Leafs won't give Robertson a chance...is TML organization racist?
did you miss the part where current Leaf Wayne Simmonds said that he'd have to think hard about putting his kids in hockey because of the racism??
Not saying this of the Leaf organization - He's talking about hockey culture.
Just so you know, you're responding to a person who belongs to a racialized group and I didn't hesitate to enrol my kids in hockey.
Its a real shame that Wayne is going to deprive his daughter from all the positive experiences from hockey. If thats the case, he should consider keeping her out of other team sports, as the same racist hockey players that might traumatize her are most likely multi-sport athletes and will likely cross paths with her on the pitch or court or field somewhere.
Its even a greater shame that he is teaching his daughter that she is a victim and that her ethnicity is preventing her from achieving. A far cry from what he said back in 2020.
“...“That day, I started thinking about my future, and I allowed myself to believe that the colour of my skin wasn’t a barrier and that if I gave the game my all, I could play in the NHL, too....”

I think Wayne has forgotten about all the support he and his family received from the wonderful people who represent hockey culture.
"[Toronto Aces] coach Mike Hutton, he made deals with my husband," Wanda Simmonds said. "He would lower the rate and exempt us from the tryout fees and stuff like that because we had three other boys we were taking care of as well. He would help out that way. And there's Ann and Mike Herron … they would come pick Wayne up. I would call Ann from work and say, 'I can't make it, can you grab Wayne from school and take him to the tournament and I'll meet you there later?' ... We had a lot of people, a lot of good friends, who would be there when we couldn't be or until we got there. We depended a lot on Wayne's teammates' parents and they were great with us.

You realize that these are all from the past and don't fit the narrative that he had to come from the slums and fight his way into the rink and survive atrocities that rival those of a nuclear holocaust, don't you?
Atrocities like what? Are you referring to all the racist teammates who drove him to the rink and his racist coach who reduced his fees? And one of his closest friends, Claude Giroux, being racist? Does Giroux know that Simmonds thinks hes a racist??
Thanks to social media, virtue signally has gotten out of control...and your so gullible you've swallowed it hook line and sinker.
I guess you've never heard of sarcasm.
