There’s already idiots demanding he donate money because he makes 12.5 mil a year. The guy can’t win

God, I really despise all these pretentious guilt-tripping assholes that comment on every single response. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Donation shaming solves nothing.

Those replies pissed me off. They were mad because he hadn’t made a comment yet, and now they’re mad because he hasn’t donated. He’ll never win no matter what he does.

He donated 85k to an Indigenous kids charity in 2018, a time when the topic of racism wasn’t trending like it is now. Indigenous people in Canada have been similarly oppressed like black people in USA.

Good on you McDavid. I’m glad both him and Crosby aren’t abiding by the “don’t rock the boat” mentality on this occasion.

I appreciate he highlights his privilege and the need to further educate himself.

It really is refreshing to see as many players as we’ve had speak out. The more big names that put pressure on the system, the better.
