SWPL: Frisbee

This guy deserves his book contract
:
Though many white people consider competitive sports to be too aggressive and macho for their tastes there are a few exceptions. The most notable is soccer since for some reason it is wrong to get fired up about [a] Football game, but right to get fired up about a Football match. The second sport (term used loosely) in this category is called Ultimate Frisbee or simply Ultimate.
It is important to know that when you hear a white person saying “we should do some ultimate this weekend” or “I’m so pumped for ultimate,” they are talking about a sport and not an “ultimate solution”-type race war. Though a quick look at a field full of Ultimate Frisbee players might lead one to surmise that an ethnic cleansing has taken place.
…
If you look a little closer, you will see some surprising things. First, you will never see hippies get more upset than on an Ultimate Frisbee field. It can be jarring to see people who look like they should be playing acoustic guitars yelling at each other about whether or not Blake stepped out of bounds. Secondly, you will notice that Ultimate Frisbee matches are the best place to meet white guys who wear headbands.
He also deserves each and every one of his 44+ million hits, incidentally.
Don’t bring this crap to my hometown, okay?

Kurds and Turks brawl in Edmonton restaurant.
The attack happened around 4 p.m. Thursday when a group of up to 25 armed men stoned the cafe at 15960 109 Ave., breaking its window.
Angry Kurds blamed their fellow Turks for instigating the violence, but Ankara Cafe owner Tugay Doksuz said the fight actually began earlier as a heated discussion between a few people seated inside.
One of them then called his friends, who showed up with metal batons, knives and stones. The violence ended with three men cut and bruised. The assault also left the cafe with broken chairs and tables.
While Doksuz believes the incident was the first of its kind in Edmonton, Tan said growing Turkish and Kurdish Immigration to the city, particularly from Toronto, has led to a number of skirmishes in recent months.
A few weeks ago, he noted, a minor fight broke out during a soccer game in which a Kurdish man insulted a player wearing the jersey of the Turkish national team.
Aggravating the situation is the large number of Turks and Kurds who come to Edmonton for construction work, leading to rivalries between firms bidding for jobs, Tan said.
In Turkey, the two groups have a history of animosity, particularly due to a bloody bid by the (PKK) for self-rule in the country’s southeast.
Canada has designated the PKK a terrorist organization, but Tan said the group has both members and sympathizers in Edmonton, including many who have moved here from Toronto.
Come here to live and work and I have no problem with you.
Come here and cause a ruckus, and I only wish I had the power to personally escort you to an airplane bound for the “old country.”
