to suspend all playoff games today. We strongly feel this sends a clear message that human rights take priority over sports.What’s more important, shining a light on social justice, police reform and inequalities of the black and brown community or playing hockey games that generate revenue for a billion dollar industry?

“I just heard that the NBA is going to continue to play [at some point], and in my opinion I think all sports should play because I think the athletes in every sport have a great platform. Just like celebrities do. If you want to keep the issue in the forefront, then these athletes have a great platform. Continue to play, continue to express the message.”
“I’m invested 24/7 on our team, working 20 hours a day, going through video and preparing our group. I don’t do Twitter. I haven’t read a sports article in I don’t know how long, and I haven’t read any type of article in I don’t know how long. So, I guess I’m a hockey nerd.”

lukefoxjukebox Oh good. We can spend more time venerating a child rapist who got called on assaulting a woman and was going for a knife (after being ineffectively tased...hmm... wonder why THAT was ineffective). Great job, Sportsnet. Way to do your homework!
lukefoxjukebox This is not acceptable. Vigneault should resign and head home immediately
