Re: Fandom Venting
(Anonymous) 2017-06-12 08:22 am (UTC)(link)Subban’s comment, that Crosby was saying his breath smelled bad, was delivered in a joking manner and rather clearly intended as a stand-in for what Crosby actually said, something that his teammates could use to respond to the press without actually addressing what was said on the ice. Rather than having to dance around the actual content of remarks, Subban’s joke gave them a bit that they could run with. When asked again the next day about the answer, and that Crosby would eventually be asked about the same exchange, Subban made clear that he offered that answer as a sort of simulacra of an answer such that it could be substituted for the absent truth of the situation, as that truth only meaningfully exists within the state-of-affairs found on the ice.
Crosby responding in this manner, rejecting Subban’s comments and in fact turning it around on Subban, can be charitably interpreted as Crosby attempting to assert a sort of primacy in any relation between the two, that Subban is not established in the way that he is as a two-time cup winner.
Of course, that explanation is charitable toward Crosby to a fault, especially given the content of Crosby’s remarks. Subban specifically refused to offer a serious response in order to avoid accidental encroachment, in order to structure a space of possible-responses that does not include the substance of Crosby’s remarks. In response to this, Crosby rejected this and instead repeated the relations at hand, engaging in a discussion of Subban that touches upon largely antiblack notions of his status as a superstar.
Sidney Crosby’s response is, structurally, white fragility at its finest.
lmfao lmfao lmfao.

(Anonymous) 2017-06-12 11:58 am (UTC)(link)Crosby was smiling and laughing when he said what he said, too. Not a soul mentions that because they never watch the fucking video.
I literally can't. These people need to age out of their Sociology 101 classes and gain some fucking perspective before they kill me.
