The Winnipeg Free Press reports Jets left-winger Evander Kane on Wednesday clarified comments he made recently to The Hockey News about criticism he receives being race-related. (See Thursday's Hockey Hearsay)
"I think the article will give some good context to what it said," Kane said.
His remarks about race, he said, were a specific reaction about social media.
"In terms of that quote, I'm definitely referring to social media and that sort of stuff," Kane said. "Nobody has ever, and I don't think anybody will ever come up to my face and say anything negative. It's more so on that. Anybody can go on and have a look for themselves.
"Twitter, anything. I don't have a lot of the social media. I have a Twitter account but that's pretty much it.
"Just different things that people can hide behind a computer and say what they want."
Kane said he's ready and willing to accept criticism about hockey at face value.
"No, in terms of hockey criticism, that's part of the job description. That comes with the territory. If you can't handle that, you've got some issues."
