Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

I agree, If this happens in the CFL and NHL I’m done with both.
Follow the money. In stead of booing vote with your feet. Get up and walk out AND demand your money back. Nothing works on these A Holes like loss of money.
A CFL team’s players already did in ‘solidarity’ with the NFL players against the evil Trump and not in favour of BLM killing cops presumably; and Joel Ward, a black NHL player from North York, says he’s going to do it. (Don’t know his team; stopped watching it all after the Leafs blew it in Game 7 versus Boston lo those many years ago.)

voting with your wallet…
lone steeler appears and stands for national anthem… what happens next?
“A spokesman for the NFL’s online store, confirmed to ESPN that,
over the past 24 hours, more Villanueva gear, including jerseys
and name and number T-shirts, has been ordered than that of any
other NFL player.”

Riders already did it Mike
Just like CNN and ESPN, the only way to properly punish the NFL for it’s SJW agenda is to cancel cable packages that include them. As some here pointed out, this BS has already spread to other sports. Leftards are just too committed to stupidity for these displays to end anytime soon. The owners themselves are cowards who are probably too in fear of a “blacklash” to stop their employees from openly spitting in their customers’ faces.
I surely hope the proposed US bill to ban taxpayer money from funding these billionaire’s stadiums finds some traction.
This is a culture WAR, and like all wars it requires sacrifice to become victor. There are so many better things to do with a Sunday or Monday night. I hope tens of millions of NFL fans tune out and discover there are far more enriching ways to invest their leasure time. Myself, I gave up watching obscenely rich and pampered athletes play children’s games many years ago.
I don’t care anymore…. for a loooong time now.
Joel Ward who plays for the San Jose sharks has been quoted as saying he would consider taking a knee during the anthem,he’s Canadian by the way.
Through three weeks, viewership for national telecasts of NFL games is down 11 percent this season compared to 2016, the Nielsen company said on Tuesday.
http://www.breitbart.com/news/nielsen-football-ratings-off-11-percent-this-year/
IMO, these idiot owners along with NFL management are overseeing the destruction of their own business and deserve to lose their franchises.
The burning of the Flag & disrespect of the anthem is the Hallmark of Communists… The hate of America by these privileged bastards goes beyond reason.. Boycott be dammed, Fans should physically take over the Field and deny the NFL Communists the venue..
Both teams that took the Knee in London (sign of Communism) must be denied any role in America.. The NFL must fire everyone involved in this Anti- American political agenda.. This was a planned & coordinated Social Engineering take over of the NFL…It goes back >5 years (2011) to the player strike (Brady & NFLPA ) when the Anti-Trust issue was bridged & MAPF got their hooks into the NFL….Fake medical diagnosis of concussion impacts & spousal abuse rules….unlimited control
ABC-ESPN/NBC slime sportscasters push some hideous agendas…The treatment of Olympian “Carl Lewis” was not racial but he was considered too selfish (didn’t try to break long Jump record) for Corp Sponsorship after winning 4 gold metals…The dislike of Carl Lewis was embedded into the Olympic FAKE sport experts, they cheered in the Control Room when he lost 100 M in 1988 to Ben Johnson.. Ben Johnson was striped of Gold for Drugs & Carl awarded the gold.. Nothing these-Low-life Sports experts say or think has any meaning except to themselves..
Carl Lewis was screwed by useless sportscasters
That is my rant,
Overpaid fat heads who think the World revolves around them need a reality check. When sports people and Hollywood types decide to go political they become losers.
Bread and Circuses made it possible to ignore the diseased body-politic until the politics got so poisonous that it started to affect the circus.
*Boo-frickin’-Hoo*
May as well just find another circus to distract until the disease affects the bread too.
I almost wished that I waste my time watching professional sports, so that I can boycott it over this BS as well.
It would be great to see the US & Canada’s male population get off their fat ass’s and try to do something productive with their lives. The bonus is putting the “games” back into the hands of everyday people instead of the overpaid illiterates that stick their own asses in your face while laughing and mocking you for your support.
If the owners don’t have the cojones or rational self interest to persuade the offending players that their “style of protest” offend many of their customers than they deserve to be responsible for the loss of business and perhaps going out of business. I would rather watch paint dry than Football although I used to enjoy playing it as a kid.
I USED to be an NFL fan. Used to be. As a boy, I worshipped the game and the players. I literally wept watching NFL Films productions and listening to Ed Sabel’s dulcet voice saying things like “… the autumn wind is a Raider”. I loved the NFL; the players, the authenticity, and the “character” of the game. How the game was the perfect sporting symbol of the American ethos; hard work, dedication, teamwork, training, innovation … But somewhere along the way, the game became the perfect sporting symbol of our cultural decay. The most notable being income inequality, and profiteering at all cost. The rap-culture hijacked the game as it’s player became 75% “urban”. The game passed me by. Yeah, I guess I am just an old “white” dude with outmoded morals. So I cannot claim a boycott of the game … I stopped caring some time ago.
And … if … any “black” football player has a reason for taking a knee … it is a COLLEGE football player. You want to talk about blaxploitation? Look no further than NCAA football where the players are exploited by a $ Billion dollar industry in exchange for Room, Board, and a scholarship for their “Mass media” degrees. That is … IF … they actually graduate, as a huge number do not. And if a scholarship player gets injured ? Goodbye scholarship. The NCAA has hidden behind the myth of the “student athlete” as the games obscene PROFITS $$$ flowed into the pockets of Marxist college administrators. Black college football and basketball players are ABUSED and USED by leftist colleges. Leftist colleges who lecture, teach, and preach AGAINST the very thing they do … treat their players like SLAVES. The black (and white, Asian, Pacific Islander, etc.) players have a LEGITIMATE grievance against the leftist college administration and the NCAA. They should STRIKE for their “fair share” of the $$$$$ Billion dollar industry … that THEY and exclusively THEY create. It is obscene to make their employees walk around with NO $$$ in their pockets … forced to only eat the food of the “company store”. Shame on the leftist NCAA. Shame.
Democrats have unwittingly exposed themselves for who they really are. They used to run as moderates who love America and rule like communist insurrectionists but the gig is up now. Trump is the master at baiting them into exposing themselves.
I’ve never understood why someone hasn’t started a professional league of 18 to 22 year old players, like junior hockey in Canada, only with pay cheques. They could even require college attendance.
So…can they make 10 million a year selling drugs in the hood? Ain’t any brain surgeons in the NFL that I know of. Also selling drugs isn’t part time.

