When I first heard what the NBA was doing, my first thought was “what is the point, keep politics out of sports” as some others on here have stated. Given some time to process what is actually happening and how much discussion and even some positive changes that have come about, I definitely have to applaud them for it.
It does not bother me at all that the NHL was late to the party. It’s better to think it out on their own, make the correct decision (which they did), rather than just follow along for the sake of following along. Lots of positive discussions, even if everyone doesn’t always agree.
While the US government has been brought up a few times, that change needs to happen there because they don’t think systematic racism exists. Before we, as Canadians start calling them out, we better take a good hard look in the mirror and think about who we voted in, and his history with poor judgment, specifically related to racism.
