I bring terrible news this otherwise fine Wednesday morning, and I’d suggest you sit down for this one. Sure, you may be dealing with real problems like inflation and your crashing retirement, but that pales in comparison to this shocking news brought to us by the Associated Press.
According to the National Hockey League’s diversity chief, there are just too many white people in the sport of hockey. She even commissioned a report to prove it. And by golly, she’s going to get to the bottom of this atrocity and right to “fixing the problem.”
You see, unlike the racially balanced sports of basketball, football, and track, hockey is a bastion of systemic racism that has led to an overrepresentation of white people. I mean, yeah, Canada and Russia, with their tiny black populations, are the meccas of the sport and provide most of its players, but that’s no excuse. Truly, diversity can not be achieved until the urban neighborhoods of Miami are equally represented in a sport where you literally play on a sheet of ice.
And I get that the vast majority of black people would rather be playing basketball and football because those sports offer more scholarships, more popularity, and are more lucrative at the pro level. Still, we should force them into hockey like a square peg into a round hole anyway, punishing others in the process, because that’s what diversity demands.
Put succinctly, NHL owners need to be reducing payroll by at least one.
They hired a clueless person to fill a trendy job title. They need to offer early retirement and not refill the job.
Yea whatever. SUNFEST Sunday cancelled. Get down there now b4 every9ne leaves (just like lastyear) to get deals. Earth wind fire tribute band is at 8pm. Discounts galore.
Move the date back to the 3rd week in Sept.
Rickie with ur tiny signs for re election (compared to Paddocks huge signs)….make the change. Auqafish wasnt a good idea and mom nature said so.
Thats a problem? Wow. I thought inflation was a problem….i thought heating my house was a problem…i thought true unemployment numbers….)no no no, not the one thats reported. That number comes from the amount of people who file for unemployment. Doesnt include those who dont.)
But an entertainment sport that is normally played in the upper norther hemisphere (where its cold) and mostly white people live has a problem of too many white people. Wow.
I guess central and southern America has a problem that not enough white people play soccer? I dont think they are saying this have a problem. The USA has an identity problem and making up problems.
You can lead a horse to water, but you cant make them drink.
If you market a job (sport) where u think you have a demographic challenge but no one applies (didnt say qualified thats different) many times, does that mean you have a problems? Do you stop operating? No, you continue. Waste as many resources as you want, doesnt matter. Hell, every NFL team should have the.very best kickers in the world. Since the world sport is soccer. Yet those that play soccer DONT want to play american football.
Problem my ass.
He is in the Wrong Country then so LEAVE !!!!!
He’s talking about simply getting more people interested in hockey. What the hell are you so offended about? Get help.
where all the white people playing hoops?
