Connor Bedard accused of racism by fan, but the truth is that isn't even close to the case
Connor Bedard will without a doubt be selected 1st overall in this summer's NHL entry draft. The unbelievable teenager has done everything asked of him at every level and will definitely be in the NHL next season. This weekend though a fan took to Facebook to try and accuse him of racism.
Well we had quite the evening, kids sure loved it. But here is is my downfall post, I will make a new post with all the pictures of the kids, right here you can clearly see BERDARD raise his arm and stick it's sad because all the kids were so excited to see this guy and he does them all wrong and not even to smile or look friendly at all. These kids cheered so hard for him before he came out and for some of the kids to be disappointed and let down, he goes further down the line and greets other people opposite of our colour.- Our kids, our future hockey players look up to hockey players like this guy and does them like this? I felt for them tbh but that didn't stop them from cheering him on and that goes to show how forgiving and innocent these children are. There was absolutely no need for this joke to do that to us aboriginal people. No need at all!
A full angle of the video shows that at no time does Bedard make contact with anyone but the equipment manager.
In the past Bedard has made it known that the only person he allows to touch either his stick or glove is the team's equipment manager, a superstition he has shared on multiple occasions.
This is just another case of someone trying sully the name of a professional hockey player because their child didn't get the attention they wanted.
