Serious question: Can you pinpoint what percentage of his injuries took place as a result of fighting versus what percentage of his injuries took place as a result of other hockey plays (getting hit in the head with sticks, getting hit in the corners into the boards, hitting his head on the ice as he falls, etc.)?

If your point is that ‘getting punched in the face can lead to CTE even if it’s the ‘safest’ way to get punched in the face’ then sure, I grant it.  But saying Derek Boogaard does not persuade me that there should be no fighting in hockey.

I will acknowledge that having this stance makes me dumb, on some fundamental level, but it is totally sincerely held. 

I still miss Johnny Boychuk...

‘Temptress’?

We could just viciously beat them everytime they act out.  (fwiw, I would sincerely support such an effort).

Mastodon’s dudes were legitimately spot-on as Wildlings

Lolol ;)

I appreciate that you finally had the good sense to surrender, wave the white flag, and admit I tanned your ass from ‘pallor’ to ‘crimson’.

Come on dipshit, I already made a 47 chromosome retard joke about you.  Now you’re just going to copy my material and do it worse than I did?  Come on kiddo, you should be better than this.  You must be too emotional and shrill to express yourself coherently right now.  Maybe I’ll give you a pass.

Interesting time for you to start sending selfies to me; are you suggesting you want to have sex?  I’m afraid I’ll have to decline; your hygiene situation is unacceptable, though it does perfectly conform to my expectations about you.

Because I am, as I previously stated, employed as a police officer in the United States. I have actively participated in the framing of black men and women. I have actively participated in the dismissal of cases against white men and white women that I believed to be guilty based on the evidence available. I have…

God I hate the way they shit on Tuukka, who is definitely the best Boston goalie of my lifetime (so since the mid-80s).  He has slumps sometimes but the man can play and always bounces back, just as he did this year after the rocky start.

Yup, I directly deny that. I’ve commit thousands of crimes myself and avoided arrest and prosecution specifically because I’m white, so I’m quite certain that the data to which you’re referring is incomplete and inaccurate.

I think your life might end in a violent fashion if you keep publicly proclaiming these ideas, Comrade.

Yeah I agree with this, more or less; Kyrie’s leadership has been fucking terrible and he’s probably given 10 more quotes to the media than he should have throughout the season that caused more drama, but his on-court play has nothing to do with their problems.

I’m a white man, which means I created civilization and gave everyone everything they ever had.

So you’re saying that you don’t actually pay any attention to what you’ve entered when you hit publish then? You’re careless to that degree?

I’m sorry, I don’t speak the language of those with 47 chromosomes, such as yourself. Please rephrase your question correctly so that I can accurately answer it.

You seek to spotlight crime perpetrated by blacks to excuse the HORRIFYING behavior of whites like you and me. Indeed, you are a much bigger coward than anyone else in this discussion could credibly be accused of being.
