With the conflict in Israel continuing to escalate, the Edmonton Oilers expressed solidarity with Israel. In light of the fact that the team owner, Daryl Katz, is Jewish, it makes sense.
However, fans are right to call out the hypocrisy of the team taking this stance while the NHL removes specialty nights, and special warmups, and bans pride tape.
In order to resolve this conflict, the Oilers may want to re-evaluate why fans are so angry, re-assess, and figure out ways to push back on the NHL for those fans in the margins of the NHL community.
