mike commodore is claiming on twitter that the oilers are sending him threatening emails??

for context he has a long history of beefing with babcock. there is a designated subsection on his wikipedia page about that:

pace & power (iconic sketch): describe black athletes as dependent entirely on their physical gifts. a way to imply they are neither skilled nor intelligent, and effectively lock them out of leadership positions and post career coaching / analysis roles.

lazy: taking the gifted athlete argument to its conclusion, saying they don't work hard in training or in game. as though any pro athlete isn't incredibly disciplined and the margins for getting replaced aren't incredibly fine. also who fucking cares about training, in game quality is all that matters everyone loved eden hazard.

lifestyle issues: describe black athletes as uniquely irresponsible and distracted by doing normal celebrity things like modeling fashion, featuring on rap music videos, buying houses or partying. this also comes up with a dose of classism in the context of black athletes who may have made it out of the slums or projects.

ungrateful: fans usually want all athletes to be thankful to them, but they want black athletes to never ever challenge this compact even when they break it by racially abusing their own players. its also a way of disciplining players who command power by virtue of their reputation and skills – how dare you, have more power than me, a white person who pays for your career? white fans already feel ownership over their teams, but society tells them that all black people should be even lower than the white athlete you already justified calling wanker. and therefore the black athlete who can negotiate a big contract or have intelligent opinions on political issues you disagree with is ungrateful.

Do you ship it?

Reason:

“doomed yaoi. BEST friends for almost a decade, fucking inseparable, and then kreids gets traded to the ducks. AND in during what was supposed to be their reunion game and chris' first time back in msg, ZIBBY IS A HEALTHY SCRATCH. and obviously hockey players hug each other nonstop, but Man it's a lot with them. “fill in the blank: we are complete opposites when it comes to… nothing” AND NOW THEYRE NOT EVEN ON THE SAME TEAM! kreids throwing the tablet out of mika's hands is funny but it's also because HE DIDN'T WANT HIS BEST FRIEND DOUBTING HIMSELF ON A GOOD PLAY! “alltid oavsett” IM SIIIIIICK TO MY STOMACH. ALWAYS REGARDLESS. ALWAYS BEST FRIENDS REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT PLAYING TOGETHER ANYMORE!!! i love them possibly even more than they love each other”
