  1. But. but, but that was different. He is black and he agrees with our narrative. The fact the other guy is an outstanding gentleman matters not – the mere support of Trump makes you less than scum . At least it is what i have been told .

  2. Bobby Orr , Brett Farve, and Jack Nicklaus are supporting Donald Trump!!! And Global News now decides Athletes shouldn’t have a say! But it was fine for Graham James speaking against Trump!!
    This not Journalism this is Fascist censorship in Canada !!

  3. Brett Favre
    Bobby Orr
    Jack Nicklaus

    I have few famous sport figure autographs but I have these three, Nice to see the old timers like Trump,

    Then again I think of LeBron as being illiterate so don’t care about his “X” on a piece of paper. Plus like Biden he’s paid by the Chinese Communists so F’ him.

    1. Bobby Orr is my all time favorite hockey player. Ditto Jack Nicklaus for golf. I am glad they came out for President Trump. Most likely they would rather have kept their politics personal until all this nonsense by James and others. The two tweets by Globe and Mail show how hypocritical they are.
      Other than Steven Gerrard, my other favorites for different sports are UCLA Bruins who are either dead (Arthur Ashe) or has not been involved with politics (Gail Goodrich for basketball, and someone whom you probably never heard off in football, Bobby Stiles, who won the first Rose Bowl for us as a defensive back.)

  4. Have you ever heath Lebron James speak.
    He sound a lot like sleepey Joe..
    Well, man,I mean come-on man, were gong to win man.I mean man,its terrific man, that Biden is like- leading.I mean man its great.
    James is a dumb as a sack of hammers.

    1. Bobby Orr showed he’s the greatest at something else – a sports political commentator, putting his money where his mouth is.

      Where does Dennis Rodman fit into all this, still trying to figure out how he got Obama into North Korea?
      Seriously, Herschel Walker has been an outstanding spokesman for his community, who supports Donald Trump.
      He cites real reasons such as Trump’s justice reforms, attempts to help black communities, with employment there growing.
      The Biden Bus needs another slogan; Fantasy over Reality. Democrats over Americans. Yet many feel they’ll fall for it.
      How is that possible with Trump’s growth in black and Hispanic communities? Will it translate turnout and thus votes?
      Biden sounds like an angry old man, railing at Trump over covid, inciting fear over a 2nd wave and mask mandates.
      Who wants that? Government employees on full pay? Hmm, bad enough, how about politicians on full pay? Lock them down.
      Then maybe we can finally realize they need us a lot more than we need them.

  5. “Progressives” just don’t get that we can see their two faced, double standard, cognitive dissonance.

  6. Bobby Orr.
    The Sound of Parry echoes across the great Huron.
    Who cares.
    Trump doesn’t need old people celebs like this who no one but old Ontario non voters remember.
    Better that he has the little rappers on side, yo.
    Just sayin, and I have seen Bobby’s cenotaph in the Sound yo. Nice guy, but….today, eh.

    1. Yeah, no one in Boston or the surrounding area, including New Hampshire, knows who the guy is. Bruins fans across the United States? Forget it. Hockey fans in the United States? Not a chance. /s

      1. Transplant from Canada to NH. Bobby Orr is God around these parts. Bruins + hockey very popular. Just sayin.

    2. Stevie tune into reality!!!! Bobby Orr is likely the greatest hockey player to play the game !
      Your comment is dis-respectful!

  7. Bobby Orr was, and still is a leader, The Grope and Fail can continue killing trees for no apparent reason, Parrots reject it for cage liners I’ve heard. I was lucky enough to see him play with the Hawks playing the Canucks way back in 77, he was at the end of his career, only played 3 shifts but commanded the ice and the plays, and the respect of everyone and all the players in the Vancouver Leftiedome that night. This James mutt is a ghetto scum with big hands that can jump but couldn’t spell “cat” if you spotted him the “c” and the “a”. I’ve had enough of the media putting whipped cream on cow pies like “lebron” and selling it to morons. Frankly if those mamas spent as much time and effort raising decent human beings, as they do coming up with dopey names, this would be a better place. But has Ron “PC” McLean weighed in with his spew, on Bobby Orr going against PC Ronnies gods, the TheeBThee’s narrative yet?

    1. Don’t forget that James got a 9-figure contract to bounce a ball and whined incessantly that he was “owned”. For that kind of money, a lot of people would willingly become someone else’s property for the duration.

    2. I remember when Orr started. Back then hockey wasn’t referred to as “ice hockey” yet, or “entertainment”. They wore their battle scars on their faces, too. My hockey heroes were Stan Makita, Bob Pulford, or the Road Runner, or Gordie Howe. You could do standing room only at the Forum in Montreal for $3, not what you pay for today.

  8. I wonder if anything can break the cognitive dissonance that infects these progressives? A co-worker commented to me today that “we’re so lucky we don’t have an election like the US. Our leader is in his forties, and that’s so much better than deciding between 70 year olds. It’s obvious that Biden has dementia, and Trump has been unstable for years.”

    I asked him if he was on drugs. US economic growth at 33% (monthly rate, it same rate could last a year), ours is under 5% by the same metric. Not the mention the mental state (or lack thereof) of our leader and how he seems to be trying to shut down our business, and I asked if he wanted to move on to economic policy. He didn’t, but he did express an interest in where I get my news, because I corrected a couple of his straw-men.

    See folks, trying to explain things to TimG can be good practice for open-minded folks who don’t start off agreeing with you.

