Every time they put a mic to a hockey player's mouth, he shits on the narrative. "It's outrageous that we can't play" is the growing consensus, as well as the thought of "Why are they testing people who have no symptoms, they're just digging for cases"

That and with respect to the Olympics it was split between guys that wanted to go and are shitting on the decision and guys that didn't want to get stuck in a Chinese quarantine camp when they've already been dealing with positive tests and not even being sick.

I feel bad for these players but at the same time they just laid down and accepted the BLM social justice horse shit all over their league. We knew back then by making hockey not about hockey it would branch into other statements and topics du jour. oh well.

Other sports like the NBA and NFL are having similar issues. Note:

The reason for the opt-out, according to league chiefs, was because the spike caused the "regular-season schedule [to be] materially disrupted as a result of increasing Covid cases and a rising number of postponed games."

...and this was the preceding paragraph, which is statistically insane if true, and why I created this thread:

This is despite the league previously reporting a near-100 percent vaccination rate across more than 700 players – with just one player, Tyler Bertuzzi of the Detroit Red Wings, reported to have declined to be vaccinated.

Being a man doesn't make money anymore.

However, many of them have earned enough to live reasonably for the rest of their lives.

That's something very few can boast of, especially when it comes to maintaining important convictions, but sadly they don't care or have irreconcilable scientific delusions.

I'm just waiting to see if the absurdity in results changes anyone's opinion -- it's fairly comical to read places like r/nfl maintaining the façade.

Have they?

How many of those that are retiring early have bought for themselves guns and ammo, food production, and apocalypse shelter?

Wealth is meaningless unless used correctly.

I think many of those idiots you're talking about are in for a rude awakening when their pile of cash becomes worthless.

Can you imagine the sort of prepping you could do on a professional athlete’s salary?

All professional athletes used to be manly men, even Soccer players.

Good, fuck the Olympics, and fuck Peking, too, and every human in that scab.

It's a Blue Flu type situation. They are protesting without actually protesting. They aren't sure they'll get their people back safely, so, no show achoo!

I was thinking that Kung Flu gives a nice cover for a boycott, if Big Hockey feels like they should do so.

If the "vaccine" doesnt stop you from contracting or spreading it, it's not a vaccine.

(Fun fact, they changed the dictionary definition of a vaccine right before the pandemic. Theyve changed it at least twice during the pandemic)

The NFL’s 48 hour game delay is the most meaningless gesture ever. Ridiculous.
