He’s not even black! He’s a mix of Pilipino, German, and Romanian. All this BLM shit from him and he doesn’t even rank that high on the oppressed chart.
Born and raised in Regina as well, so much oppression!
Growing up in the 905, I knew a lot of Filipinos who were into hockey. So it was inevitable that Filipinos were going to make the NHL.
If you have a passion for hockey, if you have a natural ability for hockey AND you are willing to work hard, you can make the NHL. The reason why black kids in Canada mostly don't make the NHL is because they are more interested in playing basketball.
You have to be tall to play basketball competitively and black people are not any taller than Northern Europeans despite the big black man stereotype. So a lot of black men who are too short for the NBA have the option to give hockey a try. It's just that they don't gravitate towards the sport when they are young due to disinterest.
I don't buy this meme that expensive hockey equipment is preventing Tyrone and Jamal from playing hockey. Lots of poor French-Canadians in Quebec grew up to be NHLers. Lots of poor whites in fucking rural Saskatchewan wore hand-me-down equipment, skates, sticks from their older siblings. And they made it.
Black people don't find themselves in the NHL because they are mostly not interested in hockey. Whereas black people dominate the NBA because wypipo are not interested in basketball much and black people tend to have short torsos, long legs and long arms (wingspan) relative to their height, making them suitable for basketball.
Being a manlet with a low centre of gravity, I never took basketball seriously. And focused on soccer instead. And with all this black cocks matter shit in the NBA now, I would have hated myself if I was a NBA point guard. Even if best case scenario I ended up making it as a point guard, I would have got fired for refusing to wear a black cocks matter shirt and refusing to kneel for either anthem. I feel sorry for all the white NBA players like Luka Doncic who have to bend the knee for black dick to save their jobs.
"Matt Dumba figured out early in his NHL career that being a minority player in a predominantly white sport carried with it some extra responsibility"
That sounds really scary! I wonder what poor Matt Dumba had to endure as a minority in Canadian hockey? Surely the article will reference some racialized events he was subjected to and not simply start paragraph 2 with some nonsense about Fentanyl Floyd, right guys?
"Dumba helped found the Hockey Diversity Alliance, was called on to give an anti-racism speech when the playoffs began and became the first NHL player to kneel during the U.S. anthem."
WOW!
“I spend hours and hours each week on calls with the Hockey Diversity Alliance and talking about these issues,”
"I think I’m going to be committed to this my whole life.”
I think so too...
Life long hockey fan, have over 100 jerseys. No more, I’ll live without it.
Pro sports needs to die anyway, it's been shit for at least 25 years.
I'm so sick of everything right now. It's been going down this path for a long time but man I never thought it would get this bad....Just play hockey, football, soccer...whatever. I just want to grill.
Yeah i can totally relate. Tired of watching the liberals dismantle my loved ones and friends lives peice by peice. Bills food repairs etc go up but always less work less pay. Ive been unemployed for a few months now and just had a little one over the holiday season.
My mom partially shattered her hip and just found out last week why its so sore when she went in for an Xray. Too poor now to go to the US and the best our shit system can do is a consultation in about 6 months. On opiods now. If shes lucky a hip replacement or amputation in a year. This is just one healthcare nightmare story I have.
Its been a tough summer. Trying to get gardens and infrastructure built on my small farm because it looks like we are going into full commie collapse. I dont actually be a farmer but the future is bleak as fuck.
No vacations for this family :/
This exactly. Everyone is a coiled spring and will let loose at anything. Suicide is up, alcoholism is up, opioid use is up. Our leaders have whipped us into a fearful state over a virus that is slightly more dangerous then the flu. What would happen if we got a real killer like the plagues of old?
I dont think its as much about the flu as people are also on edge about just keeping the fridge full and bills paid etc in an ever shrinking economy.
There are tons of well-off people (mostly white) that are basically commie LARPers. Every community has them.
Teachers don't want to work, doctors don't want to work, most public servants don't want to work (that's why they are public sector to begin with)
...but they still expect to get paid.
As soon as I read that 6 year old thing I thought "and then everyone clapped"
