I would like to preface today’s pre-Walk piece by making it clear that the following represents solely my own thoughts and not those of either Hockey Wilderness or SBNation.
Yesterday, I included an article about San Jose Sharks forward Joel Ward (a favorite player of mine when I lived in DC and he played for the Washington Capitals) being open to taking a knee during the national anthem, as Colin Kaepernick and other professional athletes have been doing. It inspired a dialogue in the comments. I’d like to commend everyone involved with it for remaining respectful and open-minded.
