Frech , wie es gleich wieder anders dargestellt wird von manchen Plattformen....

Als wäre die NHL nur ansatzweise interessiert an der Rassismusdebatte! Wenn sich da nicht bereits Spieler wie Aliu, Kadri, Kane, Dumba und viele andere, für die blacklivesmatter Bewegung und gegen Rassismus im Hockey ausgesprochen hätten gäbs wahrscheinlich nicht einmal die #blacklivesmatter Banner in den Hallen.

Zitat von orli

Warum beziehen die Stars nicht Stellung und nennen das Problem beim Namen Bzw. geben ihren Fans eine Wahlempfehlung?

Wer glaubt denn, dass ihm die Gewalt bei den Wahlen hilft?

Tun sie!

Warum sollten sie irgendjemandem eine Empfehlung geben?

Das ist ja das schöne an einer Demokratie, jeder darf selbst entscheiden.

Von "Wem" sprichst du und was hat Gewalt mit dieser Aktion zu tun?

Hier die vergangenen Stunden in der Bubble und die PK zusammengefasst:

Dozens of NHL players packed into the press conference room in Edmonton to announce the postponement of NHL playoff games scheduled for Thursday and Friday.

Players came to the decision after pro sports leagues across North America walked out from games on Wednesday to protest social injustice following the shooting of Jacob Blake.

Thursday afternoon Ryan Reaves, Nazem Kadri, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Jason Dickinson and Bo Horvat stood in front of their microphones, but their NHL teammates stood behind them, both literally and figuratively.

“I think if you look around this room there’s a lot of White athletes in here, and I think that’s the statement that’s being made right now,” Vegas’ Reaves said. “It’s great that the NBA did this, and the MLB and WNBA. They have a lot of black players in those leagues. But for all these athletes in here to take a stand and say, ‘You know what? We see a problem too, and we stand behind you.’

“I go to war with these guys, and I hate their guts on the ice, but I couldn’t be more proud. The statement they made today is something that’s going to last.”

After the NHL held games Wednesday while other leagues walked out, Reaves wrestled with his thoughts that night in his hotel room in Edmonton, unsure of what the morning would bring.

“Am I really going to walk out on my team, and be the only guy,” he said, “Or are there going to be a couple guys?”

Instead, Reaves awoke to a text from Lightning defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk, who said he had players in the Eastern Conference bubble in Toronto that wanted to talk.

“I think we felt that we took our time and were able to process this as a whole and speak as a group of players and make the right decision and today I think unify us as a group to realize that any Black player in this league, any Black player who is a kid coming up playing hockey can feel they have a voice that the NHL and the sport itself is a safe place and a place that obviously is a predominantly White sport, they feel alienated,” Shattenkirk said. “But they have the support of every single one of us. That’s what we’re striving to achieve here is inclusion, and making sure everyone feels welcome in the sport of hockey.”

Reaves then received a text from Vancouver players showing support as well.

“I think it was more powerful that the conversation started with White players on other teams wanting to talk, and I think that’s the most powerful thing that happened today,” Reaves said. “You see us all coming together, all opponents.”

The in-person conversations began between Golden Knights and Canucks players, but eventually spread across all eight teams remaining in the playoffs.

“I’m proud of them for taking the time to get together, not just with the players here in our bubble but also the bubble out East,” Colorado coach Jared Bednar said. “I think when you get together as a group it sends a stronger message.”

Shortly after the players spoke, the Minnesota Wild’s Matt Dumba pointed out that the decision was pushed for by the players.

“This must be clear! This is not a league mandated action this has been solely driven by its PLAYERS and damn I’m proud to stand with them!” Dumba tweeted.

The Golden Knights-Canucks and Flyers-Islanders series were scheduled to play Game 3 of those second round series on Thursday. Game 4s of the Lightning-Bruins and Avalanche-Stars were scheduled for Friday.

“The NHL supports the players’ decision and will reschedule those four games beginning Saturday and adjust the remainder of the second round schedule accordingly,” the NHL Players’ Association wrote in a release Thursday.

“Black and Brown communities continue to face painful experiences. The NHL and NHLPA recognize that much work remains to be done before we can play an appropriate role in discussion centered on diversity, inclusion and social justice. We understand that the tragedies involving Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others require us to recognize this moment. We pledge to work to use our sport to influence positive change in society.”

NHL players and the league faced questions about their decision to play on Wednesday when games in the NBA, WNBA, MLB and MLS were all postponed.

“It happened really fast,” said Avalanche forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who played in Wednesday night’s game. “I don’t want to give the blame to anybody, but by the time we got to the rink, games were on, and the news came out that the NBA postponed. I feel like after reflecting on it, and us getting together, this is the best response we could’ve had.”

According to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, more than 100 NHL players in the bubbles had talks with Evander Kane and Dumba, both members of the Hockey Diversity Alliance. The organization has a mission “to eradicate racism and intolerance in hockey.”

The HDA released a statement Thursday morning, saying “The Hockey Diversity Alliance is deeply saddened by the Jacob Blake shooting – yet another example of police brutality against African Americans that continues to go unabated and unaddressed in the communities where NHL teams play.

“Earlier today, the HDA formally requested that Commissioner (Gary) Bettman and the NHL suspend all playoff games today to allow players and fans to reflect on what happened and send a message that human rights must take priority over sport.”

Golden Knights coach Peter DeBoer coached Kane in San Jose and said he thinks Kane is proud of the players’ decision today.

“Evander has been way out in front of this,” DeBoer said. “He’s been discussing this for years, and I know he’s really proud of what’s going on today with the NHL. He knows, and everybody in this room earlier, knows that this one act isn’t going to change anything. But hopefully it shines a brighter light on systemic racism.”

The NHL plans to restart play on Saturday, but an updated schedule has not been released yet.

Mir grad wurscht ob ich diesen TheAthletic Artikel hier teilen darf oder ned.

Da bin ich ganz bei dir.

Es ist leider nicht so einfach in den USA das Rassenproblem in den Griff zu bekommen.

Die Schuld trifft beide Seiten. Leider macht man sich mit solchen Aussagen unbeliebt doch es ist wahr.

Die Fronten sind zu festgefahren. Traurig ist das eine Aktion wie die mit Jacob Blake manchen Menschen gerade in die Hände spielt und der Vorfall benutzt wird.

Die USA bräuchte hier einen Neustart des Kapitels. Wer diesen Neustart herbei führen soll ist mir ein Rätsel. Der Donald sicher nicht.

Es bräuchte jemanden dem man es von Herzen abnimmt das es ihm nicht um Hautfarbe sondern um den Menschen geht.

Es gibt leider auf beiden Seiten so viele Hardliner die das leider gar nicht möchten.

Dieses Thema spaltet die Nation so dermaßen - das zu glätten ist mehr als heavy. Ich lausche gerne den Erzählungen und Meinungen unserer Freunde aus den Staaten. Auch viele gute Dokus zeigen das der Weg aus diesem Jahrzehnte langem Schlamassel nur über Vergebung, Neustart, Vertrauen und vor allem miteinander funktionieren kann.

Ich würde mir wünschen das es endlich jemand schafft.
