[Rated R™]

Heard it on Sportsnet, pretty sad how NHL fans in America treat Black athelets in their sports teams.

 

[SPCDRI]

SPECTACULAR!

 

[Arya Dark]

I'm pretty sure that type of thing happens in every sports league everywhere in the world.

 

[Catalanotto]

This isn't really surprising because this world is full of fucking idiots who are nothing more than keyboard warriors. They wouldn't have said it to his face.

The internet makes it too easy to say anything you want and avoid a fist to the jaw.

 

[Stax Classic]

The internet is a bunch of anti-social racists, long known.

 

[The Marine]

I don't take people like that seriously. Really, this is the only way they are tough.

 

[Nafstem]

Not surprised. The internet, especially Twitter, gives people a platform to say whatever they want with pretty much no consequences.

Still alot of that in football today, especially in eastern europe

Yup, but especially in Hockey where the minority of African-American Players are lower than any other minority in an other major North American Sport.

It also happens a lot when race comes into play in Hockey, Football (UK) or any leagues that have a diverse roster.
