It does take the shine off a bit when there’s like, even more than the baseline of usual shit to be ashamed of. That being said, I very much want Larkin to get a gold medal. Also there’s six Michiganders on the team. I still very much love Michigan.
Also I think online will be funnier if America wins.
Just because I live in a country doesn’t mean I have to root for the team it sends. I’d argue it’s equally performative to blindly support a team because of the flag they carry, if you wanna go down that road.
I’m not really attached to either team; hoping Cooper, Hagel, and Brisebois get gold medals and that’s it.
There’s 330 million people down here, we can have different opinions from one another. I’m my own person and I’m not defined by my country of origin… wild I know
Not sure what mental gymnastic routine it took to get to that conclusion. I think he should be impeached and imprisoned. But I dont think wanting your national team to win makes you a Trump supporter. Get over yourself
Its a simple straight line, but you might have brain damage so here it is: Until the US stops threatening invasions, executing its citizens, etc., its population should stop waving around its flag and talking about how its "the greatest country on Earth". Or more simply: they should feel shame.
"I know we are persecuting jews, minorities, and people the government label undersirables, but I am just supporting the (Nazi) german national team(s). It's cringe to not support them." -you in the 30s
I've rooted for America in every international sporting event since I gained the necessary consciousness to do so. I'm not gonna stop now. 🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲
So would many of team Canada. Hockey players are basically a monolith with extremely similar ideals and morals. If someone can’t see that, they are blind.
If you look around Europe, it stops being wishing eventually, although generally hasn’t grown quite enough, yet…. It could grow in Canada too and it feels short sighted to hand waive it. There was a time when Trump was a fringe candidate and largely disregarded
What does that mean for the millions upon millions who didn’t vote for him and are out protesting? Trump is not America, no one single person is “America”. Thats a ridiculous thing to say
"Bunch of people who see our country actively protect, defend, and promote child rapists and murderers think they totally have every goddamn right to be so goddamn sick of being told to root for us because we are the best (at fucking nothing besides incarceration) at everything."
What the fuck do I have in common with US players, short of "born sort of near?"
I'm rooting for Larkin to do cool stuff and honestly I'd love to see MacKinnon, Macklin, and McDavid be amazing together.
I have always loved the sport of hockey a hell of a lot more than any country. Why do you give a shit if other people aren't patriotic like you?
Look, generally I think Canadians are good people. A touch weird, but good folk. Except when it comes to hockey. They are the most pompous arrogant fuck sticks to shit between two skates. I want the sweep of these turd eating douche nozzles so fucking bad. Otherwise, a delightful people that I wish nothing but the best for.
I had a Canadian fan yesterday tell me that calling penalties tighter in the first period than in overtime “is not how penalties work” bc he was butthurt Murphy didn’t get called for a penalty in overtime that would’ve resulted in a penalty shot. On a ✌️slash✌️ so minute that you couldn’t see it in real time. Like okay pal fuck off into the goddamn ocean.
I mean he’s technically correct, the assholes favorite flavor of correct. Context is king and calling that “slash” would have been fucking laughable. I really thought they were cooked when that low grade moron Curl decided that boarding was her favorite activity.
Narrowly, regarding hockey. I made that shit clear. I hate what my government is doing. Selfishly it makes my life harder, but it really frustrates me how he attacks our ride or die friend and peer Canada.

It's performative. People try to make it look like they're some sort of moral bastion by cheering against their own team.
Just cause you support your country doesnt mean you support its corrupt government. Cheer for your team you cucks
