    Well, this thread wasn't totally filled with the same talking points by the same people for the same reasons.

    The NHL has told players to plan for cancellation tonight... why now. The NBA has already determined they are resuming their playoffs.

    The problem is it should be the players stepping up and saying they won't play today. The league cancelling games for the players is a copycat move.

    I mean it's still what they had to do and I'm glad they're doing it, but not exactly the way it should have happened.

    The way it happened is that the group that Evander Kane formed... Hockey Diversity Alliance requested it.

    From Farhan Lalji

    https://twitter.com/FarhanLaljiTSN/s...467813888?s=20


    Spoke to @Dreamer_Aliu78 who tells me it was the players who initiated the discussion w/@TheOfficialHDA last night. Scott Laughton, James van Riemsdyk & Kevin Shattenkirk all reached out to Chris Stewart, looking for advice on what to do. It led to today's large #NHL group call

    Players were looking for answers. Felt as though #NHL was putting this in the players hands. Asked if players felt somewhat forced, "Ya, but who cares?" #HDA was very upset yesterday with lack of movement from league, obv alot has changed today.

    Message from #HDA to players, "Don’t let this moment pass, this is bigger than hockey." Next step is to get commitment from #NHL & owners to make meaningful change. Belief is owners have the right relationships, need to make investments & use their networks to sell the message

    And move it to the politics thread?
    Yeah I know it came through the HDA, but it would have had more weight behind it if the players had done it themselves.
    Anyways, end result is something in the meantime.

    I don't think moving this thread matters much. This is at least still sports related.

    Was actually discussing this with some friends, that if bigger media platforms organized a blackout it would spread even further.

    We saw it briefly when IG did the blackout and some apps or websites changed the colour, but imagine if Netflix, Hulu, etc were to just cut the cord for a day?
