That is extremely generous of you to these people.
No what they were saying is that you are black you don't belong in our hockey game. Also, this isn't the first time he has had basketball chanted at him either. Of listen to the words of the Blackhawks only black player.

“(Hockey is) obviously a (predominantly) white sport,” Duclair said. “You just want to … do what you love every day. There are some ignorant people in this world. You have to deal with that. … It’s unacceptable.”

Smith-Pelly told reporters in Buffalo on Sunday he had heard the “basketball” chant when he was younger and was just as upset then as he was Saturday, when he exchanged words with the offenders.

“I didn’t really tell anyone. I kind of just brushed it off,” Smith-Pelly said. “We’re at a time we can’t brush it under the rug. You have to start calling people out, making sure people see other people’s true colors. I’m just trying to get the conversation started, show whoever these people were, their true colors.”

Duclair said he didn’t feel he had the voice to speak out when he was younger and that he kept his encounters with racism mostly to himself.
