Look at this photograph, damn Chad is looking really bad.

JT wearing a thin Blue line hat…

Rough look for tj with that hat

The hat’s way worse than Chad

What the hell is on JT’s head

Why does it look like Chad’s face was almost photoshopped in lmao. Too bad about the Miller hat tho 🤢

What’s with the spottiness of Chad’s left hand

I try not to think about the politics of my sports faves, it’d be nice if they made it just a *little* easier to do…

Thin blue line is rough. But also, is Chad’s hand huge or is it just me?

Y’all can appreciate a sports player even if you disagree with his politics. This isn’t a Virtanen situation. The whole « anyone on the other side of the political spectrum is evil and I can’t look at them » thing is terrible for our society, and it comes from both sides of the political spectrum. Just enjoy the hockey he plays.
NotoriousBananaHavoc
Chad looks like he farted in a packed elevator and reliesed it was a shart.

You don’t have to agree with the man’s views to appreciate the talent.
Fact is, it might be time some people start getting off their high horses. The guy supports a movement you don’t like. Live with it.

A white, male athlete with uninformed opinions developed in a privileged environment. Not surprised. Disgusted, but not surprised.

The reality is most professional athletes did not go to school for a long time, have lots of money, and shouldn’t be put on a pedestal for whatever their beliefs may be. They are entertainers, plain and simple. Some people in this thread need to get off their high horse.
Artie-Fufkin
Nice hat Miller, you douchebag.
StinkPickle02
The hat is tongue in cheek. He’s referring to the Canucks’ defense
GingerNJuice
Everyone commenting about the hat… keep in mind the vast majority of hockey players come from conservative backgrounds. The same with Kesler and his Trump support. It’s ok to still support him as a hockey player and someone who wants to flourish in Vancouver without agreeing with his politics.

Kroeger looks very different in that pic
ballersfan4
big surprise… an nhl player is racist

I find it best for my suspension of disbelief not to think too much about what these guys do or think or who they hang out with off the ice.

Absolutely loving you all melting down over a hat

I think it’s taken from the Ridge course, first hole, at Northview. The whole facility (both courses) is closed to the public today.

Chad and JT go deep
yeahHedid
Just a hat that symbolizes the idea that cops shouldn’t report or be witnesses for human rights violations perpetrated by other cops. What a great stance to take JT. Leadership material right there.

I don’t get it. Two middle aged ppl on the gc one a hockey player and another with what looks like a bad facelift but it’s so hard to tell lol

people need to relax about a stranger wearing a hat

Meanwhile Garland follows an account on Twitter called « Libs of Tik Tok », which leads harassment campaigns against hospitals.
One follower made a bomb threat against Boston Children’s Hospital.
Garland is also a fan of Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson is known for propagating the far-right conspiracy theory called « the great replacement ». Carlson believes people are being brought into the U.S. to change the ethnic makeup of the nation. It’s also known as « white genocide ».
These are just the facts.

Why is supporting a police a bad thing? Why do we need to attach narratives to things when we don’t understand someone’s full thoughts?
interrupting-octopus
I have a question for all of the « you can like a player and disagree with their politics » people.
**Where is the line**, then? At what point do a player’s political views so egregiously conflict with the culture of the team that it’s a problem?
Because I can imagine that the line for many people is comfortably short of a fucking Thin Blue Line/Blue Lives Matter hat.
Whether you like it or not, sports and politics do intersect. And the character of a team’s players is both relevant to the organization and informed by their off-ice/field behaviour.
ETA: He’s also *wearing a Canucks shirt*. So yeah, he is fully representing the team and responsible for the image he puts out there. If I were the Canucks FO I would be pissed to have the team brand associated with this nonsense.
Mammoth-Farmer3164
No doubt he’s racist lol. His last name is Miller

Everyone commenting about the cap when in reality I’m more alarmed at JT’s willingness to be seen in a photograph with Chad Kroeger.
Vagus10
Wearing that hat in Canada is a poor choice. Let’s hope it doesn’t blow up. Canucks PR hopefully will say something.

I wonder if Jonathan Tanner’s father is a cop.
deepaksn
Clearly his teeth were bared
He could have been yawning or snarling
The story was never clear
jono766
Noticed Chad right away. Didn’t realize that was J.T. Never seen him somewhat clean shaven
ProphetofElias
Saw the photo and the number of comments and thought this thread would be full of Nickelback memes. Didn’t notice the hat at first. I’m disappointed we always have to focus on politics in our hockey sub when there is meme potential to be had.

HOLY SHIT LEGENDARY SHRED GUITARIST CHUD KROGER

Everyone opining about JT’s hat like it’s universally understood as a bad association.
Not that long ago I got flamed across the board for a picture where Podz was in a group of guys, one of whom was doing the upside-down OK sign. A lot of people think it’s a « white power » sign… other’s think it’s just a… honestly I still don’t get it.
Point is, nobody can read the mind of someone just for what they wear or project, except maybe in very specific/extreme scenarios where it’s patently obvious.
I’ll take it that it’s a hat in support of police, with no specific negative association inherently added. I also take it that any rational observer understands the nuance in supporting policework broadly, while not having to support it in every facet.
sogladatwork
JT Miller has always been a douche bag. I wish we had traded him. It’s not too late. Let the Canucks know how you feel about this trash.
Nuck_1198
So Nickelback is confirmed as our goal song for the upcoming season as we suspected?
CorpusclesOfStannius
Bro looks like a roblox character 💀
Stelar101
Well I guess a 7 year 8 million dollar contract makes you more comfortable wearing that hat. I do like how he is wearing glasses to make himself look smart though. This is why I get invested in teams and not players.
goodbye9hello10
OOF that hat on Jimothy.
SourGrapesFTW
I’d like to see all the people getting upset over the hat get off their phones and go down to downtown Eastside and do the work that our first responders have to do.
