Christian Science Monitor…I Don’t Know What You Are.

    I’ll admit I don’t read Christian Science Monitor. Is a left wing publication? Right wing? I don’t know.

    

    I will admit that the picture associated with this article on fighting in hockey made me laugh…awkwardly. Why? Because pictured are two black men fighting in the NHL. Honestly. I’ve seen a fair number of hockey games. I bet I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen two black players present on both benches, let alone on the ice.

    

    So I wonder editorially, are they saying,”Look Canadians- Black, White, and Inuit play this sport.” or are they saying, “Look, Black Guys Fighting.”

    

    I don’t really care. It just seems odd. No one thinks twice in Football, Basketball, and Baseball to see a black athlete. However the same can’t be said for Hockey and NASCAR. I believe you have to go through great pains to find a photo of two non-white players duking it out.

    

    I’m not calling the CSM racist. Just seems odd.
