Over the weekend, the DeSantis administration got the NHL to fold on a local hiring event aimed at diversifying the league’s workforce ahead of its annual All-Star Game.
. The event called for applicants from underrepresented backgrounds, including anyone identifying as “female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability.”“Discrimination of any sort is not welcome in the state of Florida, and we do not abide by the woke notion that discrimination should be overlooked if applied in a politically popular manner or against a politically unpopular demographic,” the DeSantis spokesman said.
“The governor sees this issue as an easy one to use as an example of hypocrisy by folks on the left as well as another example of woke culture,” a GOP strategist told The Daily Beast, requesting anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press by their current employer. “It’s a great play to make.”
“It’s like anything in this new age of social media and instant reactions, but the big corporations and the NHL are going to try and step on as few toes as they can,” a former sports executive told The Daily Beast.According to a league insider, there’s no serious consideration at the moment for the NHL to pull the All-Star Game from Florida, likeafter Georgia adopted restrictive new voting laws.
