The NHL Says ‘Hockey Is For Everyone.’ Black Players Aren’t So Sure. - Organizations of players and fans are trying to change the makeup and attitude of the overwhelmingly white league.

[FrickinFrackinFruckin]

Just like blacks can't swim, they can't skate either! Mostly because like everything else they refuse to fucking learn anything and expect everything to be handed or done for them.

Yeah, hockey is for everyone. Except liberal retards who think they're white saviors, they can go watch ice dancing or whatever Yaoi on Ice fetish shit.

You don't slam dunk the puck or do end zone dances in hockey, why would niggas even want to play? Also, being 6'5" isn't really a plus on ice so there's that.

Well, you can FIGHT.
(tbh, niggers can't fight.)

Also that movie has the mom from A Christmas Story's bare tits.

And yet, they might complain then the ice dancers are too white and they'll ask to remove from streaming the Peanuts special "She's a good skate, Charlie Brown".

Groups like the HDA just want to grab power wherever they can, in this case the NHL. Luckily the NHL didn't seem to play ball (puck?) this time. Propping up your attempted corporate coup with a nice-sounding cause that makes people look bad to oppose is the premier strategy for sociopaths in the current climate. I don't follow sports but it's the same story as many other industries.

Does the NHL reject black players from entering the league?

Is the answer no? OK, then what is the problem?

Answer: A generation born between 1981 and 1996.

Not enough random bullshit consultants who wave their hands at problems and then charge a fortune for proclaiming something that can be proclaimed by any idiot with a twitter account.

Hockey is kind of legitimately racist, I mostly mean the puckbunnies and some of the more progressive referees and media members. The people hired to address this will just contribute to more of those people being involved in the league.

I've seen a couple cases of teammates girlfriends trying to stop them from hanging out with their black teammate, harassing the black teammate, harassing the black teammate's girlfriend, and not mild harassment either.

Bullshit.

Yeah well, I don't see a whole lot of black swimmers, of chess players.

Immigrants and minorities in Canada want the national sport to be changed from Hockey because it "doesn't represent Canada's diverse ideals"

Why would they replace Hockey as Canada's national sport, when it's lacrosse already?

 

[I Love Beef]

Blacks have more of an affinity for sports like basketball because well, you know, lower income households. All you need is a ball and some hoops. Football is another, but that's because that's usually because they can get the school to pay for their equipment or they play flag or full contact without gear. Golf, hockey? Tough shit, you need money to get the gear. I remember blacks being in baseball, but over the years, I don't even think they play it anymore.

Now then you mention it, we don't see lot of latino swimmers and latino chess players as well.

This reeks of some attempt to later prop up some mediocre chump as a hero. Black people go for whatever sport they choose. A lot of the time it is based on locality, like most sports. Getting a black hockey player means that the local area has hockey-oriented culture. This isn’t hard to figure out. You want more of X group involved in something, build a center for it in the local area and take care of it. Kill the crab bucket mentality when someone actually shows skill, and presto! Wait, I just outlined an honest way to elevate a community without graft of any kind, this ain’t gonna happen, is it?

Yep. Consultants want a problem to stay simply because they have job security. If racism disappeared overnight in north America, these types would have their incomes reduced by a substantial margin.

 

[draggs]

They dont say black fans

Because there aren't any

Because blacks arent interested in hockey

And what is wrong with that, why does hockey have to get on its knees and open wide for people who have no interest in hockey getting on its knees and opening wide?

 

[Ahriman]

Not the case in Latin American countries, plenty of swimmers and chess players. I'd argue that it's something specific to black Americans, not being interested in such activities.

The Negro Hooligan League doesn't have the same ring as the Negro Felon League.

 

[Freedom Fries]

It's almost like you tend to play the sports your parents did or something...

Just like blacks can't swim, they can't skate either! Mostly because like everything else they refuse to fucking learn anything and expect everything to be handed or done for them.

Blacks can definitely skate. Lots of blacks around me rollerskate in the park and as far as I can tell it translates OK

I mean there are good black hockey players. Like PK Subban, and Evander Kane.

But they're Canadian. The rare Black American are pretty much scrub utility players. An inner city kid from Philly is not going to compete(development wise)with a rural youth from Minnesota...

The latter has access to far better pee wee programs, frozen ponds etc. That kid's skating and puck handling ability is going to light years ahead of the former...
