Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

“Kyle Connor, Jake Guentzel, Jackson LaCombe, Brock Nelson, Jake Oettinger are the five who aren't going,” The Athletic's Sean Gentile reported on Tuesday.

At least five members have some integrity. The other twenty are fucking trash humans.

I appreciate these 5 but it is enraging the team is going and they all suck fascist dick.

This isn't surprising at all to anybody who has spent time around hockey players. The percentage of right-wing douchebaggery (not to mention rape culture, etc) is off the charts.

[–] HorikBrun@kbin.earth 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I always like watching the sport, but hockey players are all just frat boys, and it shows.

[–] mracton@piefed.social 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I’ve never been into it, but at this point I want to see if PWHL games are near me or at least stream them somewhere. The women could use all the support.

[–] HorikBrun@kbin.earth 8 points 2 weeks ago

I love watching PWHL games. So much fun.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

I believe that all PWHL games are posted to YouTube by the league.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

True. I mean I love hockey being a minority but holy hell some of the fucked up racist shit I've had to deal with while attending games.

And there's some data to back up why now.

Sports you spelled sports incorrectly be brave it isn't just hockey.

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Moreso (men's) hockey than other sports though. https://votehub.com/2026/01/20/the-political-lean-of-pro-sports/

It doesn't have stats for PWHL, so I cannot comment one way or the other.

[–] Pricklesthemagicfish@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Edit see nightmare bros post ty!

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I disagree with you. Look at the nfl you got guys literally beating and killings gf and wives. Dont forget good old zionist lebron and honorable kobe cheating on his wife fucking chicks in the ass. You got pen state coaches raping kids in the shower. Its all sports.

I re-phrased the start of this on your behalf so that your comment would be in compliance with Rule 1. No need to thank me.

remember the dude that pushed a girl down the stairs, he was callous and"moved to another school to play hockey"

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

I remember that. :/

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 22 points 2 weeks ago

If I were those guys, I'd head over to Flavor Flav's soiree for the Women's team. It's going to be more lit that that dumb State of the Union.

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Well old Patel showed up to I'm assuming 'encourage' them to go, so they're probably all afraid for their families at this point.

-- edit


Oorrr they're pieces of shit, apparently.

[–] Tm12@lemmy.ca 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No need to give rich white boys benefit of the doubt. The Tkatchuks are open in their Trump revelry.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, they all look pretty happy to be there in the pics.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

“We’re giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. I could send a military plane or something, if you would like to, it’s the coolest night. It’s the biggest speech,” Trump said on speaker phone in the locker room to cheers and eager replies of “we’re in”.

[–] paper_moon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Ahhh, I see

[–] Akh@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They will get 15 mins of fame owning the libs, then wonder why their whole life falls apart and nobody gets them deals except shitty my pillow gigs

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

they will probably start pivoting shilling to right wing pundits, speaking engagement, how the left, woke,,,,etc is obsessed with cancel culture.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 weeks ago

After Gretzky shows them how Donald likes it done.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

guess a large percentage of men hockey players are conservatives and in sports too.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I’d show up and act like this lady

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

"President of scum, of putrid!"

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Slime*, Putrescence*

Edit: Sorry. I can quote that scene in particular, as well as several other scenes in TPB.

"Bow down to her if you want,

The Queen of Slime,

The Queen of Filth,

The Queen of Putrescence!

Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boooooo!"

Honestly, 'Tis a rather silly movie, but I still love it.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Better than none.

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

I professionally would not want to meet one of Epstiens long time friends and potential clients.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Calling it now ... KFC will get a standing ovation and Helly will get booed at the next Jets home game.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Kyle Conner, or Kentucky Fried Chicken? I mean it seems that either one would be possible these days.

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He's unofficially known as Kyle Fucking Connor, aka KFC.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Kk. Thanks!

I'm super proud the Finnish women's team declined the invitation.
