Manitoba’s Kerri Einarson attended a seminar about racism and inclusivity in sport. Now, she has experienced it first\u002Dhand.
“It’s terrible to receive those.”So she, Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and Briane Harris — four-time Canadian champs — wore the MMF logo on the legs of their uniforms.“We’re representing Canada. We shouldn’t be representing the Metis,” is how Einarson described the message.“I’m never going to please everyone,” Einarson said. “If people don’t like me, that’s totally fine. They don’t have to. But please don’t tear me down … while I’m laying it all out there, trying to bring gold home to Canada.
Chelsea Carey knows all too well what Einarson has gone through. The Winnipegger has represented Canada at two World Championships. “She’s mean to the team, she’s this, she’s that … it gets personal,” Carey said. “And when it gets personal, it gets really hurtful.”
