The Associated Press has done it yet again:
This entire story is embarrassing.

When it comes to sports, nobody can ruin things like the woke Left with media assistance (and the sports leagues that allow themselves to become infiltrated by leftism).
Here’s the latest example:
The NHL's first internal demographic study found its workforce to be overwhelmingly white.
Kim Davis, NHL EVP of social impact, growth and legislative affairs, says seeing the numbers is a first step toward fixing the problem.

It was inevitable, right?

More hot takes via the AP incoming:
The NHL for the first time has done an internal demographic study of its staff and all 32 teams, and the results show that hockey has a lot of work to do to increase diversity at all levels.
The report released Tuesday found that 83.6% of the NHL’s workforce is white and that men make up nearly 62% of the total, based on the 4,200 people who participated in a voluntary and anonymous survey (about 67% of all employees).
That nearly mirrors the situation on the ice, where more than 90% of players and nearly all coaches and officials are white.
“The whole purpose behind doing a workforce study is to provide a baseline: a fact-based baseline so that you can begin to develop very intentional and specific strategies around where you need to hire, how you need to hire, how you need to improve your brand,” said Kim Davis, the NHL’s executive vice president of social impact, growth and legislative affairs. “This is a good start, but there’s a ways to go.”
Buck Sexton would like to know if it’s just the NHL that’s problematic:
Do all pro sports leagues need to increase “diversity” or just the NHL? https://t.co/H62WOjcA3o

Are there similar analyses of the NBA’s racial makeup?
NBA is overwhelmingly black. No one cares, and that’s good. Get over race already.

When will they work on the lack of diversity in the NBA? https://t.co/fmubTbRfKQ

Key question: Which specific white people should be fired in order to increase the number of non-white people in the NHL? https://t.co/yI4JHiGvNw

In a shocking turn of events, the person whose job is to reduce or eliminate the number of white people in an organization says the NHL has too many whites. https://t.co/pMZOMd5Diu

Is the race of Zamboni drivers also taken into consideration here, or no?
Yes, most hockey players are white. pic.twitter.com/pWweYfGSnS

Imagine having to do a study to determine this.

How much is the NHL paying in order to have somebody point out the obvious?
Fixing non existent racism with actual racism

It never fails!
Here’s the next assignment for the AP:
Black people are 13% of the US
The NBA is 73% black
The NFL is 60% blackWondering if @AP_Sports considers this a “problem” that needs “fixing” pic.twitter.com/BOTtRvcieX

I won’t hold my breath waiting for that report to come out.
