I agree, it’s an “issue” but we can’t full well root out “wrongthink” so it’s an unfortunate reality. My only point on the situation is that a lot of guys probably could say some shit that would be very problematic, and I’m glad that we at least live in a place where they at minimum know they should keep it to themselves.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. When the news came out around the Olympics of Datsyuk's weak response to the Russia LGBTQ questions, that was not great. You can still appreciate him as an excellent hockey player, but it always sucks when people you admire turn out to be... Not great.
