Black Hockey Player Needs Police Escort Because Of Racism At NHL Games
But Givani Smith was suspended for giving the middle finger.

“It’s heartbreaking to be honest. He shouldn’t have to endure it,” Red Wings general manager Mike McKenzie told the Waterloo Region Record. “[Smith] did a good job of turning the other way. I think the unfortunate part — and it pains me to say this — is that he’s probably used to it by now. He’s probably heard things before, which is brutal.”

Smith, 20, was suspended from an Ontario Hockey League playoff game last week “for giving the middle finger to the opposing bench, but before and after that incident he was subjected to racial slurs and threats, according to his team,” ESPN reported. Considering all of the savage violence in hockey, Smith’s suspension for flipping off an opposing player is questionable at best.

Giving the middle finger “sparked a series of racially charged comments on social media,” the Waterloo Region Record wrote. “One troglodyte reportedly sent a photo to Smith’s personal Facebook account with the caption reading ‘Hockey N***er and another sent a death threat.”

As a result, Smith required a police escort from the airport. He watched Monday’s Game 7 from the press box with a security guard outside of his door, all because of racist hockey fans.

Sadly, this is nothing new. Devante Smith-Pelly of the Washington Capitals dealt with racial taunts earlier this year and Wayne Simmonds of the Philadelphia Flyers has been open about racism on the ice. Hopefully, the NHL and the Ontario Hockey League can find better ways to handle racism — instead of suspending a Black player who had a human reaction to being called the N-word while on the ice.

A sport is sport, please remember black folks played Hockey before white folks phased us out of it

In 1895, The Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes was formed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This was Twenty-five years before the Negro Baseball Leauges in the United States, and twenty-two years before the birth of the National Hockey League. The Colored League would emerge as a premier force in Canadian hockey and supply the resilience necessary to preserve a unique culture which exists to this day. Unfortunately their contributions were conveniently ignored, or simply stolen, as white teams and hockey officials, influenced by the black league, copied elements of the black style or sought to take self-credit for black hockey innovations. Black Ice is the first written record of the Colored Hockey League in the Maritimes.

yea I see what you mean

In a way he's like a modern Jackie Robinson breaking the racial barriers in Hockey

 

[I Really Mean It]

Why are cacs so demonic? Is it inherent? Black people can be doing something entirely innocuous, minding their business and infringing on no one's well being, yet these people will exhibit evil as if it's a reflex to the mere sight of a black person.

nikka have you seen hocky them cacs be fist fighting on ice tryna kill each other just to smack a lil ass puck into a net

That shyt is demonic breh
I ain't knocking the man for getting paid but he needs security just to leave the airport

And he's the only black player on an all white team who just gave some inbred cac the finger and was suspended

When there's cacs tryna use the sharp part of the their skates to kill other players laid out on the ice who just get put in a little box

I could see if it was an all black hockey team cuzz then they could look out for each other but I'm lookin out for brehs safety
I know them hockey referees are all

THIS WAS THE SAME FOR LITERALLY EVERY SPORT AT SOME POINT . WE SHOULD BE RALLYING AROUND HIM INSTEAD OF BREAKING HIM DOWN.
