The Daily Caller brought the news of the this last major sport falling.
Four NHL players kneeled during the national anthem Monday night prior to the Dallas Stars playing the Vegas Golden Knights.
According to Mike Leslie, Stars players Tyler Seguin and Jason Dickinson and Vegas players Ryan Reaves and Robin Lehner all took a knee during the anthem.
At least it’s not widespread in the NHL like the NBA. But, it’s still unacceptable. The NHL is a private employer and should not be allowing this to take place. They have drawn their line in the sand, now I’ll draw mine.
I had *just* deleted my scheduled DVR recordings for MLB and added the NHL. Guess I’ll have to delete that now too.
