"I know why I knelt and it wasn’t a sign of disrespect by any means," Dumba said on a conference call with reporters Sunday,"It was to shed light on the people who’ve lived through injustice and oppression, especially in my home state of Minnesota."
Malcolm Subban of the Blackhawks and Darnell Nurse of the Oilers, both Black players as well, placed their hands on Dumba's shoulders while he knelt. Dumba's lone regret, he confessed, was not remaining on a knee for the Canadian national anthem,"O Canada." "There needs to be a lot of light that has to be shed on what is happening in Canada and the oppression First Nations have felt for hundreds of years," he said. "I have First Nations and Aboriginal families that have lived it and I was disappointed looking back on it."
Going forward, Dumba will no longer be kneeling and will instead raise his right arm in the air — for both anthems.
What an appropriate last name for an anarchist, racist and fascist supporting fool. Supporting BLM is supporting nothing good. Treating others with respect is the only answer. BLM is not the answer.
Another attention seeking do nothing
What are the ratings for the start ups so far?
Dumba’ss

jackass canadian kneels for the american but not canadian anthem and they want us to believe its not a symbol of disrepect
If he likes Canada then he should move there. Kneeling is disrespect towards America. He doesn't want disrespect cause he isn't perfect. America doesn't deserve disrespect cause she's imperfect. Maybe, we need to ban respecting him since he is doing that to America. MM arr
