NHL Insider Frank Seravalli Goes Viral For Very Unacceptable Comments
NHL insider Frank Seravalli recently made headlines not for his insights on hockey, but for his sharp response to a fan's unacceptable comments on social media.
In the world of hockey, which prides itself on the integrity and respect of its community, Seravalli's actions were a bold reminder of the values upheld by those within it. Responding to a fan's anti-Semitic remarks aimed at a fellow journalist, Seravalli's message was clear and uncompromising.
"You are a piece of shit," wrote Seravalli. "Pour yourself a big glass of bleach tonight and do us all a favor."
At a glance, Seravalli's words might seem extreme, but they came in defense of a colleague subjected to baseless and hateful comments. The offensive tweet, which sparked Seravalli's reply, attacked his colleague following a seemingly unrelated hockey discussion about the NCAA's role in the sport.
The shock of the fan's unprovoked hate speech aimed at Seravalli's colleague was a jarring departure from the usually respectful exchanges in the hockey community. In this light, Seravalli's fervent defense offers a glimpse into the often unseen battles against bigotry faced by public figures and reinforces the sport's commitment to dignity and respect.
