It's when stuff like this, or the George Floyd protests, or other instances where the "real world" crosses over with the sports world, that I suddenly can't listen to podcasts or watch intermission panels for a week without wanting to slap people across the face.
I would rather hear from persons within the industry than the Don Lemons or Tucker Carlsons latest hot takes on a sport to which they have never paid attention, especially if it happens within the hockey world.

Although I understand what you're saying and, honestly, it's been tough intermixing social commentary with sports lately. Between COVID and everything else, I'm just exhausted by it.
