Evander Kane was recently involved in an act of discrimination to which he confronted it. The entire situation was caught on video and has now gone viral.

Evander Kane recently shared a video on his Instagram story showing a tense encounter between him and another person.

It all started when someone reportedly made a racist remark towards Evander Kane and his friend, suggesting they didn't belong there. This incident is a major reminder that racism is still a battle, even for someone as well-known as Kane.

The situation escalated after a cyclist allegedly spat on Evander Kane's vehicle as they passed by. When Kane confronted the cyclist, the person first denied it, but things quickly turned when they made a hateful comment, which Kane managed to catch on video. Fortunately, Kane's friend, who happened to drive by and stop to help, played a crucial role in keeping things from getting worse.

In his Instagram post, Evander Kane added his own thoughts, giving more context to what happened.

"This cyclist was riding his bike past my vehicle and decided to spit on it as he rode by. And then confronted him as he tried to deny the claim luckily a friend of mine in the area who was driving by, pulled over to intervene in our conversation. This gentlemen then proceeded to tell me and my friend and I quote �you people don't belong here' it's incredibly disappointing. There are people still like this today."

The man in the video stopped arguing once Evander Kane started recording, possibly realizing he might face public backlash. Thankfully, Kane's friend showed up in time to prevent the situation from spiraling out of control.

It's alarming that this type of racism is still happening, even to high-profile athletes like Evander Kane. This incident highlights not just the personal challenges people face but also the ongoing issues of racism in our society.

This unfortunate event is a call for everyone to stand up against racial discrimination and support those who courageously expose such injustices. It reminds us that the fight against racism requires constant vigilance and action.

As for Evander Kane's health, there's some uncertainty as the new season approaches. It's possible he might start the year on LTIR, but hopefully, he'll be back with the team by the playoffs next year if he's unable to start the year.
