And what do you think this act is, hmmmm? Taking the day away from his teammates and making the story all about him and his views. There's your soapbox.
What a dick, but I shouldn't be surprised considering he's a Glen Beck fan. Ye gods.

I don't know, he scheduled an "explanation" on Facebook, that sounds a bit like a soap box.

I'm imagine youre REALLY pissed at the Leafs considering how long they've been an embarrassment to the sport then.
:lol i thought about posting something similar.
Screw you Marvie! Win one Stanley Cup and you walk around as if you're cock of the walk!

You're not good at the being a clever asshole, marvie. Go back to being a loveable dumbass.
The Coyotes make the playoffs at least.

They got lost in his eyes?
Here's the Sestito hit on Horton from Sunday. (3:56 of clip)

Seems to fit all the Shanaban talking points:
High hit.
Vulnerable position.
Injured player. (concussion)
Previous offenses.
No word on hearing as of yet.

Are you saying he should be added to that all sexy team?
Speaking of which was that ever finalized?
Yep.
There have been 'snubs' in the past, but normally the person doesn't give an explanation (Jordan with Bush) or may cover it up with 'schedule conflict' (NASCAR drivers with Obama). Tim Thomas is far from the first athlete invited to the White House to have "opinions", but, so far as I know, he is the first to make his absence explicitly political.
Oh jesus not this
It's just a Twitter comment, so it doesn't matter if you slander a man's family. Especially if they disagree with your political beliefs.
I consider the fact that no one had a clue what his political views were until he was forced to address why he didn't attend the event at the WH not getting on a soap box. I have no problem with him explaining himself, if he was babbling about his views at random and unprovoked, then I would.

Slander his family? The kids didn't pick their names.
It doesn't get much dumber than that.

It's not the same as Marvie'sThe Shitstorm... it begins
Another angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz707r9mEyk&feature=player_detailpage#t=227s
High hit? Concussion? There was zero contact with his head. If Horton is suddenly that sensitive to hits, I'd fear for his future.
Dr. Recchi?
UHHHHHHH
Agreed that it was late and Horton was vulnerable, though. Not sure what the precedent is with hits like that which don't target the head.

Dancing around the question is exactly what Pia Sundhage did even though it was clear to everyone that she as and HBT person and as a person who has spoken pretty supportive of Fidel Castro.
The KKK thing is just stupid. What kind of professional journalist drags in a persons kids when he tries to make the most vague connection ever.
He didn't have to get into all the political bullshit in his reasoning though. There were plenty of other excuses he could have used.
Tim is a member of the family. By association you would have to assume his wife would support his beliefs if he was actually a KKK member. Not quite the stretch Hodgson is making but it works.
But hey, lets invoke his young childrens' names so we can all have some cheap laughs.
Forced to address? Other athletes have skipped in the past without comment or have just given other excuses. And many, many more have just sucked it up and gone out of respect, even when their fans have compelled them to skip (NASCAR drivers invited by Obama).

Way too much political bullshit on this page. Thomas made a decision and then spoke about it. What's there to discuss that is actually relevant?

I love it that you think you have me figured out, and then you don't. Other than that, I could really care less what Thomas thinks, seems like some overreacting on some people's part but whatever, not like it effects me.
This, seriously who cares?
Let's just watch some hockey now. So go Wings!!

Do we even know if Tim cares about his wife's thoughts on the names? I'm not willing to give him the benefit of the doubt here...everything I've read about the guy seems to indicate that he's a straight up cave man.
coincidentally everytime I hear Kessel speak it seems to indicate some sort of incest in his family tree.
Well I think I'll turn on that Wings/Blues game and enjoy some hockey!

Not that we'll ever catch either team but I really hope this Wings/Blues game doesn't end up being a 3 pointer.
