a liberal society we should all be willing to accept things that we may not endorse. That is why your view on the topic is so illiberal.

Made up? Hardly. The facts on what Kadri did with the Cup, and with whom he did it is in the public record.

Yes, and your evidence of such was immediately proven to be false. It was just an attempt by you, multiple times, to try and go "well if you guys are so woke, why isn't anyone talking about the muslims!"

We're not doing this again, take your troll job elsewhere because I'm not taking the bait

Can we ship BoLevi to a Tiger Cats forum now?

Now I know not only BoLevi is anti LGBTQ he is also anti Muslim.

As I said, what he did with the cup, and with whom he did it is in the public record. I said nothing about muslims in general as such generalizations aren't appropriate. I simply pointed out the reporting (by reputable news outlets).

Probably closer to facist.

Is BoLevi actually BoLevi? Now that I have no interest in caring about Bo Levi Mitchell at all, I am willing to entertain this notion. In fact, I have decided it is objectively true.

The poster certainly seems like he's had dozens of concussions in his life...

Can we stop with this? I'm happy to shut down this thread just like I did the last one.

Who is "we", and why does everything have to be shut down regarding this topic because of that single person?
