News Article: Colorado Avalanche Media Coverage Part III

[Avs_19]

Annoys me to no end that they keep throwing up better sales than whatever I paid for the year.

I'm still on the promo they had for $3/month so it's still pretty good.

 

[avspatti]

Are you drunk homie?

I've been wondering if somehow Moser knifed Haynes in the back to get the TV gig.

I think I got 40% off. Not to mention, I don't think I've read enough to re-up. We'll see how well they hold up when the first year is done for people.

 

[Hasbro]

Yeah, I already pointed out you are comfortable with double standards. Is there any doubles standard that you find appalling or are you good with all of them?

So Peters wouldn’t have been an ass if it weren’t for rap music?

Damn you Sugar Hill Gang! See the racism you’ve created!

 

[Avs_19]

I think I got 40% off.

They always have deals so there should be another good one when the year expires. The promo I used when I first signed up was from a year old tweet that I believe they sent out for Father's Day. It never expired so it ended up being $3/month.

Oh, hmm. I guess I'll think about it next summer.

I never said Peters wasn’t liable or that what he did was okay. I think it is patronizing to say what he did was wrong but to exclude a giant swath of performers that use that word in their music. I have no qualms with Peters getting canned, I take issue with a writer pandering to people that don’t have the stomach to point out the obvious.

So you can understand I’ll add this:

Peters bad.
Double standard bad.

The Athletic (paywall) The Avs share their favorite memories of Tyson Barrie

:'(

Bring Barrie Back!

You have to understand how and why minority groups, or in general, groups end up owning these derogatory terms. This is not something unique to rap music.

How do you know I am not a minority? This is about to turn hilarious. Careful how you answer.

 

[Hasbro]

I would get behind being scold on the N word should be dropped in that context because it enables racists to justify their use, but they’d just find another pretext.

Oh, I know you're not black from everything you're saying babe.

 

[Foppa2118]

I don't find this kind of tripe compelling as long as rappers use the word repeatedly. And no, you don't get to use words that others aren't allowed to use. It rings hollow when rappers and other celebrities can spout that word with no repercussions and "journalists" won't bother covering that or advocating that what they are doing is despicable as well. Only children and cowards will allow such ridiculous double standards to exist in the first place. Clean up your own backyard.

You're clearly trolling on this subject. Can you at least keep that to hockey and not race?

 

[Spirits]

Jesse Peterson and Larry Elder aren’t black either I take it. This is about the most racially insensitive thing I have read. Now all black people have to think the same? Not all of us think the same, hate to break it to you.

 

[UncleRisto]

And poof.

Not liking what I have to say doesn’t equal trolling. Not my fault mommy and daddy failed you.

 

[Foppa2118]

Your second sentence gives you away.

You're also the same person who posted a thread on the Canucks forum the other day asking if they'd trade Hughes for Makar.

76% off for the fourth of july

 

[Foppberg]

76% off for the fourth of july

Ditto

 

[Avs91]

One thing I don’t like (and this is going to sound ridiculously petty), I don’t like the word ‘pact’ being used for contracts. Just say contract. Saying ‘his 8 year pact’ sounds dumb to me

 

[Ivan13]

You know when you're trying so hard to be edgy, but fail miserably and just make yourself look like a clown?

 

[Ceremony]

And poof.

No need to add homophobia into the mix

 

[UncleRisto]

No need to add homophobia into the mix

Well, that's what I think, I'm just saying what I think. No offense.

I've read a lot of cringeworthy shit on this site, but this may take the cake.

This thread has failed miserably. Kill it.
