> about the women not being any better was referring to, specifically racism

Before the ayrt clarified, I had no idea that they were referring to racism specifically. There was a fairly long thread about homophobia happening at the same time, which might be why the anon upthread pointed out that professional women hockey players tended to support LGBT issues, while professional men hockey players were less likely to do so.

Or maybe I'm just sheltered, and the racism was clearly inferred ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought it was pretty clear??? It doesn't say racism explicitly, but... but someone says they're upset about hockey's takes on Kaepernick, there's no need to generalize that? Maybe you are sheltered, maybe it's that fandom is usually more preoccupied with general "social justice" in a "your fave is problematic!" way that makes it seem natural to want to lump these issues together in conversation and to counter one way in which someone's ""bad"" with another way in which they're ""good."" Idk.

(But also, in retrospect, maybe it was clearer to me because I think I know what tweets OP was specifically referring to re: women players, which, if you didn't know about, also makes it more vague.)

ayrt

Yeah, I hadn't seen the tweet you referred to, so I hadn't made the connection.

But you're also right. I tend to stay away from social media accounts with views I don't agree with, so it's probably confirmation bias on my part that I think everyone thinks like me.
