Oh it’s true the Pacific Northwest is white as driven snow however, Seattle is about 10% black so that’s a chunk of money to not want to leave on the table.

The reason I mention Georgia is that that is football country. To boycott the NFL and turn your back on the home team would take a lot of offense.

I still think it’s smart business to try not stir up a hornets nest and make a supportive statement to group who probably already see ice hockey as a cracker sport on a good day.

Uhhh am I allowed to say Cracker ?

You're sort of correct, Blacks are 7.9 % of Seattle's population and 6.3 % of Portland's. That is quite a bit higher than I realized. I still think those relatively small numbers contribute to outsized community wokeness though.

But they aren't targeting those people with this identitarian marketing campaign. That is for the consumption of affluent white urbanites. They lap that shit up these days. Black people won't be support the Kraken, realistically. They aren't into following white athletic competitions, by and large.

I would also note that the black percentage of population appears to be shrinking, no doubt due to the migration of whites from Los Angeles and San Francisco into the Northwest among other places. This trend should have the effect of moving the culture progressively further and further in the direction of woke identity politics. I'm just spitballing here of course, I have no crystal ball.

But I do find this shit interesting.

Well that’s kinda boring. I was hoping it was some tall, sultry, salty old broad in a catsuit with a bullwhip and party favours.

Elliot Freakman was on the radio, or podcast, today. Not sure which. Apparently he said that the Canucks and Petey are working on a 3 year deal, and negotiations are progressing well, whereas the Hughes contract looks like it will be longer term and negotiations are a bit slower.

on Pettersson and Hughes contracts : Petey will get done, could be looking at 3 years. They are grinding away, lots of optimism. On Hughes, it is more of a challenge, not same term as Pettersson.

If he is, sign him and then trade him when his value is at its max. Don't do what Toronto is doing and let that asset go for free in a few years.
