    Kneeling started in hockey now..Players Kneel During National Anthems

    Stars and Golden Knights Players Kneel During American and Canadian National Anthems in EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Players from the Vegas Golden Knights and Dallas Stars knelt on the ice before their game Monday to support Black Lives Matter and other social causes.

    Dallas forward Tyler Sequin and Jason Dickinson knelt alongside Vegas forward Ryan Reaves and goaltender Robin Lehner during the American and Canadian national anthems prior to their round-robin playoff game.

    Minnesota’s Matt Dumba on Saturday became the first NHL player to kneel during the U.S. anthem, after he made a speech before a game between Edmonton and Chicago. He knelt at center ice while fellow Black players Malcolm Subban of Chicago and Darnell Nurse of Edmonton each stood with a hand on one of his shoulders.

    Dumba’s Wild faced Vancouver the following night, and he raised his right fist in the air during the U.S. and Canadian anthems.

      When they feel it in the bottom line they'll change their ways.

          I can--it shows support for BLM terrorism, & contempt for those who merely came to see a hockey game without wishing to participate in a political event.

            It also turns off fans -- and the purpose of professional sports is to make money from fans.

                When Kaepernick starts standing for the national anthem, heads will explode!

                  Used to be a watchable sport until like football, the main goal
                  seemed to be the physical hurt of the other team members.

                  I watch only Boxing where at least the guys are honest about
                  trying to hurt each other, and Tennis.
