Bartolo Colon. Throwing a no hitter on Jackie Robinson Day. This has to be emotional for Bartolo considering he played with Jackie on the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers.

Hear me and hear me good, my thoughts aside on anthems at sporting events if you had any issue in the comments with O Canada being performed in Punjabi for South Asian Heritage Night in Winnipeg your racism is absolutely disgusting.
To the fan who asked me as I was leaving Rogers Place "hey man where you from Africa?? Kenya?" just know that crap IS NOT FUNNY no matter if you thought it was to try and make your buddy laugh. Guy also wouldn't get out of my face as I was walking away until his pal grabbed him
During the Vegas-Edmonton highlight on SportsCenter, John Anderson jokes about Zach Whitecloud's name, saying it's a "great name if you're a toilet paper."
Whitecloud is the first Indigenous NHL player from the Sioux Valley Dakota Nation.

I'm proud to announce I'm joining the Yahoo Canada NHL team!!!

Jennifer Botterill is an amazing addition to the HNIC/SN hockey team. You can disagree with takes she has but too many times I see people crossing the line when talking about her.
Classic Gene Principe. I'm not sure if my eyes tell the story here. But I see a classy veteran media guy giving a younger guy some valuable real estate around McDavid.
After 9/11, Pat Tillman walked away from the NFL to serve in the United States Army. In April of 2004, he gave the ultimate sacrifice.
Remembering him and all the heroes who have died serving our country today🇺🇸

No, the Oilers should not consider a player who was suspended in his hockey career for being racist towards his own teammate and has spouted very dangerous views. Absolutely not.
Matt Rempe's story is fun but he should not feel at 21 he has to fight every single night against every single heavyweight with what we know about head trauma in 2024
Call me soft all you want, but a 21-year-old kid looking like this after a total of 15 minutes of ice time should not be allowed.
His brain isn’t even close to fully developed. CTE is no joke.

What is this supposed to mean, Steve? You disrespected Black hockey players in 2022. Wayne has every right to check you now even with this piece you wrote in the past. Have some shame and delete this tweet.
Every. Single. Game. He's committed and the rest of the non-POCs on the Wild have to be. Real change starts by supporting this dude 24/7 when the cameras are on.
Absolutely disgusting. One of Akim's coaches is why we are here with his blatant racism that was exposed. Another sad excuse of a feature disgusted as journalism from Simmons.
All season long the Oilers have been great about giving alumni a welcome back tribute and the same was just done for Jujhar Khaira as he returns to Edmonton in a Blackhawks jersey.

Do not erase elements of them because talking about race in hockey makes YOU uncomfortable.
They both are proud of their backgrounds and what it means to be Black in this sport, and especially don't tweet that to a Black person in the hockey media landscape. Thank you.
"I'm not sure why you're pushing this with us". A quote from a real NHL team's PR staff. Do you see why people see Hockey Is For Everyone as a hollow program?
It is too much, apparently.
I've reached out to at least 6 NHLers, incl Crosby/McDavid multiple times, this season asking to chat about race & been rejected. Pens PR: "I’m not sure why you are pushing this with us"
I've asked NHL why plyrs remain silent & not gotten a response
To everyone who messaged me publicly or DM'd me from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU! I'm good now and I read IT ALL. We all have to be strong and call this out if we see it every, single, time.
The Edmonton Oilers never forgetting their past when it comes to the amount of Black players that have skated for them has always been amazing, and having the Black alums rock these Black History Month jerseys designed by AJA Louden is so cool

#Oilers
As much as there were Oiler errors, the officiating standard this postseason across various series in this first round including EDM-LA has been baffling stuff. Which coach take a fine first for calling it out?
When a 19-year-old says this and lists fighting as one of the reasons he's retiring, I cannot sit here and asks for anything less than a total ban on fighting in the CHL.
19-year-old Lane Hinkley: “Too many hits, too many punches, too many concussions that I didn’t properly heal from. The doctor said my MRI showed there is a 25mm by 17mm lesion on my brain… Currently, I am at risk for CTE and early dementia.”

Frank, respectfully, what price did he pay? He was drafted in the first round and will be playing in the NHL. It sounds like yes he wants to learn and be better but I'm going to push back on that idea.
@big_business_
Atlanta could be up 18-0, in the bottom of the 9th and have Houston to their last strike and they wouldn't celebrate until the final out
In terms of PR and a hockey move there were far better names out there to be the new Oilers GM. This is a giant own goal and by the org you've got a rightfully furious fanbase. No I don't believe this will just blow over.
#FlaPanthers
Eric Staal post-game, when told there is photographic evidence of him wearing a pride jersey in Montreal:
“I haven’t before. I never have. … I haven’t worn a pride jersey before.”
(Staal wore No. 21 with the Canadiens during the 2020-21 season.)
Hi! Quick message, if you're one of the people who in my replies telling me to "get over" the racism and abusive acts of Bill Peters you're getting blocked and reported. I don't have time for you to tell me how to feel about a man who should never be involved in hockey again.
The Hockey Hall of Fame ceremony is cool and there's plenty of deserving players who should be in but the gender rule has to be dropped. A two-woman cap still being upheld is ridiculous.
If you don't instantly push back and call out Shaw for this horrific take in the interview you are not doing your job as podcast hosts. This is disgusting.
Sorry, Bill Peters can save those tears and I'm so dissapointed in the WHL giving him this platform KNOWING he has yet to speak directly with Akim Aliu
