You can say it’s “just a meme” but just know that your dismissal of the impact of these things reads as dismissal of the safety and concerns of people who have been threatened, often explicitly, by the people who wave that flag.

All of this.

Also Dhoop, you mentioned you like Edmonton's colour scheming - I'm fairly open here about being queer, so sorry to possibly disappoint you if you were hoping to come here but it is important to me that people on the team are okay with that, and when people play into right-wing dogwhistles it muddies the waters a bit. Just giving some perspective.

Shit meme

ok here we go, and sorry if I didnt mention your comments in here I just got off work and had to skim so many posts in a presser with no one really asking questions. I DO NOT TALK POLITICS, you can ask anyone in ANA if you would like. I respect everyones opinions and beliefs. I am not a "white supremacist" or a hater of anyone that's gay, straight, trans, minorites, or anything else. I had a gay grandfather (who recently passed) and I was in the military where some of my closest friends are black, Asian, Puerto Rican, and much more. I hate that this name has apparently garnish such controversy. I am sorry if you took the name in a harsh way, not the intention. I thought the interview and meme was funny. I am republican and I don't care for Biden but as anyone in he military can tell you, you respect the office no matter whos elected. So i am here to clear the air, there is no reason to be put off when it comes to LR talk or potential presence in the LR. I don't bring this stuff up, since this is a SIM HOCKEY league not a political forum. I love this league and can't wait for what's to come. Please message me if you have more concerns. I would like to move this back to answering peoples questions lol. thanks
