Open Question: Do you think U.S. media often likes to make controversy by crying racism! when something isn’t even racist?
Sports Poll: Do you think these hockey fans’ actions were racist? At a recent NHL game two fans in the stands were photographed wearing blackface makeup and afro wigs. The fans say their attire was in support of Montreal Canadiens prospect P.K. Subban, who is black-Canadian. http://www.ktla.com/news/landing/ktla-nhl-blackface,0,6852620.story This is exactly what happened after the Australian Jackson Jive fiasco, in which the *American* judge on the TV show went nuts over it claiming it was disgusting and racist, then U.S. media went into a frenzy. Is society becoming too politically correct, the U.S. in particular?

Resolved Question: Does Joe really know best?
A friend of mine sent this: http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nhl/news/story?id=4985463 and it got me thinking, was Joe’s decision not to persue potential trades for Modano the right decision for the Stars? BQ* How many hours do you spend on the computer?

Resolved Question: Wayne Gretzky’s number 99?
A story about Jackie Robinson on mlb.com says of Jackie’s number 42: The only player who wears No. 42 is Yankees great Mariano Rivera, and once the famed closer calls it a career, no one will wear it again except in tribute each April 15. No other pro sports league has retired a number across all teams. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100308content_id=8721264vkey=news_mlbfext=.jspc_id=mlb But Wayne Gretzky’s No. 99 was retired throughout the NHL during the 2000 All-Star Game!

Resolved Question: So what is Cooking in the NHL news?
What’s the latest on whether Matt Cooke gets suspended or not? TSN has nothing but a poll. Shouldn’t the NHL have made a decision by now? It is 3 days after the fact UPDATE- just heard on the radio that Colin Campbell thinks it was a LEGAL hit. Also, Bruins think Savard is out for the season. UGH HOW can this NOT be seen as an elbow? Watch Cooke’s arm immediately AFTER contact…he is seen putting his arm back in after he clearly stuck it out to make contact! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ldiHq1gV5g
