- The National Hockey League has been rocked by two high-profile racism scandals in recent weeks, and while it has condemned both incidents, experts agree it needs to take a dynamic approach and tackle the issue head on.
To avoid the issue turning into a full-blown crisis, experts suggest the NHL must take a stand and that the greatest danger for the league would be to think it will all go away on its own. “When it comes to these issues, posters and buttons and nice language just doesn’t cut it. This has to be embedded in our organizations. The efforts that we make have to become a priority in the way that we teach.”
When asked to comment the Flames said they had nothing further to add at this moment while the NHL referred back to its statement on Tuesday, where it called the alleged behavior “repugnant and unacceptable”.Bob Dorfman, a sports marketing expert at Baker Street Advertising in San Francisco, said because of social media, outrage over some incidents multiplies quickly and the NHL would do best to act swiftly.
During his “Coach’s Corner” segment, Cherry complained about people not wearing poppies - an emblem of remembrance - ahead of the country’s Nov. 11 commemoration of war veterans - in comments that singled out immigrants.
