Really, if the NHL had any balls they'd suspend Getzlaf for tonight. Doesn't matter how severe what he said was, doesn't matter what his status on his team is, make an example of this. Show that saying a homophobic slur will not be tolerated, no matter who you are and when it happens.


Personally, I agree with all of this and would suspend him if I was god and commissioner. However, I always wonder pessimistically whether these kind of actions in the end do more harm or good - whether the kind of viewer base sports have is likely to go "hmm, yes, this is not tolerated and I agree" or "loving liberal cucks, PC anti-free speech thought control brigade stopping a harmless sports-related-outburst, I'll vote for a (R) white man in the future too!" to put it in very banal terms.

because of its multiple uses it's kind of hard to track the development of "Pussy" in our stupid language especially because puss/pussy/pussycat were all in use at the same time to mean entirely different things. sometime in the 1600s, puss taken from pussycat was used as a way to say women sucked because they shared all of the same bad traits that cats had. at about the same time, pussy was a slang term to compliment women seemingly by comparing them to the positive attributes of a cat. at or around the same time, pussy was used to refer to cowardly/effeminate men. pussy as an endearing term for women also saw some use in the early-mid 1800s, especially in reference to kindly older women? or something along those lines. what a weird word with a weird history

Preds must have taken notes from the Pens last year. Key to winning the Cup isn't your core team. It's having really good AHL/young players to replace your main injured players when they go down in the playoffs.

This thread is going to be devastated to learn about what all gets said in every single game in the NHL but isn't caught on camera.

That's not to defend the culture, but it's deeply rooted and we're all cheering for people who have said as much or worse.

The final round is going to be sled hockey at the rate players are being injured.

I know the list of injuries every year is pretty eye popping, but I swear this season feels like there's a higher attrition rate.

It's not any more than usual, the 4 teams involved are just a gender neutral term for baby men and don't man up and play with busted lungs and detached testicles like real hockey men do.

Calling someone a cocksucker is not homophobic.

Jesus christ.

Based on that logic, he would have got in less trouble for telling someone he was a 'dripping oval office' or a 'baby fucker.'


Edit: I'm going to be really disappointed now if Getzlaf doesn't call someone a baby fucker next game.

Some of my best friends are cocksuckers. Always just figured it was more akin to saying "you're a woman" than "you're a gay". Either way, I'm sure we can survive without it.
