this sums up my feelings about auston. strip the C off of him, get him out of toronto.

i need everyone at scotiabank to remember how they booed marner every time he had the puck for a whole period and do that to matthews for the rest of the season

tiny-brini

auston matthews, son of a mexican woman, son of an immigrant, enthusiastically shaking hands with the president proves to you that these men just don't get it. and they will never truly get it.

woefully-devoted

Matthews so help me, if you go to the white house simply don't come back to Toronto. I'm so serious. Stay there.

and i also think it’s ridiculous to diminish this by saying something along the lines of “they’re rich white men and we should just expect this”

we can’t just dismiss people’s actions because they’re in a position of sociopolitical privilege and if we continue to normalise those in positions of privilege upholding the systems of oppression that benefit them, nothing will ever change.

i don’t care if they’re rich and white, at the end of the day they’re grown men and they should know about the world they live in and have a back bone and empathy for other people. i will not accept their bigotry simply because they don’t have personal experience of systematic oppression. if anything i hold them to higher standards because they have that relative social power to challenge bigotry.

buddying up with trump and kash patel is not okay no matter how privileged you are and i refuse to hold them to lower standards. they are from places where they get to witness first hand the impact of this administration or they have latino heritage or idk their fucking mother works for the team at the butt of the jokes they’re laughing at.

being privileged is not an excuse. they have the money, power and the resources to learn and they should have a back bone and use their fucking brains.
