Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba continues to protest against anti-Black racism, systemic racism and the police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, raising his fist during the national anthem prior to Sunday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks.
None of Dumba’s teammates joined him in solidarity, and every player on both the Canucks and Wild stood during the national anthem.
Dumba spoke passionately about the importance of eradicating system racism which has been rooted both in hockey, and more broadly, in society, prior to Saturday’s game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers.
