You want to play soccer? Not with that turban on!

The policy is misguided and grounded in racism IMO.

I have lived in a few parts of the country and travelled to most of it and have found that Quebec just has had the most intolerance (especially outside of Montreal) of anywhere I have been.

A former Premier blamed the sovereignty vote loss on Jews and immigrants and most of the province did not see the comments a s a big deal.

The current premier has floated it out there that if you can't speak French you should not be allowed to vote, not a lot of backlash over those comments.

I have no idea what this means.

I wish I had the language skill that bilingual folks have and have enrolled my kids in Spanish bilingual school. If you are somehow trying to imply that I am characterizing them because English is not the primary language you could not be more wrong.

In a suprise to nobody it turns out the Quebec association over reached.

I hope the Canadian Soccer Association actually shows some back bone and comes down hard on the Quebec federation instead of just engaging in talk. Not sure what they can do to enforce it though without further hurting the kids.

 

Punish the hockey leagues in Quebec.

That'll put some teeth in it.

(Oh wait.)

 

There are times when I really like soccer.

Like when the World Cup qualifying games of late had a moment of silence for tornado victims, specifically referring to the elementary age soccer stud from Moore among the dead.

And, when they make a rule like this.

 

It will be funny when you come back in the next life as a gay black man or some sort of brown person who has customs different from your own, Karma has a sense of humnour.

That is of course after your turn as a dung beetle.

 

What is it you like about this rule?

 

Are there pins in a turban?

 

Hindu fantasy of yours.

 

Glad you are so sure.

Dog eat Dog sounds like the name of an oral host in a leather bar. Foreshadowing how you will be re-incarnated perhaps.

 

Well then maybe the Mooslims will issue a fatwa against Canadian soccer with a rider that includes the MSL.
