New in PJ Media:
The National Hockey League (NHL) is so worried about being racist that it ended up being more racist than Bull Connor, but lucky for the hockey moguls, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office was there to save the league from itself. Thanks to DeSantis, sanity has prevailed, and the NHL’s planned racist event in Fort Lauderdale has now been opened up to people of all races. The type of racism the NHL was practicing, however, is not only acceptable but favored on the Left, and so we are certain to see much, much more of it, despite the fact that the racists lost this time.
It all started when the NHL scheduled an event called the “Pathway to Hockey Summit” for Feb. 2, during the 2023 NHL All-Star Game festivities, offering help to “diverse job seekers who are pursuing careers in hockey.” As is so often the case when it comes to the Left, “diverse” doesn’t mean actual differences among people, but simply that the event was open only to the Left’s designated victim groups. According to a Fox News report on Saturday, the league posted this notice on LinkedIn, and later deleted it when the firestorm began: “Participants must be 18 years of age or older, based in the U.S., and identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability. Veterans are also welcome and encouraged to attend.”
So the NHL wants to give you a job if you are disabled or gay or are a man who thinks you’re a woman, or if you’re black or Hispanic, but if you’re an able-bodied white guy who likes girls and loves hockey and would jump at the chance to work in the National Hockey League, you might as well stay home. What does being disabled or gay or trans or black have to do with working for the NHL? Absolutely nothing, of course, except that the league can then virtue-signal about its commitment to “diversity” and “inclusion.”
The NHL’s madness goes back to last October (at least), when the Associated Press stated that a 24-page report that was presented to the league’s Board of Governors and distributed to multiple internal committees showed that fully “83.6% of the NHL’s workforce is white and that men make up nearly 62% of the total.” Even worse, “more than 90% of players and nearly all coaches and officials are white.” The NHL did not receive this as a simple statement of fact kki but as an indictment.
There is more. Read the rest here.

More evidence that CTE comes about not merely thru repetitive concussive physical damage but even from ‘progressive’ engagement on a regular basis

Ah, the bad old days when people were hired because they could do the job and not because they have a mental illness, the “correct skin colour” or anything else that made them “acceptable” to the left.

Anybody else totally done with the woke NHL?
OLD GUY says
All of this woke has turned me off to professional sports. Sadly we all pay the sports tax every time we purchase a product whether we like sports or not. The cost of advertising runs the price of every product we purchase up considerably. And while these teams, owners and players rake in millions they disrespect the country and people who are supporting them.
