Leafs' Black Lives Matter support among Dubas' proudest moments in hockey - Sportsnet.ca

At its best, the NHL’s return offers a sympathetic echo of what normalcy feels like — different and fainter than the normalcy that used to exist, but present enough to be familiar.

It would be easy, here and now as those glimmers of normalcy return, to grow complacent about the issues plaguing the world beyond ice rinks. To escape into the entertainment of sports and turn a blind eye to the work that still needs to be done.general manager Kyle Dubas knows the movement that has defined this moment in history can’t be neglected just because sports are moving closer to their returns.

“And even though we all at times have prided ourselves with being involved with different anti-racism or the Pride Parade or different things. You know, it’s not enough for us just to do those things once a year and think that that’s enough — that we’re doing our part to end the different injustices or prejudices that exist in our society.”

They wore powder-blue masks on their faces, and identical black t-shirts emblazoned, in all caps, with BLACK LIVES MATTER.called it a “player-driven” initiative supported by upper-management. Consider Dubas one of the supporters.

MapleLeafs timandsid Very cool. I'd love to hear what the MapleLeafs are doing beyond these shirts. Really great start 🙏

FAN590 MapleLeafs timandsid Jesus christ, boys, just play hockey.

MapleLeafs timandsid Not a single question about the controversial aspects of BLM? BLM hates and wants to abolish law enforcement. Do the Leafs support that? These Sportsnet puff pieces are embarrassing.

MapleLeafs timandsid Say it, say you are privileged, acknowledge it and then hang your head in shame. Drink in our poisonous nectar of guilt. People are watching so even if you don't mean it, say you are privileged and perhaps they'll leave us alone.

MapleLeafs timandsid Yeah cause they're rich as fuck. White privilege is a racist concept. Just because you're white doesnt mean doors open for you easily. That's for rich people. Plenty of poor people that dont have 'colour'
