When I first learned there are dozens, hundreds, thousands of Confederate statues in the USA, I couldn’t believe it. The slave-owning losers of the Civil War had statues erected for them? They have monuments to traitors and racists up and down their streets. “Unbelievable,” I said.
Similarly, when I first learned that Bobby Hull, Bobby Hull, had a statue in Chicago I couldn’t believe it. He’s no traitor, and I’m pretty sure he’s never owned a slave, but there is a deep stain on hockey’s image with his name on it. “Unbelievable,” I repeated.
