Do they at least kneel during the anthem in support of BLM?

nah. individuals should be welcome to protest, but the league itself is not American enough. it's based in Canada. it's being played in Canada. only a quarter of the players are American. and almost none of the players playing right now aren't white.

imo, it would come off worse to not play than to play, as a league. but allow the players to decide for themselves.

There are more Europeans than Americans in the NHL. There are more Canadians than Americans in the NHL. No NHL team plays in the state of Wisconsin, which were the teams in the NBA and MLB that triggered tonight's boycott. These are at least reasonable reasons why they didn't immediately follow along tonight.

You do realize not just Wisconsin-area games were postponed, right?

All of the WNBA, the NBA playoffs the MLS games that hadnt started, Mariners/Padres, and Giants/Dodgers all werent played either.

But its ultimately up to the players to decide if they want to sit or not.

Some players have. A bunch of Dallas players did a few weeks ago, and they were damn near crucified.

NHL fans are for the most part privileged whiteys. Think the backlash for NASCAR except worse.

And honestly, that's okay too. I just wouldn't expect the NHL of all sports to carry on the same approach to a systemic American-relevant issue like this as the NBA would.

There shouldn't be any kind of outrage or bitching AT ALL, whether there are postponements or not.

Yes, that's why I said triggered. The Bucks and the Brewers were the first teams of each respective sport to boycott their game tonight, then others followed.

I get that some players dont want to separate sports from politics. If they dont want to play, then thats their call. But some probably just want to play and keep sports pure in that sense. I remember when people criticized Michael Jordan for not taking more of a political stance on issues back in the Nineties. He didnt seem to care. He was just there to win rings.

even without postponements, has the nhl done anything else? they look really bad atm

i understand why they don't want to spam 'BLM' everywhere the way the NBA and MLB have but at the same time their inability to even say BLM is disconcerting

This is kind of how I feel about it all. If athletes choose to use their platform to bring awareness to something, by all means it's great that they can do that.

But they are in no way obligated to do so.

Why don't they plaster abortion percentages on major networks? Surely that would drum up controversy in the amount of unborn children getting murdered inside the womb.

The NHL and its players have done quite a bit actually to address not only this but the George Floyd situation as well

It's just that the NHL isn't allowing social and political stuff to dominate the headlines over the actual game like the NBA is. They realize it's NHL and not CNN.
