Here's How Racists On Twitter Reacted to Joel Ward's Series-Winning Goal Against Boston
Joel Ward is a light-scoring winger for the Capitals, who was in the right place and the right time to put home the overtime series-winner to send Washington past Boston in game 7.

Welsh Rugby Out To Kill All Kinds Of Popes, Not Just The Catholic Ones
