A disgusting gesture in the UHL was made towards American Jalen Smereck… This is embarrassing and pathetic for hockey. @IIHFHockey needs to step up here. pic.twitter.com/cSqxBKVC4k

Jalen’s a minor leaguer playing in the incredibly corrupt Ukraine Hockey League. Nice guy. Tries hard and happens to be black, so that gesture is a real issue.
Jalen is the property of the Arizona Coyotes and doesn’t deserve to have his fucking race mocked when he’s working so fuck this guy. He’ll probably never play again in that league BUT, it is Ukraine so he may be made captain.

In the context of our time, this might be the worst thing I’ve seen in a while. There’s a calm premeditation there that’s telling.
One thing I know: racists are scientifically dumber than people who aren’t.
So, this guy, Andrei Deniskin. is a dumb fuck.
