GARTH: Crosby and Weber Speak Out Against Russian Anti-Gay Stance

At the risk of suffering the same fate, GrayEyeGlances got banned in the main Ek thread for posting the Yost story link. Great job, Ek/Hackers. It's already on Yahoo Sports and SB Nation. You're just making the situation even worse by your idiocy. Remember this message after I'm banned for a month. It's been great knowin' ya, guys.

Foist, btw.

GARTH: Crosby and Weber Speak Out Against Russian Anti-Gay Stance: The face of the NHL flipped his proverbial middle finger at Russia on Sunday.

The only people who got the middle finger in this case, if anyone, was anyone involved with gay rights. Crosby and Weber essentially said "We want to make politically correct comments, but to us hockey is more important than the rights of gay people, so leave us alone and stop asking"

They didn't say anything earth-shattering at all. Essentially, they're saying what we already knew: that Americans and Canadians were brought up in a completely different culture. And you know what? The Russians don't care, and never have.

I hope you do get banned, just so Yost and this Ukrainian hacker crap can go away and everyone can stop pretending to care and join the rest of us who find this amusing.

What did I miss?

Very few of us actually care.

That's great, but getting shut down like we are is a pretty BS thing. Banning on absolutely no basis is ridiculous, regardless of the whole Yost situation.

Nice edit, btw. Thanks.

"we"?

Im not getting shut down.

Fine, I guess I should've changed it to "the people in Ek's chat that are specifically talking about the Yost situation and are in no way systemtool at all, ever".

You get what I meant.

Then stop talking about it. Who gives a (frank) if some dude you never met and are not related to is having his hockey blogs deleted. Who cares. This Ukrainian hired mafia doing Melnyks dirty work is just retarded. Get over it man. Its just a sports website, you'll live.

Follow your own advice. If you don't like me talking about it, shut the hell up and ignore it.

Who gives a (frank) if some dude you never met and are not related to is posting about uncalled for bannings? Who cares?

Let me guess... It doesn't work that way since you're all high and mighty, right?

It would make the biggest stance if Crosby boycotted the Olympics in Russia.

Athletes can talk all they want but them going and towing the party line really doesn't accomplish anything.

My point is that you're clearly taking this personal and making it your mission to "fight back" or whatever the (frank) it is you're doing.

Yes I am high and mighty. Bow and silence your whining drivel.

You're trying to get peoples attention and trying to make them care, judging by your comments and efforts. Let it go. Get over it, and always remember, you're not me because you're not good enough to be.

I'm not trying to fight back against anything, buddy. For the people that give a poop (clearly not you) it's of interest to them. Like I said, ignore it if you don't like it. Hell, flag my posts if you want. Replying and creating an argument doesn't do jack poop in terms of getting people to stop talking about the Yost situation. You might as well try to put out a fire by yelling at it.

They won't boycott unless their entire country boycotts. It wouldn't be the first time that happened to the Olympics played in Russia. And it wouldn't be the first time the Russians shrugged their shoulders.

You're coming across as pathetic. Angry because Yost can't send you nudes or something?

This thread is about another topic altogether. There is no need or reason for you to come to a thread that is Crosby/Olympics/Hockey related and talk about Yost, Russians and Internet hacking. You're doing enough of it in Eks main thread, keep it and leave it there.

You came here whining and crying about Yost, now you're trying to act like the internets version of Sammy Sosa because people don't care about you or this stupid hacking story.

Then. (frank)ing. Ignore. It.

Like I said only a few minutes ago, you arguing over this does absolutely NOTHING to help your case against people's comments. If something bothers you, do something to make it not bother you anymore. Flag me, run to a ref, or maybe even (frank)ing ignore me. You turning this into a pissing match doesn't stop ANYTHING.

if he boycotted it, it would make a little bit of a stance in canada and russia, but from a global standpoint it would be a tiny blimp on the radar
