Why is hockey the most hostile to social activism/BLM?

16. Uhh..what?

Sure most players and fans are white. And a good chunk of them are foreign...from Canada, Sweden, Russia, Slovania, Norway, etc. To be realistic, they are probably more concerned about their native countries issues than the USA, and they would be right.

It's also the only sport (NHL) where either the US or Canadian anthem is played depending on the venue. Unlike American Football, etc. the NHL is an international sport practiced mostly by North American players and European who want a bigger paycheck. I distinctly remember the "Detroit Five", main line of the Red Wings....all Russian players and they dominated. Most nations without significant snowfall don't participate. Sure, Jamaica has put forward a bobsled team for the Olympics, they are the exception and not the rule. So, why do you expect foreign citizens to kneel at the anthem when the anthem isn't even their country. Having been to a number of hockey games, they just stand in respect...real easy to discern who is a foreign player vs. US.

Oh and there are more players of African descent in the NHL as of late....majority from Canada.
