"Hockey has a track record of putting issues as important as this one on the back burner, till they are confronted by the masses. "
I actually take umbrage at that statement. Says who? You?
CG12 Who are the "masses" you speak off. 25 year olds in mobs who think they are the first to deal with the racism problem. All you and your ilk do is virtue signal and bully others into accepting your virtue signalling. How many actual east indian, muslim, native or black friends do you have? Maybe you do! That's all you can do is make sure YOU aren't a racist. Only you can prevent forest fires and only you can treat everyone as people not races.
My friends Ziad, Rufus and Jag never bring it up. Want to see pics of the block party we had 3 weeks ago?
You might as well protest drug addiction.
When any of the 84 US policemen who've died in the line of duty so far this year were killed, did Pro Sports to come to a stand still? No? Why not? How many people have been shot to death in Chicago this year? Virtue signalling does NOT stop racists from being racist.
My real point needs to be remade.
1968 Mexico City 2 black amaerican atheletes gave a Black Panther salute. The IOC banded all such political activity with penalties such as disqualification in the next Olympics..
When Patton won at the academy awards a first nations girl came up instead and made a political speech. This kept on for a few years until they said enough was enough.
Pro sports will suffer and lose yet more viewers the more political they get. I have zero interest in the NFL couldn't care less anymore.
