After two days of solidarity protest in the fight against racism and police violence, the NHL has continued the play-offs. Before the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins game began on Saturday, the players stood on the ice in Toronto and watched a video that was also seen by viewers. In addition to the scenes from Thursday’s impressive press conference, when several dozen players gathered in the room and spoke out clearly against racism, there were also other anti-racism comments from players.
After that, Tampa Bay created an excellent starting position for promotion to the Eastern Conference finals. The Lightning celebrated a 3-1 win against the best team in the regular season and are now 3-1 in the “Best of Seven” series.
The NHL joined the protest that started in the NBA on Thursday a day late. In the strongest basketball league in the world, the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their play-off game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, sparking a historic wave of sports protests in the United States. They had been joined by players and teams from the WNBA (women’s basketball), MLS (soccer), MLB (baseball) and the New York Tennis Masters.
