Russian hockey player costume on Halloween outraged American fans

Russian forward of Yaroslavl Lokomotiv Artur Kayumov donned a traditional Arabic costume for Halloween, which caused discontent among American netizens. Their comments are available at Twitter.

The hockey player posed in a tunic and arafat, holding a Kalashnikov assault rifle in his hands. Fans from the United States were outraged by this outfit, believing that Kayumov was trying to recreate the stereotypical image of a terrorist from the Middle East. “Blatant racism. Idiots will never learn anything “,” How can they keep such people, “- wrote the users.

The athlete has been playing for Lokomotiv since 2017. He has played 21 games this season with eight points. The rights to Kayumov in the National Hockey League (NHL) belong to the Chicago Blackhawks. The club chose the hockey player in the 2016 draft.

In October, Canadian ice hockey player Kyle Beach accused former Chicago video coach Brad Aldrich of sexual harassment. After the incident, the general manager of the team, Stan Bowman, left his post.
