Canucks star & wears Blues Lives Matter hat - hockey fans have a meltdown (get it, because hockey, ice, melts - I'm so funny)

Since when did hockey become such a kitty sport. Some highlights from the thread so far:

I have a question for all of the "you can like a player and disagree with their politics" people. Where is the line, then? At what point do a player's political views so egregiously conflict with the culture of the team that it's a problem? Because I can imagine that the line for many people is comfortably short of a fricking Thin Blue Line/Blue Lives Matter hat. Whether you like it or not, sports and politics do intersect. And the character of a team's players is both relevant to the organization and informed by their off-ice/field behaviour. ETA: He's also wearing a Canucks shirt. So yeah, he is fully representing the team and responsible for the image he puts out there. If I were the Canucks FO I would be pissed to have the team brand associated with this nonsense.

Nice hat Miller, you douchebag.
