The NY Rangers finally released a statement on Twitter about the George Floyd murder and about racism. Suffice it to say, the statement missed the mark.
The eloquence and complexity behind such a two sentence statement really shows why it took Dolan two weeks to approve its PR release.
If I understand the workings of how the Rangers release statements properly, then this went through multiple layers of approval before being released. The statement was an attempt to at least “do something” while also keeping Dolan’s wish to stay silent.
A statement itself, or at least a more detailed statement, doesn’t necessarily do much, but it at least addresses the situation publicly.
