If I could frame a mental picture of a malapropism and sell it in a gallery, it would be McClure at a shiva trying to boil a shirt into gelatin.

When you try to impress Dan Bernstein and you were hitting all your marks that I helpfully boldfaced but then you fall flat on your face right at the end:



"The rendering of garments," what are you, a fucking Daley?

this team may be pretty damn good if they can weather the storm of the opening couple months while everyone gets accumulated.

The last thing Beyonce needs is affirmation from some nebulous group of people. Beyonce is the most influential woman in the entertainment industry. Perhaps beyond that. She’s unbelievably popular and rich. She’s probably the only person who can make the world stop by releasing a new album with no warning, unless Prince or Bowie comes back from the dead (and Bowie’s last album isn’t as good as everyone will have you believe, and I wouldn’t rule out Prince being actually able to accomplish this).

It almost feels demeaning to her, when I hear all this. Yeah, you’ve become perhaps the most accomplished singer/entertainer in history (surpassing my girl Madonna), are the most famous woman in the world arguably, but your career won’t be complete until we bestow this honor upon you? Horseshit. The one thing Beyonce isn’t, I’m fairly confident in saying, is “incomplete.” It has a ring of one of those things that would make us feel better while actually accomplishing jack and shit.

The Grammys doesn’t have its finger one what quality is anymore than my dog does. It has a sense of what’s popular, and how often do we see those things not align? What really should concern us is not whether these performers and musicians get Hollywood’s acclaim, but how many musicians we’re missing out on simply because of how hard it is to be one these days? How many just give the fuck up because you can’t make a living having your song streamed for half a cent every time, if that?

Because I’m fairly sure Beyonce is going to be ok.

McClure is absolutely in a state because a video "resurfaced" (I think he looked it up himself because I don't see HFBoards or r/hockey talking about it) of a 20-year-old Panarin saying he wouldn't fuck a black chick. NOT A GOOD LOOK, for sure, but Russians have even unhealthier attitudes toward black people than Americans do, so you can't really say you're shocked.

During a long, and uncomfortable “Get To Know A Player” segment, a then 20 or 21 year old Panarin is asked “What is something you could never do”, and fires off with zero hesistation “Have sex with a black woman”. The exchange comes at the 7 minute, 15 second mark of the above video, and will require closed captions to be on to get the english translation.

he point isn’t labored upon in the interview, it’s just completely passed over, treated as an off-handed joke. And coming from a then 20 year old, sheltered athelete in a country where there are hardly any black people, it’s easy to see where Panarin thought he was being a clever little ignoramus. Russia is not exactly the most tolerant place for marginalized people, and that was brought to light prior to the Sochi games when even its most beloved son in Pavel Datsyuk bent over backwards to condone his homeland’s governmental policy of oppression of LGBTQ people by passing the buck and saying “I am Orthodox”.

For the league just coming off their “Hockey Is For Everyone” month, this is an astonishingly bad look, and for the Blackhawks, it’s just another mark on a tremendous track record of such things. One could be optimistic about the situation, saying that there is a language barrier here, or that Panarin now knows that such comments are racially heinous after living in one of the most diverse cities in the most diverse country in the world, but no one here has earned any kind of benefit of the doubt. The Organ-I-Zation in particular needs to speak out on this after taking great lengths to reach out to Chicago’s many black and latino communities. But no one should hold their breath on that one. This is the same team, and same family that keeps trotting an bloated, drunk wife-beating Nazi sympathizer out as an ambassador of the team. The same team who last year stood behind an accused rapist. The same team who thought no one would find out about the gross revenge porn antics going on with its farm club. The same team who had one of its players scream an LGBTQ slur on national television. And now they finally hit for the cycle by having a player declare what women of color are a revolting and unfuckable to him. This is also the organization that fired Susanna Collins for bawdy if harmless dick jokes on YouTube, and hung Corey Crawford out to dry in the press for the heinous crime of getting too drunk and falling down on an off night. And it’s one more opportunity to see just how fucked up their priorities are.
Now that this is in the bloodstream it won’t be long until the team and player both have to respond, and the clock is ticking on when it happens, and just how badly the Organ-I-Zation will fuck it up.

Has the SJW team @ the Score picked it up yet? Bad week for Bernstein to be on vacation.

I'm sure Zawaski will be lisping his dissatisfaction any moment now.

Don't know where this thread would be without Douchebag affirming his superiority over some guy who grew up in central Asia.
