Are the NHL and/or NHL players willing to deem their jobs unimportant? If you deem your product unimportant, your supporters may agree with you and walk away.

And let's be quite honest. Some of the most cash rich and visibly iconic people in the world can certainly offer much more to the situation than taking knees and walking out on games if they truly want to promote change given how bad things have gotten.
Walk away, but if you do it, you better do a heck of a lot more than simply not play games. Get organized and do something that will benefit people in a legitimate way for once. Do nothing more than not play and this will achieve very little if nothing in the long run.
