"why get political when we can get both political and religious?!?"

[Darkstone42]

Oh hey! I'm a cult member!

 

[NorthCoastSteelersFan]

So most people are cult members...oh, brother.

he has put the team in a tough spot, because if he is reprimanded/fired for taking his stand on this debate, then the Canucks are seen to be on the other side (baby murderers!!). If they do nothing, they are seen to side with him (r*pe-babies for everyone!!).
pretty shitty spot for Donnelly to put them in, unsolicited.

this ... although like i mentioned above ... maybe Aquilini approves

you want your corporate brand to be neutral

simple solution

let David Booth slather molasses all over Donnelly and use him as bear bait ... but only in Alberta

This is well on it's way to a LOCK.

 

[puckhead]

Left-wing celebs get away with imposing their beliefs on everyone...why not this guy?

So Canada's more pro-choice than the U.S.? Not surprised.

Don't like the trucks? Don't wanna see what you're supporting? Look the other way...it's what lots of Germans did about 70 yrs ago.

you are missing the point. no one gives a shit what he thinks. or no one should, anyways.
but....... he holds himself out as representing a hockey club


left (or right) wing celebrities are essentially free agents.
if you've got one celeb who is the face of a long-running franchise, then there may be similar backlash. or at least polarized support. a sports team does not want to offend a portion of it's public.

nice use of Godwin's law though

Why should there be a lock? The conversation has remained civil, though not everyone agrees.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

I, as well, am a cult member!

 

[pixburgher66]

Civil now, sure. But calling religious people cult members is *slightly* offensive. Though, I suppose I'll embrace that. Jesus is awesome.

Where did we put the black robes and fire-starting implements?

 

[blindbaby]

I was a cult member for a while at one time too, years ago. And I don't mean to infer anyone's an idiot for that; just misguided.

Yeah, but see, we "cult members" usually don't react to badly to that type of thing.

Did you go to any of our cult rallies this year in Pitt?

ZOLTANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

So, are you an atheist, then?

Didn't get to that one while I was home...really wanted to get to it though.

More of an agnostic.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

More of an agnostic.

OK, well why dismiss anyone then. If you are an agnostic, i don't see how you can really refer to anyone as "misguided."

Why not? I'm sure most of you think I'm misguided for my beliefs (or lack thereof) and personally, I have no problem with that.

 

[Darkstone42]

Isn't the solution obvious from the Canucks' perspective?

"We will not fire Mr. Donnelly for his actions, since we, as an organization, are neutral on the subject and will take no action to either commend or reprimand his actions in supporting his beliefs."

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Why not? I'm sure most of you think I'm misguided for my beliefs (or lack thereof) and personally, I have no problem with that.

Not really. I don't judge other people. Calling people who believe in God, cult members is pretty judgmental though.
