A popular group sports blog cut an anonymous hockey blogger’s page from their site after it suggested that the NHL only added black players to the All-Star Game to attract black fans.
The page, sponsored by the popular Kukla’s Korner group sports blog site and called “The Puck Stops Here,” was eliminated after the January 11 posting.
The post charged the NHL with “preferentially selecting black players,” for the All-Star Game with the sole purpose of “recruiting black hockey fans.”
As of 2014, black players made up about 30 out of the 690-some players in the National Hockey League. That means that black players comprise about 5 percent of the NHL. With four black players at once on the All-Star roster, the writer of the blog found the number somewhat suspicious.
The blogger also considered these players unworthy of inclusion saying, “I argue that none of the four are playing well enough that they should be in the game based on their play so far this season.”
