Swedish hockey team chairman parted ways with the Swedish lower division hockey team because the chairman, Mr. Lars Janzonin had used Phil Lawton's excellent restorated Hurricane as a background image on his Facebook page:

...and that was the reason to drop Mr. Janzon from his position because, as the team coach Per Kenttä explains; "We strongly resign from racism and nazism..."
If something in this world deserves a face palm, this would be it.
Effin' ignorant dimwits...
-
Geez you would think a Swede would know about the Von Rosen Cross from a neighboring European country. Its shocking and sad that so many people no jack-all about history and especially the histories of their own countries and regions. :(
...ignorant morons is right.
Sounds like a good excuse for a gloves off hockey fight too! :t
-
He simply should not have used a picture of the Hurrikan, Nazi Germany's most iconic WW2 fighter! :old:
-
Please tell me this Mr Janzon can sue them for this.

Well is it defamation of character - they basically called him a racist and threatened his professional career with such.

Lol :rofl

Swede Hockey doesn't have any fights :old:
You come to Merica(cananda) to see the split lips and busted eyes on the ice :rock :rock :rock :rock

The funniest thing is that von Rosen was a Swede himself and the blue swastika was his personal lucky symbol which along with the donated plane became the symbol of FAF.

...so far.

I do agree that it was patetic to involve the pic of the Hurricane in this but nevertheless had the said chairman on several occasions before made posts of Fb that were not exactly up to the standard required by a chairman.
-
Is hockey particularly big in Sweden then or is this like the BBC reporting that the manager of the Acrington Stanley 3rd division tiddlywinks team has resigned?

There has been 274 Swedes that played/play in the NHL. The NHL is the top hockey league in the world.

Sweden is one of the top hockey countries. Canada, USA, Russia and Finland being the others.

The team is currently playing in the 2nd highest Division so things like this will definitly get some attention.

If only Google were available to him.

Hockey aint big in Britain. In fact, over here, only girls play hockey.

Those are the ones the Germans used when they bombed Pearl Harbor!

You folks did supply us with Byron Dafoe, he was a Bruins goalie for a few years. :aok

He played for Boston for 5 years, but he was born in England and moved to British Columbia when he was only a few months old.

That is strange! Why is there a swastika on the Hurricane? Was it a captured airframe or something?
:) :bolt:

Sweden was neutral in the war so they are worse than Nazis or commies.
Ireland was neutral as well, so they are poo

Im sure many jews and refugees saved by sweden would disagree Zack. Google and wikipedia are some tools you can use :)
I only wish Germany could have stayed neutral. Would have solved alot of problems. :old:

How dare you!
Facts are a myth :old:
And selling Iron ore to Germany?
Sweden made a nice profit me thinks.

True that but that was a cunning plan. You see the swedes knew that whatever they made with that ore would eventually rust. Very clever.
Oh and on Ireland... If you ever had Jameson you know that whatever they do they are above poo status forever and always.

Nevermind this post, brainfart and too early without caffene :old:

Swoop,that's not hockey! The girls play a strange coming of age game with a different sort of cricket bat!
They run about of a football pitch and whack each other on the ankles till they bleed.
Rumor has it,it's an old wiccan rite that evolved from a training ritual. :devil

Brits play hockey with candy canes? :headscratch:
-
Told ya, it's a girls sport and the only fellas that play it over here are girlie men. I mean, just look at that pic. Very girlie men.
-
Of course it's a girl's sport. It's soccer on ice.
-
What is soccer?
Is that what the colonials call football?
American football is Rugby with armour and advertisments every 15 minutes for hermmeroid cream in the colonies :old:
Why they call it Football when they pick up the ball is very odd :old:
England cannot play Rugby anymore because the players use those little bott washing toilets that fire jets of water up your rear :old:
-

More like 10 secs of action and then 2 minutes of adverts. No wonder it takes 3 hours to complete 1 hour of playing time.

Reminds me of when I got suspended (nearly expelled) for a long period of time in 7th grade for a drawing of a bf-109 (didn't even have a swastika only iron crosses)... The school realized down the line that they could have faced a lawsuit, so in the end I didn't have to repeat that year. You can't rewrite history just because you don't feel it's PC. When the darker parts of history vanish from our education they are even more likely to repeat themselves... :rock rocknroll

It's 12 inches end to end. Inchball and yardball never caught on. :bolt:

you would think USA would be better at rugby seeing as they have all that NFL practice, not alot of difference in those sports except you throw sideways instead of forwards. Oh and you don't wear body armour or helmets.
I'm still butthurt that you could see the NFL logo scrubbed out paintwork in the centre circle at Wembley for the Euro qualifier match. Selling out the home of football to corporates trying to force feed us a sport no-one cares about here.
-
I Like American Football, its like a game of chess. You have the coordinators sitting and overlooking the field. Deciding their next move. Then they are telling their chess pieces on the field what to do.
European football? 45 minutes of passes between the defencemens and the goalie followed by a long ball up the field towards an imaginary team mate, resulting in giving the ball to the opponents, who start the process all over again. And everyone is happy.
This can on rare occasions be interrupted by a player jumpkicking a guy in the stands.
-
Thats not even a "nazi" swastika, their swastika is angled more

They be robots. Difference is how well the robots have been programmed.

Why play Rugby when we can play the real thing? Rugby always looked like an NFL practice in short and no pads.
-
Got that the wrong way around. Pads are for sissies.
-
Neg., played both. NFL players are bigger, stronger, and the game involves a lot more violent impacts.
-
watched a bit of the USA vs JPN game and they didn't do that bad, the US kicker was surprisingly good.
If some of the JPN team weren't bending the distant japanese relatives rules they could have won that match.
I guess it's tough for USA in football and rugby to be allowed to play decent opposition. Maybe they should be invited into the 6 nations tournament should be a money spinner!
