After Subban said he would not kneel during the anthem (and yes I know he’s Canadian) I had hoped that would set the tone. Yes, the number of blacks in the NHL is miniscule compared to the NFL. Regardless of sport, it’s frustrating.

I agree. I don’t think the main team spectator sports have any oasis in all this but hopefully in the case of the NHL this will be all that happens. The NHL is the weakest monetarily of the team sports by far and they have little margin for errors like this.
