Gross, he's a Leafs fan.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Awesome. Dogg Cherry the only Cherry.

 

[Rob Brown]

This is the best.

 

[Mr Serious]

Make him commissioner.

The dumbest suggestion I have seen on this board.

 

[HanSolo]

Gross, he's a Leafs fan.

I think he just likes hockey.

 

[Kranix]

How much (in millions) is the NHL paying Snoop to do this stuff?

I don't know man. Considering the celebrities and musical artists they usually nab for PR, I doubt they have a big budget for stuff like this.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Oh, cool...NHL is trying to attract the African American community. Always good to diversify.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

I think he just likes hockey.

How do you not post the first picture we ever saw of Snoop in a hockey jersey?

(The one of him in the Pens jersey in the Gin n' Juice video.)

 

[LeafGrief]

Awesome! Glad they're not allergic to him after a few All-Star f-bombs

Just stop. I'm done with you. Looking for a racist fight like you're in 3rd grade. Grow up.

Says the person who wrote, "Oh, cool...NHL is trying to attract the African American community. "

If you were genuine in saying that it's great that the NHL is trying to be more diverse, cool. I just asked if you had a problem with it, because of your sarcastic tone.

Not calling anyone a racist here but just think it's a bit weird to think it's automatically an attempt to attract black folk if a black artist likes hockey

What an utterly dumb thing to say.

 

[karnige]

What an utterly dumb thing to say.

I mean hes not wrong. NHL definitely could stand to attract more african american viewership. its no secret.

As an aside....I wish we could all hear text...might make for a lot less emojis.
Imagine if we all talked monotone and made stupid faces to show convey....tone

Just attempting to lighten things up....

He's not wrong, no. What gets me is that if the NHL seriously wanted to diversify to the black community as he puts it, I'm sure they would go about it in a more organic, deep rooted, long range plan than basically using an old rapper as a mascot to do it. Snoop first off is not that, hes been a fan of hockey since I can remember and that's all there is to it. He's just another celebrity/rich dude who likes hockey.

The Dogg Father transcends race.

 

[Roomtemperature]

The Dogg Father transcends race.

Either way its a good way to (Snoop) Lionize those to the NHL

Um..it's QUITE obvious that is what they are doing, so i'm a racist for pointing out the obvious? Calm down there. No need to get so easily offended over nothing.

Snoop is just a comedic meme at this point. White corporations just buy his services to act "hip"...it's so forced and full of cringe. He hasn't been relevant in like 20 years. Why not hire Vanilla Ice and Kris Kross too?
