Being Right wing is racist and fireable now? Shannahan has no backbone

So in your eyes: IQ of a fridge > IQ of the AGM user > IQ of a plant > chances that Blake Comeau doesn't giveaway the puck.

Since y’all talking about ACGM I have a funny couple thoughts:

I’m a “Bruins fan” in the sense that out of all 32 teams the Bruins are quite high for me in terms of who I’d cheer for if not the Sharks. But I ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY WILL NEVER make an ACGM with a Bruins trade. Because they have the absolute worst comments of some of the site. 99.999999999999999999999999% of trade suggestions must be Bruins favoured or you’re getting near death threats (“ye Debrusk is worth about Meier, Hertl and a first for reason xyz and you’re a ret*rd”)

Another good one is there is a specific Sharks poster/ user that will not interact with me whatsoever for some reason. I once saw a reply about me from them that roughly (can’t remember) said “ I cannot and will not talk to @ Yikes, he’s not blocked but he is someone I can’t stand “. AND I LITERALLY HAVE ZERO IDEA WHO THE GUY IS LMFAO. I have even disregarded seeing that comment and quoted him even recently on other posts agreeing with a opinion of his and continuing a thought that other comments chained off of but they completely hate me lol. I truly enjoy it but still wonder what’s their deal lol.

I only have 1 person blocked and they thought I was dumb and wrong for saying Vegas was planning on “making a splash” once and flamed/ argued with me for multiple threads saying I was dumb and wrong etc etc and than soon after Vegas signed Pietrangelo. Still made my laugh when I knew the person really did not like my @ on his signing lol.

I also would like to see more coaching stats somehow.

Like I’d love to see how impactful Cooper is. He’s one of the coaches that truly impact his team imo. Like Trotz does in his own way. Or Torts does….REALLY IN HIS OWN WAY lol.

*Win lose with Torts but also category of how many disgruntled players leave the team during his tenure😭😂*

The internet is just f* cked up at this point, and sadly there’s no return it will only get worse. This is the only thing left, the Forums.

I don't but his political beliefs shouldn't have anything to do with his job. If republicans are really all the things the Left say they are then there's something truly wrong with America's political process. Or it's all an illusion wink

HUH!!!

You really want a man in our organization who is

Anti-Vaccination
Pro-Insurrection
Transphobic
and Racist

I know he helped Campbell rebound and become a great goalie and I'm thankful for that. But that still does not change the fact he has been found guilty of all the points listed above. And this in general makes Shannahan's decision to fire him justified beyond a shred of a doubt.

GOOD RIDDANCE is all I can say


Trump is literally the one behind the vaccines rollout but ok

They aren't. They aren't the one trying to get their opposition fired at every turn for saying the wrong word that offends a few people on the internet

Quick update on my classes btw:
Tomorrow I should be passing a test which, if I pass it (it's 50 multi option questions), will allow me to fly in solo when my instructor believes I'm ready. Cool stuff.

He has a right to say and believe what he wants. The Marlies have a right not to employ him because of things he says and believes.

It's a bit on the nose that you read those twitter likes and said they were "right-wing".

Not talking about this. Talking generally. It's not acceptable to fire people based on their personnal opinions.

I believe such a person would be a moron, but if someone:
-said the Earth is flat
-believed that Holocaust was fake
-believed that vaccines cause autism or some other bs like this

I still wouldn't want him to be fired, because when you set such a precedent it can get very dangerous very quickly.

Opinions aren't sacrosanct. You can be criticized for them.

Saying stuff like the Earth is flat, the Holocaust is fake and vaccines cause autism reflect both badly on you and your employer. MLSE didn't want to be associated with someone who was actively cheering on the failed coup in January. It reflects badly on their brand values and on their organization.

A dangerous precedent wasn't set; I'm confident my team won't hire awful people like Dusty in the future.

On a much more lighthearted note, here’s my team Canada where each line & pairing is a different province:

On that 3rd D parring you should seriously reconsider replacing one of them with Blake Comeau 😉. The Saskatchewan legend himself.

Who cares about freaking likes??

And it's not like he liked things advocating for the murder of 1/2 the population, because, unlike what people seem to believe, Covid isn't a death sentence. Dangerous? Yes. Deadly? Yes? Did I get vaccinated? Yes (second dose was yesterday). Should others do it as well? Yes. Are the different vaccines (mostly) safe? Yes they are.

But come on man stop whining about tweets.
