I’ll break down that paragraph that you provide for the purpose of brevity and conciseness (with none of it being a surprise to me), so here you go...What were his teammates doing? Nothing

Okay. Let’s go here with it. What about the many other times that I have read about black hockey players being racially targeted by fans? I don’t watch hockey. I do know that this happens regularly and nothing, or little, is done. If something substantive was done it would stop.

There are fewer than 30 black players currently on NHL rosters. We need to start showing up to hockey games to show our love & support to

I’m born and raised in Chicago , and there are plenty of them !! Growing up here it was very segregated by neighborhoods. It’s gotten a little better, but you all hear the crime statistics.
