Why Hockey Should Give Palin a Pass

I wish I could understand your point.



Here's what happened in Philly (my home). A rabid supporter of the neocons, Ed Snider, owns the Flyers. We give him a pass on that and buy tickets, merchandise, and support the team enthusiastically.



Ed got himself a thought. That was to help promote the neocon court by putting the palin out there on the ice for a photo-op - an effort to help their campaign. His arrogance - and the arrogance of the mccain campaign - decided, apparently, that the Flyers fan demographics leaned in their favor. At least leaned enough to avoid embarrassment. Well, they were off a bit.



If you support the idea of separating politics from hockey, then you should be calling Snider on the carpet for his deliberate promotion of a viciously divisive, dishonest, and deplorable campaign. This was his decision. The palin could have declined, too. So how about naming names?



You generically call out to "politicians." But I know of only one pair of politicians who debased the sport during this election season. This isn't about "the politicians." This is about the swine in the mccain campaign and one of their supporters. Call them out specifically and don't imply that others are on (or near) the same rung on the ladder of immorality. Or add their names, too....
