Gary Bettman, the Commissioner of the NHL is behind this. There seems to be a recent surge of members of a certain religion pushing racism and bigotry through CRT and ESG.

still waiting for something to be said about the over representation of one type in the nba....

IMO, they made rule changes to benefit that one type, and also made the game so that traditional basketball skills...dribbling, passing, free throw shooting, two point shots, strategy and DEFENSE are just not encouraged....

Unknown to me, there are two NHL franchises in Florida: the Florida Panthers (Sunrise, FL) and the Tampa Bay Lightning.

When Lin Manuel Miranda wanted to recast the play Hamilton, his ad in the NYT specified ‘Minorities only’. I decided I would never see that play. Discrimination? Of course. But when I am being discriminated against, I can ignore these ugly people.

I thought each team had numerous scouts to do just this. Maybe they should all be fired or “re-educated”. /s

The NHL that had fewer helmets and only five minutes for fighting was the more polite NHL. I can’t stand the loud music and obnoxious fog or train horns and other nonsense aimed at the ADD crowd today.

And you’re exactly why I stopped donating here; the rampant anti-Semitism that a few people here continue to try to slip in. Congrats to you and keep up the work Adolph! Only a complete moron thinks Judaism is what is behind all this.

Orthodox Judaism is by far the fastest growing sector of the Jewish population, and they are probably more anti-alphabet than you are.

"...a recent surge of members of a certain religion pushing racism and bigotry..."

And just what religion are you referring to?

Isn’t it racist to ask the real racists to not act racist?
Asking for Corn Pop.

Amazing how the Trumpites can turn an article like this about what a great and courageous thing DeSantis is doing, into a hit piece on the source of this news, National Review because of their anti Trump agenda.

I guess if I was in that loyal cult member of the Trumpites, I’d do that same thing. DeSantis is awesome.

To me, the NHL is telling the world that these “minorities” have to have special treatment and help in order to become a player. Why? Anyone and I mean anyone can be what ever they want in this country if they want it bad enough. It takes desire, practice, ambition and wanting it bad enough to do the work. An there is enough help out there for people to ask for and receive what they need. It is wrong to ban someone from participating in recruitment because they aren’t a “minority”. It’s called racism. Isn’t that what they claim they want to end? This is not the way to do it.

No. Kim Davis, the NHL's executive vice president of social impact, growth initiatives and legislative affairs.

Every major corporation in America has been tasked with hiring a "Corporate Diversity Officer" --typically a black woman, to "Have a boardroom that looks like America." Her job is to bring diversity to the NHL.

Whenever we see companies diving into woke politics and embracing decisions that hurt their bottom line and drive away customers, it is almost always these diversity officers who are behind it, knowing nothing about how to actually run a business and hired solely to help a company's ESG score.
