Get woke go broke you motherfuckers!
The decision of the National Hockey League to bend a knee to the Black Lives Matter agenda is going to be one that is costly in terms of lost business.
This forbidden fact has now been spoken by the CEO of one of the league’s teams who has laid his career on the line by admitting the obvious and acknowledging that the NHL support of BLM is already costing the team business.
Brad Alberts who is the President and CEO of the Dallas Stars stunned those who were in attendance at a press conference by acknowledging that the team was already receiving season ticket cancellations but vowed continued support of the Marxist-inspired cause regardless of the damage to the franchise.
It is akin to the captain of the Titanic calling down to the engine room and giving the order for ramming speed after sighting the iceberg.
Dummies never got it. Fans w/money to buy tickets…your customers…predominantly Republican @realDonaldTrump supporters. We don’t support Marxist, anti-American, domestic terrorists groups like BLM that hate cops & encourage rioting & looting. https://t.co/YBBhfuEh6T

Via The Washington Examiner, “NHL team loses season ticket holders over support for Black Lives Matter”:
Dallas’s professional hockey team lost season ticket holders because of the organization’s support for the Black Lives Matter movement.
The CEO and president of the Dallas Stars, Brad Alberts, said the organization has lost both individual and company accounts but said he stands by the decision to publicly support the movement and supports his players “100% to express their views,” according to the Dallas Morning News.
Alberts did not disclose how many ticket holders the team lost.
“We’re all against the social injustice and racial discrimination that’s going on around the world,” Stars interim coach Rick Bowness said. ”If our players think that this is the best way that they can support that, then they have our full support, and we are proud of the stance that they have taken.”
The NHL postponed Stanley Cup playoff games on Thursday and Friday in an effort to raise awareness of racial injustice. The league joined the NBA, WNBA, MLB, and MLS in delaying and canceling games after Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old black man, was shot by police during an arrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Blake is now reportedly paralyzed.
“Black and Brown communities continue to face real, painful experiences. The NHL and NHLPA recognize that much work remains to be done before we can play an appropriate role in a discussion centered on diversity, inclusion and social justice,” the league said in a statement announcing the game postponements. “We understand that the tragedies involving Jacob Blake, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others require us to recognize this moment. We pledge to work to use our sport to influence positive change in society.”
Like the NBA, the NHL is soon going to find out that while going full “woke” may please activists, far-left media and the twitter mob who they are pandering to are not those who pony-up their hard-earned dollars for game tickets and team merchandise.
They may not understand it yet but professional sports is going to pay dearly for their advocacy of what many see as a domestic terrorist group and a racist one at that. .
