They're entitled to endorse what they want, but why not pick a women's shelter or something?

i can't wait to see their responses in the press, if they address it at all.. maybe it will be good and actually force some of them to learn about issues that face women.

i'm not saying that all the wives and girlfriends of the ottawa senators are dumb and oblivious to sexism and women's issues..among other things.. i'm just saying that every girlfriend of an nhl hockey player i've met, is.

well, i hope it's ignorance and not intentional. hey ladies, not every girl is married to a hockey player, some can't afford to have kids at 22.

me too, and i bet it is. the way planned parenthood described it, the organization is technically anti-choice, but doesn't explicitly describe themselves that way.

it will be interesting to see if they withdraw their support and take a side on the issue, or if they'll just ignore it.

out of curiosity, how many NHL partners have you met? not trying to be critical of your comment, just wondering in what context you would have met one.

well, you didn't ask me but i know 4 or 5 and they're all smart, think for themselves women, like one would expect of a grown-up. some of them have different opinions than me, but i'm not gonna make generalizations like they're all dumb and oblivious.

no worries. i've only known three personally. there are a few NHL players from thunder bay. i've gotta say i know no wives though. only girlfriends and one fiance.

i'm sure that there are many smart ones. but there's definitely the cliche kind as well.
