Florida Politics reports:
The Ron DeSantis administration is able to declare victory over a major sports league, which changed plans for a diversity job fair in South Florida. The NHL has abandoned plans to hold a job fair that would have opened up opportunities to various groups historically marginalized in the United States.
The so-called “Pathway to Hockey Summit,” to be held Feb. 2 in Fort Lauderdale during the NHL’s All-Star Weekend, was originally tailored to “diverse job seekers who are pursuing careers in hockey,” according to a now-deleted LinkedIn post that raised the ire of the DeSantis administration.
The revised posting eliminates any reference to ethnic, gender, sexual orientation, and military veteran status. “We do not abide by the woke notion that discrimination should be overlooked,” said DeSantis spokeman Bryan Griffin to Fox News Digital.
Read the full article. Attention to the job fair was first raised by the far-right Florida’s Voice, which was founded by a January 6 attendee.

Dishonest media like @RawStory are already trying to cover up progressive discrimination.
Glad the @NHL has done the right thing and changed the invite, but shame on those media rushing to lie about what happened. https://t.co/iHXOW1mKRO pic.twitter.com/iHlg9VTR61— Bryan Griffin (@BryanDGriffin) January 14, 2023
Florida is where woke goes to die. https://t.co/FENkJEcY7D
