The NHL's marketing problem goes beyond Florida, Carolina and maybe even Seattle making it to Round 3.
The sport is way too niche, has too many gatekeepers, promotes a shitty culture, isn't diverse enough, and hasn't changed its reputation among casual fans and outsiders.

So.
If this is a gesture that can be misinterpreted to the point where, if directed at a person of colour, they could deem it as something racist...
Why hasn't anyone suggested that no one should do this to avoid any issues being misinterpreted?
Racism is awful. Racism in sport is awful. But what IF that’s not what happened here? What IF Panetta is being truthful & his actions were misinterpreted? I don’t know Jacob at all and maybe there is more info that has yet to come out… 1/2
