No way Canadians will do away with hockey, right? I get it hockey’s racist. Mostly white guys (and a few Uncle Toms) hitting a black puck with a stick.

Certainly not... Hockey will always be with us... But it might be removed from the public school curriculum... Very dangerous..
We used to have the no high sticking rule... And chopping was discouraged... Also, teachers never allowed fights to play out...
But it was relatively safe for kids to play... Might have an occasional accident... Or lose a tooth... Nothing serious...
There's a hockey Club up here... It's pathetic... Decent speed, and good reflexes... But no sense of teamwork... And the contact is ridiculous... (they dive like they're playing soccer)

Memories. We used to just play baseball in the middle of the street. Sewer covers were the various bases. And we all learned to dodge cars while playing. Now I see pussy men coddling there kids and teaching them to play with out pitching. They put the ball on a peg and let the kid swing away. They wimp down America and wonder why everyone wants to hide at home behind a mask and a large bottle of hand sanitizer and peek threw the curtains to see if a big bad bug is marching down the street. And we wonder why?

Back when I played hockey, we were required to wear helmets until we turned 18. Helmets then were uncomfortable and not the best protection. Like most at the time, when I turned 18 the helmet got 'lost'. I was a defense first type of defenseman and loved blocking shots. After they changed the rules and all the younger players had to wear full facemasks in addition to the helmets, the game got more dangerous because nobody was teaching them to keep their sticks down. It cost me a couple of teeth and a number of scars because of the reckless actions of the younger guys in the league.

Welts were badges of honor....

Everything 'fun' is slowly being outlawed these days. I guessing that within a few hundred years of evolving humans will no longer have the ability to smile.

We used to have a great time with these. Now they play cornhole. Which is kinda the lib version of horse shoes
When I was a kid, we had a somewhat different definition of "cornhole."
