I can& #39;t even read the article about Arizona Coyotes top draft pick and his racist abuse of a classmate. Physically, I cannot, it hurts my chest. Why on earth are we doing all this work in anti-racism in hockey if folks are just going to accept deplorable behavior w/o consequence?
Doesn& #39;t *enter professional hockey org here* realize that BIPOC and LGBT fans, women, nonwhite folks, are TIRED and SICK and holding onto our love of hockey by a thread? Keep your scraps. If you don& #39;t want our money and patronage, fucking say it with your whole chest!
I& #39;m upset.
Mostly I& #39;m upset for y& #39;all. Hearts are breaking because shit like this keeps happening and I see my fellow BIPOC fans walking away from this amazing sport because the culture is toxic and, the fucked up thing is, I get it. I& #39;m in too deep, but I get it.
And to that, I say do what is healthy for your mind, body and soul...but also, we can& #39;t let these racists have something so cool as hockey!! Personally, I enjoy fucking up a racist& #39;s day by being Black and fabulous.
What is the point of a committees and pledges if the skill level of racists/misogynists/homophobes on the ice is more important than how they treat another human being? Why would marginalized folks want to be associated with any organized sport that operates that way?
