“We are expected to play at a high level, give maximum effort and hold each other accountable. We hold ourselves to that standard, and in this moment, we are demanding the same from our lawmakers and law enforcement.” [Milwaukee Bucks’s Players Statement]

@Sportsnet: “The statement they’ve made today is something that’s going to last. These two days aren’t going to fix anything, but the conversations and the statement that has been made is very powerful, especially coming from this league.” - Ryan Reaves

best of Hotel X tweets that sent me to an early grave this morning. bonus:

Look at everything that white men in hockey media (especially Don Cherry) have said about PK Subban and how he gets criticized more than any white player. Pay attention to the fact that he gets boo’d far more often in random away games because the fans “don’t like him, but it has nothing to do with his race”

Look at how young black men like Josh Ho-Sang and Anthony Duclair get labeled as having “attitude problems” as a justification for why they aren’t getting chances in the NHL

Auston Matthews got chosen every single time the Leafs got “randomly” drug tested his rookie year

JT Brown received death threats when he silently raised his fist to protest police brutality while standing on the bench for the anthem 

K’Andre Miller’s zoom call got hacked and the chat was spammed with the n-word. Hawks fans were removed from a game for racially taunting Devante Smith-Pelly

The Chicago Blackhawks, a team with a racist caricature as their logo, still exists in the league and the players routinely vote it as the best logo/jersey in the league
