That’s wild to hear. I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy. It’s heart breaking to hear the ethical hockey players are choosing a more aggressive approach to politics. The “might makes right” viewpoint.

It you are playing hockey the goal is finding a solution not just hurting people until you win.

Very disappointing.

Satire.

Hockey is globally perceived as the winter white privilege sport. Tennis is the summer counterpart though I'd argue tennis is less homogenous.

Which is weird because tennis has one of the lowest entry costs of any sport, provided your municipality provides public nets.

I hope this is a joke

The comment ends with saying it's satire.

Hockey is the sport of peace, they are all intellectuals and their opinions on politics should always be considered relevant. /s
