Most children, probably by the age of 10, have learned the lesson that the worst way to placate bullies is to give them what they want.
This truism apparently escaped the notice of the National Hockey League, which turned 105 in November. Otherwise, why would the NHL capitulate so cravenly to America's outstanding political bully, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis?
The focus of DeSantis' bullying was an NHL job fair that was open, according to a post in the league's LinkedIn page, to "participants aged 18 or over, based in the US, who identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability."
