Sign in Bethesda about opening up ice hockey in the style of a woke yard sign.

What’s the address OP? I want to shake their hands

I can’t stand any of the woke signage.

Why do some people feel the need to announce all of these things? Just be a good person. You don’t have to virtue signal by putting a cringey sign up.

Virtue signaling is in...

Anytime the “woke movement” is mocked, that makes me happy.

If you don't get it, you don't get it.

“Kindness is everything”

Unless you disagree with me, apparently.

Right? It's bizarre for so many reasons!

There are a number of those signs along River Rd and they have been up for months. When I first drove by one I wondered how long it would be before someone complained.it took longer than I thought.

OP, you’re being ridiculous.

I agree with original poster. These signs are I n really poor taste. I don’t love the original “we believe” signs but they’re favored by people who genuinely believe in these values and then to take that format and cynically make it about youth sports? Seriously? There are people dying in the pandemic and your advocacy goes to hockey? I don’t fault people for playing hockey or for not having the original sign - but to use it as a template to declare your ultimate value in the midst of the collapse of the economy and democracy to be...youth hockey? And then to take these signs and put them, not in your yard but in the medians of intersections around Bethesda and Potomac. This reveals a level of privilege and myopia that is truly breathtaking. And then people wonder why schools develop curricula around social justice.

Definitely in poor taste but I’m not surprised.

I live in a very pro-LEO area and see tons of “blue lives matter”/“all lives matter”, plus really distasteful things like “comply and don’t die” or “Save lives, Comply.”

Funny thing is they get SO triggered if you make any joke about LEO. Or use the same rhetoric against them when there’s an LEO death (“well, if he had done XYZ...”)

How is it in “poor taste?” Are you saying those ridiculous signs are somehow sacred text and how dare someone mock them? Some of you are truly unbelievable. The pious sanctimony of the left knows no bounds.

You are a fool. If those yards signs are your sacred creed I feel very sorry for you.

Sign is brilliant.

Haven't we used imitation for bumper stickers and yards signs for years.

Why is the BLM language sacrosanct. Doesn't everybody know that it was copies as well?

Probably like any good advertising, they probably imitated simply to get us to talk about it.

The original signs and the silly bumper stickers you cite are on your personal property. Keep your cynical boosterism out of the highway median please. If you want a hockey sign there, fine put one that just advertises youth hockey in a straightforward way. Let’s not use public space to mock each other’s beliefs in the name of supposedly supporting youth sports.
