re: NHL player Joel Ward: I may kneel for national anthem due to rampant racism in hockey

quote:

---

Ward, a Canadian player who’s the son of Barbadian immigrants, felt the sting of racism the first time he laced up the skates to play in a youth hockey game as a nine or 10-year-old in Toronto. Kids were calling him names and making racial slurs toward him from the stands.

So...he should kneel for Oh Canada!, right?

---

Racism followed Ward to the NHL and reared its ugly head when he scored a series-clinching goal for the Washington Capitals in overtime of Game 7 against the Boston Bruins in 2012.

So...the anthem should be protested bwcause of a bunch of fricking ignorant Southies?

Glad to see stupid athletes aren't limited to the NFL and NBA.
