Is hockey more racist than football? I guess hockey is more Ivy League WASP racism vs football's beer gut MAGA chud racism.

Lacrosse is probably worse than both tbh

The only racist part about hockey is the province of Quebec, and that's more racist against everyone but the French.

Besides, cold northern sports typically have cold northern people, doesn't detract from the snooze marathon that is the NBA regular season, first round of the playoffs, second round of the playoffs, and possibly the conference finals.

The NBA regular season is awesome.


This season of basketball has been the best season in forever.

So many great young players, so many good teams. The Style of play is open fast and fun.

All you have to ask yourself is how many back to back wins have the Bears gotten in the John Fox era. There's your answer.

I do actually wonder what the Bears offense would look like if the WR situation wasn't a dumpster fire.

I'm not sold on Trubisky but he really isn't getting the help a rookie QB needs.

Well they could have kept Alshon and maybe gotten a competent receiver elsewhere but then they wouldn't have been able to pay Mike Glennon a fuckton of money.

I'm happy with Trubisky as a rookie QB, so I have tempered expectations. As I said earlier, instead of Glennon they should have gone after Tyrod Taylor for cheaper, throw in Sammy Watkins too. Those two + Alshon would be a great passing package.

Luckily, Howard is gonna run for 200 yards.

Oh wait he won't because Fox will only give him 12 carries... Let's say he gets 100 yards.

There were much cheaper and better transitional QBs available. Josh McCown signed for $6 million. They could have gotten Hoyer for multiple years at a cheaper rate. Fitzpatrick is practically playing for the minimum.

They could have used that extra money to sign competent receivers. For instance they could have kept Alshon and even brought in someone like Woods or LaFell too. It seems kind of silly to draft a QB and have him throw to the worst WR crew in football.

Look, we’ll never get anywhere arguing about which sport is the best, but I think at least we can all agree that not liking the NBA makes you a racist and that preferring hockey makes you a mega racist.

This holds. I don't think I've ever met someone that doesn't like basketball or likes hockey that isn't a mega-honkey. I once was told by a white coworker that he didn't trust me because I was "a white guy who's favorite sport is basketball" whatever the gently caress that means. Michigan has a giant white boner for hockey though.
