We need to properly educate our country about black history. I’ve seen too many NHL players have to deal with racism.

the announcers sound so out of touch

"thankfully devontae kept cool out there, and should be able to breakdance well enough to save the rec center."

Very unfortunate. Like baseball pre-Jackie Robinson. As a rule, most rabid sports fans aren't very high up on the evolution chain.

he needs to learn how to handle his emotions better. since he reacted instead of ignoring, fans will see that they can get him to react now and it will only get harder for him from here on out.

if you are participating in a sport/area where your kind is not usually seen, the onus is on you to take the high road in these situations. its 2018, can you imagine if this is the type of guy that had to break the color barrier in baseball?

i didnt see much in that video.

yao ming, jeremy lin went through tougher fan abuse than that.

eminem trying to break into the rap game went through tougher abuse than that.

"devontae" needs to control his emotions better.

Speaking of hockey has there ever been a hockey player turned boxer?
