North America is so racist that Matt Dumba made it to the NHL. All that oppression right?
and Grant Fuhr, Jarome Iginla, Donald Brashear, Evander Kane, Wayne Simmonds, Dustin Byfuglien, Devante Smith-Pelley, Joel Ward, Mike Grier, Anson Carter, Chris Stewart, Johnny Oduya, Kyle Okposo, Ryan Reaves, Val James, Ray Neufeld, Ray Emery, Kevin Weeks....
Willie O'Ree broke the race barrier. He is a man I can't help but respect for what he went through. Still, when I look at black players in the NHL I see Grant Fuhr in the 80s, a legend of the game, and Jarome Iginla, a great player and hero of Canada at the 2010 Olympics. We revere our best regardless of race.
The assholes who throw bananas on the ice should be banned forever, and i have sympathy for the players who have to deal with that. Racism sucks, but that doesn't mean we're all responsible for the mouth breathing losers who do that shit.
Holy fuck, Iginla. What a great player.
His assist to Crosby for the Golden Goal was epic
You forgot Georges Laraque and Freddie Brathwaite (both ex-Oilers)
He isn't even black. He's half-Filipino, half-German.
Were none of the black players willing to insult their flag, their teammates, their coaches, their cities and their fans?
This is all just bizarre.
