No matter where you are in the world, there is going to be racism.
There are going to be racists.
You can’t bury your head in the stands.
Andrei Deniskin is facing disciplinary action from the Ukrainian Hockey League after footage showed him making a disgusting racist gesture toward Black American defenseman Jalen Smereck of HC Donbass.
In the second period of their game on Sunday, Deniskin shouted at Smereck and then could be seen mocking the unpeeling of a banana and eating it.
Deniskin went on IG to say he wasn’t aware that what he was doing could be considered racist.
Considering that no one randomly insults people by randomly eating a banana, I find that hard to believe.
The UHL says they will hand out discipline shortly.
