not at all...look at all the other sports black people participate in and excel in. Absolutely nothing to do with physical fitness of a particular race. If their ankles were weak...there would not be that many black football players etc...!
It is just that hockey is traditionally viewed as a "white guy" game by most people (bit like golf) . I have a friend who is Asian and a hockey player and was looked down in the past like "what are you doing here ?".
It is very expensive to join, equipment is very pricey, lots of games schedules....not many people can afford it (am in Canada) but nowadays you see more and more other nationalities joining in.

Maybe we're all going to have weak ankles after kicking the living s*%# out of your uncle. He's a racist and it's not remotely funny. I hope he has fun spooning Don Cherry tonight.

If they have weak ankles, it's from kicking your Uncle in the @ss too many times. D!psh!t.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! hockey is not a popular sport among blacks, its that simple. How many blacks do you see playing soccer or rugsby or volleyball or badminton or swimming or hackesack, or even baseball for that matter,etc. It just doesn't appeal as much as football and basketball. Football players have weak angles so instead of playing hockey they play the most physical sport, which is football. You're uncle is HILARIOUS. I'M STILL LAUGHING. LATER.

No, your uncle's just a racist. If that's true, then there wouldn't be as many black players in the NBA: so many broken ankles after so much jumping.

This is an old racist joke from the 60s. Does your uncle still wear bell-bottom pants?

I'm not so sure all those guys in the NBA who are capable of four foot vertical jumps have weak ankles.

That would be like saying A black playing pool.
That would be funny
He leans to shoot and his pants fall down. Thats why they don't play hockey, they would have to big breezers that they would fall
And then it would be to shoot they would jump to do a backhander...

Your uncle is a racist and has no idea what he is talking about and so are you if you believe him.
