Hockey Fans for Peace
by HF4P
 Millions of
Canadians enjoy hockey - and we also oppose the war in Afghanistan. A
new Facebook group, "Hockey Fans For Peace", urges the NHL and the mass
media to recognize this reality, by ending the practice of using hockey
games and broadcasts to promote the view that full support for the war
is the only acceptable position for any genuine hockey fan.
Failing
this, we call upon the NHL and the mass media to provide equal access
to hockey fans who oppose the war and want to bring the troops home
immediately.
We also encourage other sports to refrain from promoting
support for the war in Afghanistan. Within a few days, Hockey Fans For
Peace will have "Cherry" pink t-shirts on sale, featuring our logo
(crossed hockey sticks with a "peace sign" puck).
