Should have known the Cucknadians would eventually infect hockey with their bullshit.
George Floyd was not a tragedy. It was natural selection.
Jacob Blake was not a tragedy. It was unbridled arrogance and stupidity.
Breonna Taylor was indeed a botched raid. However, it was not racially motivated.
I can't really blame them, they just assume progressives are the least racist and not the most and there's a decent chunk of the Robin DiAngelo types in hockey.
I will say that puck bunnies are extremely racist if you've been in those kind of circles, same with the moms pushing progressive language. Exposure to them can definitely change your perspective.
STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYERS' ASSOCIATION AND NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
After much discussion, NHL Players believe that the best course of action would be to take a step back and not play tonight's and tomorrow's games as scheduled. The NHL supports the Players' decision and will reschedule those four games beginning Saturday and adjust the remainder of the Second Round schedule accordingly.
Black and Brown communities continue to face real, painful experiences. The NHL and NHLPA recognize that much work remains to be done before we can play an appropriate role in a discussion centered on diversity, inclusion and social justice.
We understand that the tragedies involving Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others require us to recognize this moment. We pledge to work to use our sport to influence positive change in society.
The NHLPA and NHL are committed to working to foster more inclusive and welcoming environments within our arenas, offices and beyond.

Yes, break everyone's pro-sports addiction.
That's such a good plan.
I don't believe the players are actually backing this, although I expect to be proven wrong.
