A B.C. teacher is calling on people to wear their favourite Indigenous athlete s jersey in support of Edmonton Oilers defenceman Ethan Bear, who received racist messages and comments online following the team s Game 4 playoff loss this week. I m hoping to raise awareness about . . . the things that have been directed towards Ethan, but also finding a positive way to support Indigenous athletes, said Naim Cardinal.