the roundball guys get in on the social justice action…
San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich stated on ESPN2 Monday that
“white people have to be made to feel uncomfortable.”
Perhaps Popovich, the highest paid coach in the NBA, at $11 million per
season should try coaching for a year or two in the Zimbabwean Basketball
Association.
That might just fit the bill.

… I still give much credit to ex-president Bannon.
If my Riders pull that stunt again, we are quits forever and my fan stuff gets burnt.
There are, correction….were, some things that were supposed to be kind of special and a source of sanity along with some pure entertainment. But nooo…that was asking too much I guess. I am beginning to feel very old.
Like some mentioned above, the NHL is getting in on the act.
I guess that’s it for me WRT pro Hockey, other than the Spengler Cup at Christmas.
“Follow the money. In stead of booing vote with your feet. Get up and walk out AND demand your money back. Nothing works on these A Holes like loss of money.”
Dead on, Tony. And not that I’m any kind of an NFL fan, but I’ve already emailed GM and Ford to tell them that, as far as this old cowboy is concerned, they’ll be wasting their NFL advertising dollars – because I sure as hell will never watch another NFL game as long as I live. And when I get the time, Dodge and the beer companies will get the same message.
Email the NHL and let them know how you feel about them allowing protests: customersupport@web.nhl.com
I will stop watching them on TV, and I will stop buying tickets for the occasional NHL game every year. Politics don’t belong in sports.
Now Ryan Reaves Of the Pittsburgh Penguins has gotten in on the act.I was hoping that the NHL was going to be immune to these protests but sadly that is not the case.
The only pro sports team I watched was the BILLS.
I predict this year will be my best ice fishing year ever!
Fuck em!
If my Riders pull that stunt again, we are quits forever and my fan stuff gets burnt.
So much wrong there. They’re not “your” Riders. They’re a team of paid employees who happen to wear green and white. Back away from the hero/idol worship and grow up.
Secondly, why wait for a second time? Just walk away, leaving your swag in your wake. Oh, right, because they’re “your” Riders.
If the Team owners don’t pull their PC coiffed heads out of their butts it will cost them dearly. It’s the non-progressives that for the most part care and support mainstream pro-sports. If they lose that audience they might as well cash in their chips and build wind farms before all the hot air escapes from between their cheeks.
If there is a backlash, of any consequence, it may be experienced at the local affiliate level more than the national level. Chicago radio was reporting that local advertisers are jittery. Don’t know if it is true or not.
Wow, lots of butthurt over simple kneeling. Here’s an idea: stop playing the anthem before games and almost any other time for that matter. Less jingoism please.

as Germany Benz dumped on Fox O’Reilly….
NFL could be found in violation of Anti-Trust and ALL operations voided by Congress… Especially the National Broadcast Rights, lots of Sportscasters out of work..ESPN gone
The opposite is happening there Popovich you idiot! How many white people he walks by are conceal carrying and even open carrying in some cases. He is the one feeling uncomfortable, not any white guys I know.
Was never a big football fan. On last sunday during the games I was at the range running bill drills while tuning up my splits and draw.
During the Monday nighter, same thing at the indoor range.
Get out there and do stuff instead watching those ghetto thugs beat each others brains out. Same goes for any hockey or baseball clowns.
Just today a lineman for the LA Rams was stopped by police for a traffic infraction. He had a stolen loaded hi cap handgun in his glove compartment and it fell out when he went for his ins/ownership.
This genius makes $1.5 mil a year. Now he is looking at some felony time/no vote. I’m not uncomfortable, I’m encouraged!
In my mind when Ben crossed the finish line looking across the track at Carl, Ben said to himself “See Carl, my steroids are better than yours.”
These leagues and the athletes have pissed down the throats of their fan base many times.
Have any of them not gone on strike? Whenever that happened the fans swore they’d never be back only to return in even greater numbers.
“Whenever that happened the fans swore they’d never be back only to return in even greater numbers.”
Heh. Ain’t that the truth. What did Grouch say about principles?
“Wow, lots of butthurt over simple kneeling.”
Spoken by someone quite familiar with kneeling and butthurt.
The biggest irony of the NFL American Anthem protest is that these lugheads are actually protesting the fact that they are free to protest. I wonder how many of the basketball players that travelled to North Korea with Dennis Rodman to play exhibition contests would openly have given Dear Leader the finger for fear of being fed to the dogs? If there’s some specific cause these privileged boy-men want to draw attention to – then by God they can move the lips that God gave them and speak intelligently. Thumbing their noses at their own national anthem in brilliant 4K UHD view – where the freedoms they enjoy have been paid for in endless blood and sacrifice – is unfathomably stupid and remarkably negligent. There’s many nations with not-so-free people that will use this as an opportunity to denigrate and disparage America. The athletes and coaches that protested played into the hands of their enemies. Brilliant. Not.
