However, despite any shortcomings he may have, it is not acceptable for fans to direct racist comments toward him.
One fan, who goes by the username "Megan" (username_1), recently made racist remarks towards Kane on Twitter in response to a story about him.
While Kane may not be a fan favorite for some, this does not excuse such behavior.
It is unacceptable to resort to racist stereotypes against black people, and this kind of classless behavior has unfortunately been seen time and time again by NHL fans without consequences.
Kane may not be perfect, but he deserves to be treated with respect and dignity like any other player.
