I'm not saying it wasn't offensive--it was. I'm explaining that the reason for the removal is not the offensiveness.

It has been removed, not because it is offensive, but because it has nothing to do with politics.

Please do not move trash that has nothing to do with politics into the politics club. It is not your dumping ground.

No problems with Chrome on PC. Lots of problems with Safari on iPhone. Maybe it's the device and not the browser.

This is about right, too.

Not a-tall.

Thank you. Well, the same warning probably belongs in both. Maybe I'll merge them.

This is about right.

This was deleted accidentally by forces not within my control: Until and unless @LTSreturns or until I am removed, which I acknowledge as a possibility, these are the guidelines going forward, adopted somewhat from the NFL subreddit: 1. This is a hockey board. We have a politics club associated with it, but it is fundamentally a hockey board. If you are participating in this club, you should also be participating in discussion about hockey. Yes, I realize that as of this writing (August 27), there is little hockey to discuss. 2. This club has resisted disinformation in the past, and will continue to do so. Accordingly, posts which cast doubt as to the reality of COVID will be deleted. Posts which attempt to downplay the pandemic, or which undermine widespread agreement among the scientific and medical communities about the efficacy of vaccines in preventing death and the spread of COVID-19 will be deleted. Posts which can be interpreted as having the potential to delay someone from receiving the vaccine for any reason other than concern about side effects that we don't know about yet, will be deleted. Posts which suggest that a person can be protected from the virus by ingesting a substance not intended for that purpose, such as HCQ or Invermectin, will be deleted. All of these pose a threat to human life, and all but the potential existence of side effects have been conclusively refuted by scientific and medical communities worldwide. Therefore, all of these theories are banned except for the potential existence of side effects. 3. While statements by NHL personalities (e.g., tweets) are allowed in certain circumstances, this doesn't mean carte blanche for posters to spread politicial, scientific or medical mistruths within the comments regarding those statements. 4. Repeat offenders will be banned from the club. In other words, this IS the warning. Examples of acceptable posts: --How the virus has affected you personally. --Infection/death rates among/between states, countries, etc. --Your reasons for receiving or not receiving the vaccine, subject to rule 3 above). --Complaining about mask mandates. --Complaining about vaccine mandates. Etc. There is a wide range of acceptable dialogue. COVID denial or denial of the efficacy of vaccines is not within that range.

Hell no; he'd start a rebellion.

Let's face it, it's going to be all over ESPN just like "odd man rush" and "donnybrook" were in the late 90s / early 2000s.

I know several bars and restaurants in Buffalo that are gearing up for another phase of limited service, barriers at the bar and between tables, etc. (And we wonder why food service workers didn't rush back to their jobs!)

It seems dumb because it is dumb.

I don't really have a problem with it but I do wonder whether 60K is enough seats. As far as the price tag, that's what a stadium costs now. If we wanted a cheaper one, we could have built it 20 years ago. I think it was smarter to wait, though, and we now have squeezed every drop out of Rich. Time for a new one.

Liger's math is good. GA neglected to factor in the mob and politician payouts.

That's the one.

The Delaware North building took a couple of years, and it's considerably smaller than a stadium. Prices will be higher, but I don't think they'll be jaw-dropping. And since I'm sick of idiots using the vomitories at the stadium as if that word meant "a place to vomit," I'm fine with pricing them out.

Is 60,000 seats enough? That would be the smallest in the league. I know the trend is to go smaller, but that's REALLY small.

Best headline I've seen so far: "Belichick ditches his Newton for a Mac." Yeah, I've seen a bunch of Bishop Sycamore references, too.

I did NOT see that coming. Holy cow.

Thank you for the tag.

There has been some really good stuff on NBC. The Mets need a transformation, not baseball.

Act like a grownup or be gone. At no point did I say I would ban anyone for discussing theories of origin. Again, act like a grownup or be gone. I'm not freeman. I'm not going to allow you to spam a decent thread with a bunch of nonsense just to derail it and get it off of the front page.

You know "nil" has only one L, right?

The change of agent can only be a good thing. Some change is needed to break the stalemate.
