A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS-HOCKEY PLAYERS STANDING BEHIND THE PRESIDENT SAYS IT ALL

 I understand he is the President. You laughed at his joke- misogyny at its best. In the boys will be boys locker room

But the picture of all the "boys" smiling behind him sends a clear message.

You support him. You are a Trumper. You are Maga.

Please don't say we are athletes, we do not do politics. 

Yes you do, it is politics. Always and forever.

The players returning to Canadian NHL teams are tainted in my eyes.

Our Toronto Maple Leafs with our America first captain- Auston Matthews is tainted in my eyes now.

He made it very clear. He can be proud to be American. No problem. 

I am a proud Canadian.

But to say he is not political. Well in my eyes you are Maga and a Trumper now.

You supported him.

A pedophile.

A convicted felon.

An administration that wants women to return to the kitchen.

An administration that wants to take the vote from women.

An administration that threatens other countries sovereignty especially Canada and Greenland.

Not political. But no little crumb to validate how Canadians may be feeling.

What is very sad, however, is the fact the President used the team for his own gain, not really celebrating the team but himself.

Ottawa Senators with its American players. How do you feel?

The world geopolitical climate has been thrown on its head. As players you had a chance to support the feelings of the world. 

Being a proud American but also supporting how others are feeling would have been nice.

What I am seeing is many men who had remained silent speaking up and supporting all the women and yes men in their lives. 

Men who are tired of misogyny and being thrown in the bath water with all those men

Thank you for speaking up. Thank your for partnering with women. We are partners in life. Supporting all that is good.

I know it is just Hockey. But the picture counts. Young men supporting him.

I am disappointed as it is the year 2026.

As Canadians, well maybe we will be less supportive of the America only players on our teams. Just saying.
