NHL Team Offends Social Media Softies With Picture Of Dead Animal

The softies on social media are spending the first day of March Madness crying into their pillows because the Dallas Stars tweeted out a picture of a dead coyote after beating the … Arizona Coyotes … Wednesday night. 

I'm talking pitchforks, graphic content warnings, threats to the team to take the post down, and emergency PETA meetings to discuss next steps. 

That last one may or may not be true, by the way. I made it up. But, if we're being honest, it's probably true. Those people are nuts. 

Anyway, here's the tweet. Some wokes refuse to post it without a disclaimer. I'm not doing that because I'm a grown adult. 

PS: I'm posting the screenshot version of it because I assume the Stars will bend the knee at some point today and delete it. 

Dallas Stars shouldn't bend the knee to social media softies 

That's it. That's the post that has everyone upset this morning. A dead coyote. Road kill. 

And by the way, as long as it's not a dog or cat, I don't care about animals getting run over. There, I said it. If it's a domesticated animal, I'm sad. If it's a human, I'm sad (most of the time). 

If it's a raccoon, opossum, armadillo, deer, hog, turtle, gopher or gator – I don't care. Frankly, we're better off. 

My backyard is currently being torn to shreds by raccoons, and they keep coming back, no matter how many I trap. I'd love for the Dallas Stars to beat some sort of fictional NHL team and kill a raccoon. I'd be thrilled. 

Anyway, everyone is upset by the tweet (fake upset, by the way) but, as of 10 a.m. Thursday, it's still up. Good for the Stars. Have a backbone one time for me. 

And by the way, the Coyotes ain't coming out of this smelling like roses, either. 

OutKick's crack NHL expert Matt Reigle tells me that team is ruthless on social media, including this below shot at the Maple Leafs last month, so this seems like fair game to me. 

Eye for an eye. 

PS: a lot of folks in the comments section say that above animal is a fox, not a coyote. Is that true? I have no clue. 

Doesn't matter to me, though. Frankly, I'm more concerned as to why the truck is driving in the middle of the road. 

What's going on there?
