Talk about Capitals hockey & more! > General Discusion Anything But Hockey
I've lost ALL Respect for DSP. I'm PISSED!
Devise:
Also yeah people as Maaco said nobody said the team wouldn't go. The NHL has historically gone for a while, but so do has other sports champions. This year seems to be a year where very few players on each team want to go. But considering the city, Trumps current push to try to get Russia back into the G7 and conversations/friendlyness with Putin, and we are in DC and all I'd say some of the team goes.
DSP was the only one I heard who wasn't going to go. And since the NFL and the NBA have a lot more non-caucasians that probably plays a role too. DSP will probably be one of only a handful of players on our roster who choose not to go if we do. I don't see why ANY of this is news. So a private citizen doesn't feel like sharing his joy with someone he thinks is a racist. You don't have to agree with him for his actions to be completely fine. He wasn't disrespectful, he wasn't going to show up and kneel in his face, he just didn't want to go. No harm, no foul, move on imo.

I should state too, not trying to trash anyone here in regards to me pointing out some of the patriotism. I have a lot of respect for people here and even though it's apparent I don't completely lean politically the same place as some of you, that wouldn't change my respect levels for the majority of people here who I've had the pleasure to talk to for years now.

Then maybe hockey players shouldn't get political when the visit is about winning a hockey series.

Just a minute here. We are talking one hockey player. The problem started with the Philadelphia Eagles not DSP

I mean, if I was "invited" to the White House, I don't care if Obama or Clinton was president (even though Im pretty sure they take one look at me and assume I was a white racist deplorable) I'd go and enjoy it! That's a once in a lifetime opportunity! Anyway, go, don't go.. Your loss DSP!!

It isn't the White House or the politics. Its Trump himself. They hate him. If it was a couple of players I would blame the players but its the majority of the players. Same thing happened with the NBA. A lot if the players said they wouldnt attend so Trump said that they werent invited. It is pretty obvious that a lot if people have issues with Trump. And this is factual. BTW I dont really hate Trump. I don't like him either. I do think he is an idiot. Like I said the problem isn't the politics the problem is the man himself. And why am I not surprised you are in love with him.

Actually, YOU don't get it. You should stick to what's going on in Canada, there is cause for concern.
