For the sake of transparency, I actually emailed Pierre after he posted the first story I linked there. He was kind enough to reply to me, and we ended up speaking about Brendan Burke, Brian Burke, John Buccigross's article about about Brendan and what it meant to me to see these stories as a hockey fan.

Sorry, I just noticed the second quote wasn't properly attributed since I was on mobile - it was Bayne Pettinger saying that, via LeBrun

Theyve found an issue thats divisive, but the majority of people are clearly going to end up on the pro side, which reinforces the ESG rating system as valid in the minds of the public. Doesnt seem like much now, but its unreasonably naive to think these systems are being put in place for the benefit of anyone but the board members at these financial insitutions and their long-term ambitions.

Long story short, if you take your moral ques from big corporations, youre going to end up ####ed in the head. Bullying people into complying with corporate moral authoritism is peak "clapping seal" behavior.
Is all this from the same source that you used to decide the moon landing and the Challenger explosion were faked so NASA could funnel money into black ops?

Hahaha did MCR just delete my post after I explained why I thought he was wrong? That's hilarious... you're right by default, I guess!

I hope they keep going at the Staal losers and show him a video and picture and ask him why he lied.

MCR might not be very good at this moderating thing.

I wouldn't go that far, I don't really care that much, I just thought it was funny... I'm pretty much okay to agree to disagree about the importance of the views of hockey journalists on social / political issues. Don't make me part of whatever you've got going on with the mods, I don't need that smoke.

I don't have anything going with the mods. They don't talk to me. Would just be nice if they could provide some explanation for deleting posts rather than just silently doing so. I've had relatively benign stuff deleted and more spicy stuff remains. I'm too lazy to ask why.

Hard to blame them if they did. This topic has really shined a light on the level of hatred, ignorance, and bigotry that’s clearly still very prevalent and if they nuked a post it happens. Hard to distinguish between the intentionally hateful and those who choose to engage in silly devil’s advocate pedantic arguments. One will get caught up in the wake if one chooses to try and play philosophy 101 with emotional topics they don’t seem to understand. Read the room etc

As far as I am concerned make every one of those bigots who refuse to wear a pride jersey go out in the warmups to at least let me know who I won't cheer for.

We know horrible people who have outdated opinions exist, that is what thanksgiving dinner is for. This at least lets me know who is the awful uncle in the family is. Hockey in general and the NHL in particular is a very rich sport when you consider the tens of thousands of dollars that is costs families to put their kids into organized hockey and even more at the elite levels. The NHL is likely filled with undereducated rich white men with conservative values.

I still can't believe anything other than this type of response is still even a thing today. I'm ashamed for the human race that it still is a thing. I always thought ir was just ignorance. It's not, unfortunately.
Big fan of this quote also - Everybody is welcome in my locker room.

Well, to be fair.. NASA did bring In actual Nazi leaders and scientists to speed up their mission.. so maybe a little mistrust is fine
