"Man, I love watching McDaddy weave in and out of those Rangers players. He cuts through them like a hot knife in butter. How am I supposed to keep my pants on while watching Oilers games?" - John from Alberta.
@inspirebyliving@LargestAdultSon Sure, you CAN rob a bank too. You CAN do a backflip off the Empire State building.
But you weren't talking about things that are just factually possible. You mentioned "Freedom of speech" and "It's America" which are related to someone's "rights" not just their "possibilities."
@ba_split@OverDrive1050 It isn't out of nowhere. No one was talking thinking about him until his agent brought up how he was mistreated in Toronto once again.
@inspirebyliving@LargestAdultSon Freedom of speech just means the government can't arrest you for your opinions. It doesn't give you the right to cause a scene inside a private business like Bass Pro. They own the property, so they make the rules, and they can absolutely kick you out and ban you for doing that.
@BeansySports@OverDrive1050@HayesTSN They didn't bring him up our of nowhere. His agent went on a podcast complaining about stuff from 11 years ago.
Funny because a lot of the criticism of Marner in the first place is because of his agent. The guy who says "He's gonna play in Zurich instead" if he doesn't get his $
@realpacman12@C_3C_3 In case you're wondering 25 mass shootings in the USA in January 2026.
You may not have heard about many of them because it's basically a daily occurrence.
@realpacman12@C_3C_3 388 mass shootings this year in the USA. (Including 2 more today)

No other developed nation has more than 10 total. If it's not the guns, what's the difference?
@JeffersonsHate@micah_erfan Violent gun crime decreasing in the last 30 years is caused by a lot more factors than a "more guns" correlation.
We know places with more guns tend to have higher rates of gun deaths. That is true if you look at the US vs every other developed countries or within the US itself.
@SgtHest@realpacman12@C_3C_3 I agree we're in very deep. I might not be able to be "fixed" in the short term, but the USA barely makes any efforts to even mitigate it.
@realpacman12@C_3C_3 The only thing that saves lives is proactive measures (less guns like every other developed country), not reactive measures (more guns).
