I will ignore the last part because it is undeserving of comment, but I will say that there are bad people assorted with every movement, in every group of people.

BUT there are no good people who are white supremacists.

The simple indisputable fact of the Charlottesville situation is that not everyone who was there on either side of the argument was a white supremacist. That has been debunked completely. There is nothing you can do about that other than to keep clinging to your fairy land make believe narratives.

Not to mention Trump has said there is no place for racism or bigotry in America and He has also said black lives matter but noooo orange man bad meanwhile creepy joe is telling Black people they ain’t black and also telling them they all think the same while picking a POC VP candidate to try and pander for votes.

Yes, none of the people marching against the white supremacist were White supremacist. I don't think that needed to be debunked...

Or were you trying to say not everyone marching with the white supremacists were white supremacists?

Luckily Trump wasn't pandering when he picked Mike Pence to be his VP to the Evangelical crowd. Which seems a tad more pandering considering Trump's completely unreligious lifestyle.

Joe was actually working in the white house with a POC before. Trumps most religious act was either: A) yelling 'Oh God' while sleeping with a porn star while married to the first lady or B) Tear Gassing his way to a photo op in front of a church during the DC protests.

Just saying.

I agree with you 99% James, the only thing I disagree about is that I do think Trump supporters are horrible people. Thanks for the post.

Why don't the athletes donate their salaries so minorities can also skip work, instead of my.tax dollars going to extra unemployment benefits.

How many people making these editorials on LE have the slightest clue of what work is involved or even the legal implications? Clearly few. Particularly James Tanner. Maybe consider reviewing use of force before commenting on a topic. Moreover, the country is dividing into those for order and those for chaos. I don't think those on the side of chaos really will enjoy the outcome.

yet this is never the focal point? please tell me why?

I can only speculate that it doesn’t fit the agenda. Same reason why black against black killings aren’t newsworthy. Those black lives certainly don’t matter. Every weekend in Chicago, dozens are murdered in black on black crimes but no protests. It’s like a ship has a gun hole on one side but a torpedo on the other and the side with the gunshot receives the attention.

James. I’ll miss you if you go. I don’t wanna grind my teeth all night by reading most of the comments section. I will state one thing though. There were good people on both sides that day. And a few very bad people. Trumps failure to specify that lent him to be taken out of context. What drives me crazy about that is you don’t have to take that nincompoop out of context. It only lends more fuel to the dummies.

It's fine to post the opinion that the NHL should take some kind of action. Reasonable people agree.

All the other emotional venting and finger-pointing is just incredibly unprofessional. Use your platform to make a point very briefly and then the other 99% of the time focus on making yourself feel better? The ironic thing is, why do I get the feeling that if James were in power he'd be a worse totalitarian nightmare than he imagines Trump to be....

This is one of those defining moments in history. Everyone is on one side or the other. Anyone who says "not the time and place" and "I don't want to hear it" has chosen the status quo. Systemic racism. Enforced inequality. Violent means to maintain that. PERIOD. My desire to see a hockey game is NOT more important than millions of black people's right to drive to work or the grocery store without fear of being killed every time they see a police car. Your/Eklund's desire to be distracted with a game is NOT more important than gerrymandering, racial violence, enforced poverty, reduced access to education, healthcare, and voting. PERIOD.

Good for you James being one of the few(it seems) who'll put what's right before what's easy and what needs to be said ahead of what'll get you a pat on the back from the masses who just want convenience and entertainment.

Killed Osama Bin Laden and saved our economy the great recession, so yeah job well done... Although you probably loved Osama since it gave the government the right to take away our civil liberties. Which is not to say all people in Pittsburgh are terrorists because that's wrong. But you I'm not so sure about.


Just (frank)ing with you. But really they were the President and Vice President...

Lmao this is not a defining moment. This is a moment of pure ignorance pandering to a Marxist movement because some criminals got shot.

There is no seal team 6. That was a cover story.
