Yes, there are black NHL players...

Too bad that they are relegated (except for a few) to being their team's designated goons. Not to say this isn't a fantastic hockey fight. Plus Donald Brashear of the Caps wins.

Grant Fuhr, Fred Braithwaite, Kevin Weekes and Ray Emery are offended by your assertion that black players are only goons.

I believe my statement was qualified. I believe my statement was more that it is sad that they biggest publicity that black hockey players get for being black is when they get into a fight.

"How long have you been a black quarterback?"

I doubt black hockey players want publicity "for being black".

Jeremy said...

Well with the current status of the NHL in this country, I would think they'd be glad for publicity for any reason they could get.

The only publicity hockey gets is for fights, white or black.

Also, your statement was not qualified. You said they are the goons, not only covered as such.

Sorry, you are clearly a racist. Why don't you get a Wet-Vac out of the truck to clean up the flood, while you're at it?

J-Red said...

Ben, careful with the term "Wet-Vac". To a Spanish speaker, the V and B sounds are almost indistinguishable.

Unless you're suggesting they can't read the difference between a "V" and a "B" I think I'm safe on this Vlog.

"ben" said...

And my understanding is that your average, everyday English speaker has a hard time with the V and B, too, if the person talking has a mouth full of food.

J-Red said...

So now Hispanics talk with their mouths full? This is patently offensive.

I said "be careful", not "anyone reading 'Wet-Vac' will think 'Wetback'".

Man, Nation of Islam Sportsblog has it easy.

Jason, I'll fill you in on the story that Ben is referencing someday. Let's just say that I horrified a cafeteria of law clerks, judges, and others when talking about how maintenance at my condominium brought in a Wetvac to clean up the sink that had flooded my apartment by saying the word Wetvac repeatedly with a mouthful of food.

J-Red said...

I think you just did fill me in, and I would have been on the floor laughing if I had seen that.
