As a hockey fan, this doesn't bother me.

NHL player Joel Ward: I may kneel for national anthem due to rampant racism in hockey
Well frick...any chance I had of choosing the NHL as my "non-political" sport of choice just went out the window.

Thabo Sefolosha says hello. He's not American and we saw what New York's finest did to him. Racism in this country has demonstrated that you don't have to be from here to be a victim of it. If they've experienced it here, they should have every right to respond to it in a way that they feel will best address the issue whether they are a citizen or not as Thabo did.
In addition to this, I can see folks on this board telling Dr. King Jr. in the 50s and 60s not march, kneel, speak, or protest because it will not solve anything.....what good will it do, what's the end game Dr. King?

Didn't even realize there was one black player in the NHL let alone 30

He must've wanted a lot of ghetto streets named after him.

There was an actual endgame. He wanted voting rights and an end to Jim Crow laws. Very specific policy changes.

Wait, Canadians are racist?

Kid from Barbados moves to Canada, plays a Canadian sport and is pissed at the American National Anthem.
That is impressively asinine, I must say

At the Stars game tonight, there were two black guys in the penalty box at once. I'm sure we'll be seeing the outrage on CNN tomorrow morning

This is so freaking stupid
It’s not changing anything fir the better and further dividing
It’s like Morgan Freeman said.. the best way to get rid of racism is to stop talking about it.
Racist people are ignorant and this isn’t going to change a thing.

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
And therefore he's going to disrespect the US anthem
Athletes are just too stupid to have an opinion

Look at all these POS posts trying to excuse the racism Ward endured because he's Canadian. White privilege strikes again.

He doesn't have to play hockey.
For the record, if he kneels, he's going to regret that shite.
Fans will boo him incessantly. Not to mention the players will make sure he's hit a few extra times.
But go ahead, kneel. That's your right as a Canad... Wait, can Canadians kneel during anthems?

Did you miss the part about Boston?

When did the term 'racism' get redefined? I'm genuinely curious.

Is what he described not the standard definition of racism?

Kneeling for O' Canada? If it's the SSB then who gives a shite?

A Canadian using the US for employment, then disgracing it as racist, and taking a kneel to a flag who's country isn't even yours, or even where your victimhood began.
So you think he hasn't dealt with racism in a predominantly white sport?

Is he talking about OUR national anthem or his? Racism or not, it's pretty damn rude to show up in someone else's country and disrespect them like that.
