Tim Thomas really show the courage to defend their beliefs

Tim Thomas exercised their democratic rights to freedom of expression and speech today. No one was hurt in the process has been developed so that no one in danger. However, because we live in the digital age, because everyone feels deserving of wrath, but it was not long for hate shooting.

Boston Bruins made a visit to the White House today where they were honored at a special ceremony by President Barack Obama. Made by each member of the team's trip to the capital, with the exception of Thomas, who later wrote in his Facebook page that he skipped the event as a way of expressing dissatisfaction with what they consider beyond the control of size United States Federal Government. In his statement, said he believed that both Republicans and Democrats are responsible for the current situation is very unpleasant.

Thomas is well-known Republican, and the fact that the incumbent President is democracy leads us to believe that the purpose of the contempt of the day was the same Peres. This is a logical conclusion. What is not acceptable, however, Thomas cynicism by those who compare with the right-wing fear-mongering anti-immigrant GOP. Never entered into the record of conviction of illegal immigrants or not, to take jobs from Americans, but this feeling is the popular auction today on Twitter. If through their words or actions that Thomas leads us to believe that he is racist, then we will discuss. Until then, maybe we can have a civilized dialogue free of insults and personal attacks.

I do not agree at all with the assessment of Thomas "The U.S. government has gotten out of control and threatening its citizens, but part of me admires him because he demonstrated the value of the day. Exposed to ridicule and hatred expression of opinion, and misleading, since it can be.

The other big news in the NHL today, a three-match suspension given to Alex Ovechkin for his success in Zbynek Michalek Pittsburgh. Ovechkin took in a healthy way to Michalek, left his feet, and he carried on his shoulders and his head Michalek. It was a foul play by the player who has a history of questionable success. So far, there is little anger in the duration of the suspension, or the fact that these visits are cheap in the NHL to continue on a weekly basis.

Lesson learned: It's okay to drive the main opposition in the cup, it is nice to have a political opinion, if you are an ice hockey player.
