and to the question of whether I'd want an athlete who's a white nationalist to use his platform . . . First off, I'd probably be pretty disappointed that he was into all this. And I freely acknowledge that bad speech cases are among the most difficult.

I guess I'd say, I occasional want dirty laundry aired in public so we can talk about it. I don't want it aired in public all the time.

That's a solution. Do it beforehand, and don't show it on tv.

What do you mean "solution"? That implies there's a problem, so what's the problem?

LNH is trying to sell a false equivalence between white power and black power, and asking what we'd say if a player gave a white power salute. It would be funny, I'll admit.

Th equivalent was this jokers attempt at publicizing "all lives mater"
