Whenever we post something about Nyjer Morgan and hockey ? he was a big time hockey player before he chose to go with baseball ? someone comments ? completely innocently and benignly ? that it is unusual to see a black hockey player.
Which, OK. They?re just going with demographic norms here, so it?s defensible. We?ve made the discourse such that we never feel comfortable pointing out the bleedin? obvious, but the fact is that, no, there aren?t tons of black guys who play hockey.
Obviously Nyjer Morgan himself is aware of this, because he made a video explaining that, yes, he as a black guy plays hockey. He then takes the opportunity to explain what other things black guys do. ?It?s pretty stereotypical: ?watch ?Twilight,? play with kitties, etc.
And aww, I love kitties. And after watching this video, I like Nyjer Morgan a lot more than I did before too, ?Twilight? notwithstanding.
