BLAX News: All Black Hockey Team Forced To Share Tournament Title After A Scoring Dispute

The celebration of a notable first for the "Anderson Consulting Alabaster Hockey Tournament" quickly dimmed days later. It was surprising enough that an all Black hockey team had traveled into unfamiliar territory and boldly entered the tournament where few other Blacks had ventured.  The fact that their performance was good enough to win the entire tournament sent shock waves through the circle of hockey fans that live and breath the sport, protecting its integrity.

With the sport of hockey so closely affixed to their culture the thought that THEIR sport being taken over like basketball and football have been was quite disturbing to the loyalists. 

Chatter on the numerous Hockey blogs upon the Internet blew up with the news of the all-Black team's victory.  The sight of the Black captain of the team skating around the rink, holding up the tournament cup was one of the most downloaded video in YouTube's history.    No one is sure if the video was being viewed out of praise for the team's accomplishment or scorn over the encroachment of this team on sacred ice.

No one contests the fact that here was a "level plane of ice" that all who participated in the tournament were treated it.   In fact, immediately after the tournament, all of the losing teams petitioned that theZamboni used during the championship game that featured the all-Black team be dismantled and inspected to insure that the ice that it resurfaced did not give the winning team an unfair advantage.  No advantages were found.  The ice that it put out of the machine was JUST AS COLD for the winning all-Black team as the all-White teams who they had beaten.

In the final assault upon the all-Black team, Arthur Anderson - the sponsor of the tournament admitted that its judges made an error in the tabulation of the final scores.   Five days after giving the All-Black winning hockey team the large check for its victory - they learned that in fact they must share the title with an all-White hockey team due to an error in tabulation on the total number of points won throughout the tournament.

Since all of the teams who lost the tournament were not able to destroy the video of the victorious All-Black Hockey team skating around the rink on that fateful day - they used their majority power to put in a rule for next year's tournament - no video cameras allowed in the building.   It will make their job easier when there is no visual evidence.

The All-Black hockey team is not bitter by the results. They were "par for the course".

Instead they plan to take their skills from hockey and apply them to a similar sport: Soccer.

Their key lesson learned from the hockey incident is that they should assume a more defensive position - as shown here:

 

Guard the "Family Jewels" next time.

Proving once again: 

SOME people don't want "EQUAL JUSTICE" in their pursuit of diversity......they want ADVANTAGE.
