It's pride month so I'll allow myself to express one opinion on the internet :

There are no "exact color" of pride flags.

I see more and more sites and posts talking about the exact hex codes for the lesbian flag, or the right purple for the ace one, and how it should be more or less saturated and I just want to say: pride flags were meant to be sewn in your kitchen. To be spraypainted and to be recognised.

There are no "exact colors" of pride flags because you should do them with what you have ! Nobody should care if you use a crimson red instead of a cherry red or whatever ! Be free ! wave your colors ! The colors you have !

Can't believe Kris Sparre left the Fleet to go get milk and cigarettes and never came back. Never trust a man.

Can't believe Kris Sparre did all that and then took Alina Muller in the custody battle. He split up the bonded pair!! I'm calling child protective services!!

Worst argument on earth about people not loving forced player movement is being like “well this is how it works in other sports (and by other sports they primarily mean USA/Canada leagues) if they want to be professional they have to deal with it!” Like okay yes but in the big four they making millions to do it not coordinator level white collar office job salary. I mean we can talk about if it’s even ethical for the millions (I don’t think so) but you can at least argue they’re paid for the inconvenience. And I’ve seen people are repeat that it’s the reality of sports and the privilege of being a pro athlete and honestly like. No it’s not a privilege it’s a job they do something they’re very good at and dedicate more time to than the average person dedicates to their job and their building up the league value which the owners will likely get a new profit off of in 2033 or whenever when the teams sell. It’s not a privilege to work a job you’re qualified for just because it’s an entertainment job lol especially these athletes who aren’t even getting like generational wealth or anything from this

For some positive Fleet news today, assistant coach Stefanie McKeough was recently on a podcast where she talks about her journey from youth hockey in Ottawa to Wisconsin to coaching in the PWHL. It is a really great listen if you have the time!

Watch it on Youtube here or it is also on Spotify
