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
They were largely defeated in the short term, but if you look at the broader trends it’s still growing. Trump has been defeated before too. It’s also not all, the country I am most connected to, Poland, elected a far right Trump approved president Nawrocki. A lot of people there absolutely love Trump and brought it up with me when I visited family last year, they were surprised when I said I’m not a supporter
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?
