Ah, alright, no worries. I know there are various levels of antiracism and racism within the sport. The subreddit does seem alright though. I seem to remember a post or two where racism was discussed and racist people in the comments were shut down.
I play in a local outdoor inline roller league but it's mostly white bread around here (myself included). The guy who is currently running it essentially has a gear library type system in place which reminded me of the series of podcast that the Srsly Wrong guys did about something they called Library Socialism. Most people who have the means throw him a few hundred dollars after a while since he pays for all the gear himself that he finds used on ebay.
Through his efforts, the kids league had grown to nearly 200 kids prior to the pandemic. This is in an area with about 50k population in the county.
Dear, Ron MacLean
Dear, Coach's Corner
I'm writing in order
For someone to explain
To my niece, the distinction
Between these mandatory pre-game group rites of submission
And the rallies at Nuremburg
Specifically the function
The ritual serves in conjunction
With what everybody knows
Is in the end a kid's game
I'm just appealing to your sense of fair play
When I say
She's puzzled by
This incessant pressure
For her to not defy
Collective will
Yellow-ribboned lapels
As the soldiers inexplicably rappel
Down from the arena rafters
If not so insane
Would be grounds for screaming laughter
Dear, Ron MacLean
I wouldn't bother with these questions
If I didn't sense some spiritual connection
We may not be the same
But it's not like we're from different planets
we both love this game so much
we can hardly fucking stand it
Alberta-born, prairie-raised
Ain't a sheet of ice north of Fargo I ain't played
From Penhold to the Gatineau
Every fond memory of childhood that I know
Is somehow connected
To the culture of this game, I can't just let it go
I guess it comes down to
What kind of world you want
To live in
If diversity is disagreement
Disagreement is treason
Well, don't be surprised if we find ourselves reaping
A strange and bitter fruit
That sad old man beside you
Keeps feeding to young minds as virtue
It takes a village to raise a child
A flag to raze the children
'Til they're nothing more than ballast for fulfilling
A madman's dream
Of a paradise
Complexity reduced to black and white
How do I
Protect her from
This cult of death?
/r/NBA does well with the easy stuff. It’s when they encounter anything mildly inconveniencing to the median NBA redditor (middle class Straight white college male) is when they go mask off reactionary
I know we like shitting on reddit and there are lots of chuds there too, but it seems like the NBA subreddit is with them
And the Lakers and Trail Blazers too Seems like some people won't get their circuses tonight.

NHL is not chud central it probably has more leftists than the MLB and NFL
I'm listening, tell me more. I was aware of some racism in the NHL and hockey in general so this would be good to hear about.
okay I don't really know tbh all I know is that I'm a leftist and like hockey and the subreddit is not awful most of the time.

Weird i didin't see any issue with the hockey sub (except if we don't count that these posts have to be regularly locked, if that's the issue i agree)

r/NBA is one of the more redeemable subs on Reddit
hockey too, i don't know about nfl but american sports subs are a-ok?
The biggest suprise was r/NASCAR being better on understdanding race issues and BLM and r/formula1 being super racist lol
the f1 community is utterly disgusting in this issue.

Yeah but being worse than the NASCAR fan community is really surprising, don't NASCAR fans tend to be Confederate flag flying chuds?
deleted by creator
But the # fans of NASCAR that are also reddit users is probably pretty small.
We don't talk about the NFL.

The baseball sub is with them and the Brewer's as well... Surprisingly.
