everyone want de-escalation.

Silence, brands
one more strongly worded letter ought to do it
Word salad
Ah yes, such a bold stance. Zero effort put forth by the Wild. Frankly, you could argue that adding your name to this list of chicken shit companies that are too afraid to take an actual stance says more about the organization than saying nothing at all.
Copy paste wait repeat after next horrific event
Written by chatgpt. Prompt was « create a noncommittal and noncontroversial statement that doesn’t really say anything at all but throw in some language about solutions. »
Stunning and brave
between all the billable hours of all those corporations passing the same letter around so their respective legal teams can adjust as needed, that has got to be one of the most expensive ways in the history of the state to say absolutely nothing at all
Removing ICE from the Twin Cities would go a long way to Deescalation
Calling on both sides to de-escalate when only one side is responsible for this whole mess makes this letter as pointless as pulling your goalie when you’re down 6 with a minute to go in the third.
(Edit: Federal Agents murdered Alex Pretti. The federal government is at fault can’t believe I have to make that clear.)
People say that the shooting was a tragedy like it was just some really unfortunate thing that happened, Like it was some inevitable event that no one had the power to stop. It wasn’t a just tragedy, it was a murder. A man who broke no laws was executed by the the state.
please, our money
That’s a lot of words to convey zero thoughts.
Chock full of passive voice and careful language
“The recent challenges facing our state” and “deescelation of tensions” lol
I guess this is the best we’re going to get from our corporate overlords
What’s the point of writing words if they don’t convey anything? So empty.
We as businesses are working with the government for “real solutions” to “foster progress.”
We heard about a federal agent killing another one of our community members, and “we are calling for deesculation” and “real solutions.”
“We call for peace.. To achieve a swift and durable solution..” So we can continue to make money.
Can I take a moment to dissociate and complain about how stupidly in line with Minnesota sports history it is that we have the most talented team in franchise history at the worst possible time?
« Pls dont stop gibin us $$ bby… »
I asked the Wild to cancel/postpone the game on Saturday. It didn’t work.
At least the Wolves had the common decency to not play that day.
I think if the Wild want to help, stop playing hockey in cities that are being attacked by government-sponsored domestic terrorism.
Or else, just issue a more honest statement that says “we care more about making money than keeping the most vulnerable members of our community safe from ICE.”
Hey ChatGPT, take our COVID-era « fall in line, peasants » demand and update it for current events.
Spread the word 👍
Really disappointing statement that doesn’t put any of the blame on the perpetrators. This is a really useless statement: it doesn’t actually call for the government to do anything (nor would they anyways) nor is it going to satisfy anyone on the ground watching their community be terrorized by ICE. It was a waste of time to draft this statement if they’re not going to say anything constructive.
not wild. weird
I’m sure Aaron Sickman (email: asickman@wild.com), Director of Media Relations, would LOVE to get an email from you, discussing how disappointed you are in the blasé statement.
Congrats…the Wild signed the note that was passed around the classroom at school today. Making a statement as a franchise (and not as a collective of Minnesota companies) would have been far more impactful but they obviously won’t do it.
I feel like « don’t gun people down in the street for taking a video of you » is a fairly simple solution, no?
Sabres fan with a special place in my heart for Pommer’s second home. I have transferred to support Minnesota in the West but was absolutely flabbergasted that they didn’t even put out a statement the day Alex was killed. Lots of focus was on the heat they took due to having the game still, but to not even acknowledge the dystopian nightmare right next door in a statement??? Fuck, man. IDK. You guys deserve better. Much love from the East Coast.
And yet they still found a way to not be on the right side of history. Just begging “everyone” to stop so their bottom lines don’t get impacted. Opportunistic performative cowards as usual.