    1. Reliably enjoyable to observe the reaction that POTUS DJT has been nominated 5 times for the Nobel Peace Prize – 4 in 2020, 1 for 2021- for a growing constellation of inconvenient reasons (not that one would necessarily want to receive it, but the ‘Prize’ does tend to get Regressives titillated), and the reasons as Al Gourdo opined, are an ‘inconvenient truth’.
      Then one moves on to the greatest ProLife POTUS since RvW, the greatest economy, jobs, AND manufacturing jobs, military rejuvenation including the relative rebirth of NATO now all participating parasites finally reach 2% of their GDP requirement.
      Most Regressives are pond skaters with the attention span of a CNN sound bite.
      Very easy to dismantle.

        1. I always thought pond skater meant “someone who learned to skate on a frozen pond instead of a rink”, which would mean rural or town < 250 people. That doesn't fit with the above though.

          I was always taught that that bug is a water strider, they are light enough and have enough surface tension on their widely-spread legs that they don't break the surface of the water, but walk on it.

  9. No memory or consistency; except remembering to regurgitate their leftie bull crap.
    This paper didn’t need a share of the 600 million in bail out money; they needed to shut their doors and give it up. Pathetic.

    1. You ingrate.
      You should be more thankful for the privilege of subsidizing the richest man in Canada and his agenda, which surely has your best interests at heart, along with the Laurention Liberal Party’s Government’s.

  10. I wasn’t at this game in particular but saw these players play during that era. Bobby Orr was a super player. Glad I saw him do his thing.
    Fans, remember this…

  11. In one of John Feinstein’s golf books, A Good Walk Spoiled maybe, one golfer relates why he and so many on the various tours are conservative. The great majority of pros are scratching out a meagre living, living out of their cars hoping to qualify on a Monday or Tuesday for the upcoming week’s tourney in Lickspittle, Alabama or someplace. They fail to qualify and it’s another week of scrambling. They bust their butt to earn their paycheque and the government damn well better keep their hands off.
    On a lighter note, a true Brush With Greatness tale about Number 4…
    One night before an OHL game, Bobby Orr comes into the media room to grab a coffee. The official scorer stands up and announces, “ Gentlemen, please welcome the greatest defenceman who ever played the game…”
    Bobby turns and smiles as the official scorer continues.
    “…Brad Park.”
    Bobby tells him to eff off and stomps out of the room.

    1. Canada’s Mad Media Mullahs are at it again!
      Like their ideological brethren, the Mad Middle East Mullahs,they hit the streets with their beating sticks, bopping the blasphemers.
      Maybe some poor Toronto resident can let us know if the Media is still doing it figuratively or are actually hitting the streets there. They do seem pretty angry at White Canadians at the CBC, the Star and the Globe.

      The NHL, along with virtue signaler par excellence, Sportsnet, are treading a nauseating familiar line.
      Got their latest pelt yesterday.

      An 18 year old Arizona 4th round pick was released after it emerged that he taunted a black, disabled kid, ending when he was all of 13.
      Not nice. Stupid and very wrong. But career-ending at 13?
      I’m now left wondering if I should inform on my childhood next door neighbor, currently a law professor whom I pretty sure I remember using the n-word when he was 6.
      Not sure I want him to lose his livelihood. He has kids. And I’m kidding big time.
      Wish I had a MeToo support group like the NHL Diversity Alliance to help me decide the right thing and prosecute.
      “The Hockey Diversity Alliance announced Wednesday that it will “operate separate and independent of the NHL” after months of negotiations with the league.”
      NHL had 6897 players all time. 95 black.
      It appears that the NHL has adopted the Liberal Government and their Media’s campaign of fix past racism against blacks by systemic acceptable government racism against Whitey. Plus pay back when available. Kind of like men and family court.
      Have to get on the bus.
      The back of course.

    1. It is sad.
      But I guess they need the help. Trump has gone from 60% chance of winning NH in march to 2% now. And he is visiting Tuesday.
      https://projects.economist.com/us-2020-forecast/president/new-hampshire

      But Orr has no real popular presence in New Hampshire: he had to take out an ad and the newspaper’s twitter account doesn’t even mention it.
      Back in Boston, there is some comment in hockey circles, but Trump is 40 points behind Biden there.
      So there’s no political effect. Only among Canadian hockey nostalgics is his Trumpist ad getting any notice.

      This is the final comments of a Montreal journo.
      After talking about his Orr posters as a kid etc etc he ends:

      ” I’ve been around pro sports as a journalist long enough to know that sometimes the less fans know about their heroes away from the field or arena, the better off they are. But this one did hurt.
      I’ll still make the argument that Bobby Orr was the greatest hockey player ever, but I’ll sadly scratch him off my hero list.
      The stain of Trump just won’t wash away. ”

      1. There is probably a triple closet exit here. I suspect Stu is a masker, a touch commie, and maybe a ‘mo….Snowflakes give off an odor like that.

  12. The Grope and Fail;
    “If we didn’t have double standards, we wouldn’t have any standards at all”

  13. Proudly cancelled my Globe subscription a month ago. One more deranged opnion piece that Trump is a new Hitler who will blow up the world did it. Also the discussion boards show how stupid most of G&M readers are. Odi profanum vulgus et arceo.

  14. Boooooooorrrrrrrring.

    You are surprised and shocked at this? Subsidized media is the enemy.
    STOP. LINKING. TO. THEM.

    Kill the media by ignoring them. Unsubscribe. Kill your cable. Do not link to them. Do not read or watch them.

    Do not give lame excuses like, “oh, we need to keep an eye on the enemy.”. That’s a sign that you are weak and or addicted.

    Give your money to free independent media.

  15. Saturday night in wintery Canada.
    Can you imagine a non covid, non sportsnet caving in, episode of “Coach’s Corner”, that would have been on tonight?
    Grapes would have been on fire, in a good way, tonight.
