Anger Management
Hyacin
I don't follow hockey much the last 15-20 years or so - but the only people I heard about skipping out on pride stuff were fundamentalist Christian ~~Americans~~ (fml, the Staal's are Canadian)! Not to say others didn't do it - just it didn't make big enough waves to hit the 'non-sports news' I watch.
Which is what makes the next people feel like they have to pile in to the box or they'll never get anywhere.
It's the same where rights are allowed on reds. If you don't pile into the box and there is a line of cars waiting to make a right, someone WILL steal that spot when it opens up just past the box, because people are selfish assholes, full stop.
Forget resigning ... these people need to be put in jail.
This shit is just going to continue, forever, as it has my entire life, until we have and enforce REAL penalties for this kind of crap.
You can go to jail for doing similar things in the private sector ... I'm unsure which should be held to a higher standard tbh, but they should at least be in the same ballpark ... not this "you should resign." "no." bullshit.
The same reason there are people who call anything anti-Zionist "anti-semitic". Take that as you will, but to me it is a means to scare and silence people.
