Um. Oh boy.

Last night Pittsburgh beat Nashville in the Stanley Cup Final.

It was a really interesting series in a lot of ways but mainly Tumblr took it INCREDIBLY FUCKING SERIOUSLY. There was a lot of hypocrisy on both ends to start off with.

People calling Crosby a dick on the ice (which, if what I’ve heard isn’t a gross stretch, is true, and he gets away with a lot), people calling the thing rigged, people being mad because of Nashville’s goalie chants, and so on. It was a fucking mess.

Anyway, I was fine thinking “people falsely demonizes Subban and Crosby might be a dick on the ice but he’s fine otherwise.”

And then of course I checked a non-hockey blog that has a lot of followers and people are saying that apparently people’s obsession with Nashville is bad.

According to the people on that blog, people would be calling Subban a dick if he were white. I’ve heard that people demonized Subban for things they let white people get away with off of Tumblr. Also apparently Nashville has a convicted sex offender and Pittsburgh has a black player who isn’t a dick.

Basically apparently there’s a million sides to a story and I don’t have enough information to know what to do with these contradictory accounts of the series.

Hockey is a fucking mess.
