Dallas Stars’ Jason Robertson speaks on his Filipino heritage & inspiring others ❤️🇵🇭
Growing up, were there many or even any players of Asian heritage that you looked up to? Uh, I’d say the only one would probably Paul Korea because he played for the the Ducks growing up. Uh, I know he’s a Japanese descent, so that’s kind of neat. When I was growing up in LA, you know, the majority of the kids were Hispanic, you know, Asian. So, when I grew up, I didn’t think anything of it. my mom and you know her her side of the family there might not have been an ice rink you know when she was growing up in the Philippines anywhere so they didn’t know anything what hockey was so now it’s it’s pretty fun where you know my grandmother who’s in her late ‘8s is like watching hockey she came to my games in Anaheim my extended family you know they all watch hockey now they’re big into it it’s uh and they love it I have a lot of kids of people come up to me and be like oh you’re Jason Robertson and you know they’re Asian they want a picture or you know I remember going to a game in the during the season I saw a Filipino flag so it it is awesome being one of those people that know people look up to that’s pretty special and it’s kind of inspiring [Music]

Quels sont, selon vous, les facteurs qui influencent le succès de votre contenu sur YouTube ? 👅💋
Really enjoyed your work with sound! How do you select music for your videos? 👄😻👅
Si notre quotidien était aussi amusant que de regarder cette vidéo, je ne me lasserais jamais des relations😛
Big love from Minnesota
Why is it the first thing they always jump to his race the NHL needs to not
Shoutout Kristi Yamaguchi for no reason at all
I work security at the Honda center. Got a chance to meet him and he’s an awesome young man. Very polite and just a genuine person
What a loser question who cares America is a melting pot ❤ you may think that a nice question but it’s racism
I like this guys game. Kariya and Selanne were a force. I’m so old I go back to Jim Paek with the Penguins.
Robo is my favorite non-Avs player in the league. Such a classy young man and a fantastic player. Plus, since my wife is Filipina, she adores Robo and even has an autographed photo of his. Much love, Robo!
Bruh nobody cares man
He’s Asian and he grew up in LA !!! WOW !!!! This guy really did beat all the odds !!! Talk about over coming adversity !!!!
Love him, as a person, as a Filipina in winnipeg, very proud of him representing the filipino culture ❤️
We love you Robo
They made it about race. He made it about hockey. That’s why he is as good as he is.
Filipinos are not Asian, but I get it. Mickey Mouse sports network has to try to get clicks anyway they can.
Can we talk about anything without having to talk about race?
Yes ESPN everything’s racist
Sounds like a DEI failure to me…
I met his parents .. they parked right beside me at a Dallas vs Anaheim game .. very nice down to earth people
Let's make everything racial and a sob story.
Was he drafted at 15….he looks so young
He seems very genuine
