Matt Dumba Subjected To Racial Slurs & Discrimination

Minnesota Wild defenceman and Hockey Diversity Alliance member Matt Dumba has used his platform to stand up for racial inequality and LGTBQ+ issues. While he has received much support for this initiative, he has been also been subjected to racial slurs and discrimination.

Dumba was interested in having his vehicle shipped to Arizona and consulted a shipping company. However, the shipping company would not ship his vehicle because they dislike him kneeling during the national anthem. They continued with racial slurs and insults before ending the phone call. Instead, two valets at his apartment heard about this story and volunteered to drive it down.

He said two valets at his apartment heard the story and jumped in the car and drove it down.

"There's going to be those haters. I've got too many good people around me that support everything I'm doing. It don't faze me."
