John Tortorella, had coach of Team USA at the World Cup of Hockey made it clear that if you don't stand for the anthem, you can sit for the whole game. He's got a son in Special Forces in Afghanistan now, so he's crystal clear on what it means. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings and team USA goalie had a mask with the 'de Opresso Liber' logo painted on it for the tournament. Hockey is old fashioned, and I like it.douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241790925053112959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-21861857145983187462016-09-14T12:21:46.509-04:002016-09-14T12:21:46.509-04:00Stadiums are often public boondoggles.

The Bengals and the Reds just had to attach themselves to the public tit, and the stupid tax payers voted for the levy. <br /><br />They tore down a stadium that was not even payed for to build new stadiums for each sport. It has been decades now since I have gone to a game and I make major purchases outside of Hamilton county as I resent having to pay for a tax that benefits these bozos.<br /><br />You see, in the end, every dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in. Every purchase matters. If you don't like a companies politics, vote em off the island and take your money elsewhere. Keep lists, and have a long memory. <br /><br />I personally hope the SJW ruin their bottom lines. They deserve the fruits that go along with attaching themselves to the public tit. No sympathy here. <br /><br />-Mississippi<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
