NHL Under Fire for Racist Social Media Post

The NHL made another distasteful post on Twitter. What seems to be a heartwarming post celebrating the success of a German goalie is actually completely wrong.

Here's the post:

At first glance, there's no problem here.

But there's a major issue.

Greiss was actually banned from the national German team because of his anti-Semitic opinions.

Since the NHL made that post, many people showed their frustration.

As a Twitter user said, it's not too late to delete the post. Someone in the communication team obviously didn't do a thorough job here.
