      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.

          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.
