Hopefully he won’t ditch his career.

NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS

He might not get traded.

This news is especially sad considering early reports that it was all fun and games.

He’s already demanded a trade to the Pirates.

What is the Vulcan for “brokeback”, anyway? Surely somebody reading this thread would know.

The Flyers keeping Forsberg instead of trading him and a ton of people for Lindros.

If the Flyers would have just left well enough alone and didn’t give away the team to get Eric Lindros. Kind of a draft pick. Kind of not.

If memory serves me correctly, Flyers took Mike Ricci over Jaromir Jagr at #2 spot.

fielders shifted to left field when he batted

As a boy alone on the practice field he heard the ghostly whisper

Punishing a whole group of people (fans) for the actions of a small minority of them (axanar) is not the right way to go about it. But hey, nice attempt at victim-blaming there, buddy.

As far as I can tell, the fans seem to be making the real thing and the studio is making the cheap rip…

Nope. I can’t agree to that. The only reason Axanar got the hype it did was because it was promising a real Star Trek experience, something we haven’t gotten from CBS/Paramount in decades.

Honestly, I don’t think that would change the NRA’s stance at all, either. It might, maybe, finally, embolden some politicians who’ve kowtowed to them for years to say, “Okay, the public outrage on this issue is high enough that the political backlash for me if I don’t support at least some common-sense gun control…

The Roanoke reporter and camera operator getting gunned down on live tv didn’t change their minds, either. I don’t even think a massive televised attack would do it.

If 100, pregnant, newly married, christiab white ladies were mowed down by an ar-15 it wouldn’t change the NRA’s stance.
