Uh, where’s the report about racism at the hoops? I guess I missed that one.

Yeah, I understand there’s a diversity problem in the NBA and NFL as well. We better get on that at the same time as part of this hockey deal.

I saw him get cross-checked, tripped, slashed and take high sticks. NOTE: This stuff never happens to white players. [/s]

I forget who it was that said the reason blacks don’t play hockey is that no one can find a black man willing to be chased around by white men in masks carrying sticks.

And, your report on the NBA?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I remember Robin Williams talking about Tiger Woods and he said he was happy to see a black man hijack a white man’s sport.

It was crowded out by the racism reports in the nfl

This is total garbage. The NHL is rapidly filling with great Black hockey players. The article seems to indicate that this Black player made an obscene gesture to the other bench and got suspended for it. Now, after facing the consequences of his actions, he is crying racism. That might be more credible if it happened before he was unsportsmanlike. And sure, Canada is full of racists. </sarcasm>

I look forward to articles about the racist underrepresentation of Whites in the NFL and the NBA.

Sheesh. How many of these idiots would have loved to have had PJ Suban playing for their team when he hit the scene some years ago?

I’m pretty sure it’s the bow tie. No self-respecting hockey player would wear one.

Having two sisters whose sons played hockey from the time they were five years old, thru grade school, thru high school and played hockey for their respective college teams, you don't make it to the big league without the parents spending literally hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment, rink time for practices, rink time for games, travel lodging for travel tournaments, and the list goes on.
The days of Grant Fuhr (black) and Wayne Gretzky are long gone when these two hockey greats grew up playing hockey on local ponds.
It's all organized now, it's expensive and if you can't afford it and you're black, your kid plays basketball and or football.......

I can’t even imagine how it must feel to be a Leftist when it comes to sports. I just know that an athlete is an athlete and color should never come into it. (Except for the team colors!)
Leftists have such tiny, ugly worlds.

As a post script, the same now goes for organized youth baseball........It's all "ORGANIZED" and I and my fellow senior softball players who grew up playing baseball on scruffy diamonds with special rules such as "right field out" or "pitchers hand", constantly talk about the lack of neighborhood kids playing pickup ball on their local play fields...They are literally non existent.........
It's all organized now and the stupid parents who think their kid will make it to the pros consistently fall prey to the promises of the youth travel teams trying to recruit their kid. And they are willing to fork out over $5,000 over the course of the summer just for their kid to play on that Super Good travel team...........
