CANCELED: Ice Hockey Too White!
Let's just hope they don't find out about indoor plumbing

«University cancels intramural ice hockey after ‘equity audit’
SEPTEMBER 11, 2022
A Canadian university has decided to scrub its intramural hockey program after an “equity audit” determined it needs to be more “accessible and inclusive.”
In a statement, Alberta’s Mount Royal University said:
We have recently assessed ice hockey intramurals through our Accessible and Inclusive Programs Audit, an Equity Analysis, our Program Needs Assessment, informal feedback, and observation. Many factors were considered in these assessments which included, but are not limited to, sense of belonging; participant behavior (this includes anything that may lead to a penalty during games); who the program was built by, with, without, and for; equipment requirements; skill requirements; participant fees; ice time cost; program location; staffing; learning opportunities; etc.
The school added its assessment was “crucial” in making sure “all feel they belong,” and that it is “exploring options and strategies as to whether inclusive and equitable opportunities for ice hockey will be possible in the future.” …»
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of checking. Maybe hockey players should claim to be “indigenous,” like this woman:
Nothing like killing off your national sport - go Canada 🇨🇦 Are we observing Canada committing suicide?
Strangely, this sort of thing 'always' seems to go only in one direction...not that it would make it right to spread the misery around to all, but I'm rather doubtful that there will be a similar hysteria directed at basketball teams, football teams and other sporting entities that tend do lean more toward black player majorities. This follows the general trend in academia of avoiding the concept of merit entirely and making all decisions through the corrupt race/gender/wokeness lens, and it flies in the face of the entire purpose of team sports and of the public's interest in them.
America has always been about encouraging the best to rise to the top and I don't believe this decision will be appreciated by those outside of the University Wokeness Bubble, but then I don't believe the administrators who make such decisions care at all. They obviously are fully aware of the complete collapse of ratings and public interest in football and other pro sports after the BLM/kneeling idiocy gained steam and they go ahead with this madness in spite of years of proof that the public doesn't like it...at all.
It's almost as though these highly renumerated administrators and staffers were thinking to themselves "What can we do to REALLY stick it to White people?" That appears to be primarily what most of academia is about these days, and we will suffer mightily for it in the future. With airlines now hiring PILOTS based on race, movies not being eligible for consideration of industry awards if the actors AND everyone else on the movie project are not sufficiently non-white, and books are commonly rejected by publishers if they are not sufficiently 'woke', the afterburners have been switched on as Western Civilization spirals down into the turgid cauldron of another Dark Age.
