NHL Commits to Increasing ‘Diversity,’ Reduce Share of White Players, Employees
Breitbart ^ | 10/19/2022 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

Posted on 10/19/2022 11:21:12 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The NHL released a “diversity & inclusion” report on Monday declaring its commitment to implement hiring practices related to “racial demographics,” “gender identity,” and “sexual orientation.”

“We are working to better understand and accelerate our engagement across all layers of diversity – including nationality, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and religion – and their nuances and intersections,” NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman wrote in the report’s introduction.

Ok, reduce the number of black players in the NFL first.

And the NBA.

Affirmative action “diversity” hockey. That should be a big seller. They’ve been pimping homosexuality for the past few years. They screwed up NASCAR now the bass turds are moving on to hockey and the hosers are dumb enough to buy into the scam.

Just what we need, a white puck on white ice. That’s not hockey, it’s camouflage tactics.

I think the NBA should pitch in and reduce the number of black players in order to increase diversity.

Oops. Did I say that out loud?

Not sure why blacks are allowed to play hockey or basketball as they were invented by white men.

Isn’t cultural appropriation bad?

Translucent puck with translucent led embedded that flashes once every 30 seconds.

It never stops until they’ve taken all your money, married your daughters off to ferals and then put you and your sons in a grave.

Half of the black players in the NBA should trade places with white NHL players.

Got the idea from the NBA which got rid of enough black players to mirror the 14% demographic in the United States.

Oh wait, that didn’t happen.

Only works against the other way.

From what I remember at the time, the story making rounds about Gary Bettman is that he never watched a single hockey game in his life before he was hired as the commissioner of the NHL.

One of the greatest moments in modern NHL history took place during the 1995 Stanley Cup finals. The New Jersey Devils, who would eventually sweep the Detroit Red Wings in an epic upset, were involved in a dispute with the state about their lease at the Meadowlands Arena, and Bettman was allegedly pushing to get the team relocated to Nashville.

I have to give him credit for showing up at the arena and doing an interview on live TV. LOL.

"Bettman Sucks! Bettman Sucks!"

It’s actually a much better game right now, but there is no character to the league anymore and there are no longer any iconic, colorful players who really enhance its appeal for serious fans.
