If the gov't really wanted to stop the war...they just need to ban the Russian hockey players from playing in the NHL>..it's simple!!! The big time Russian hockey players have a heavy voice in Russia but they're more concern about making $$$ than to speak up and tell their phacken President to stop the war! Remember, Putin is a major backer of the KHL as well!!!
Do you know who Max Schmelling is? He fought Joe Louis for the heavyweightbelt and lost. He was not a very big advocate of the Nazi regime. Hitler had him conscripted and transferred to a German parachute division. The lesson? No strong (aka totalitarian) leader would let any athlete critique his vision of the nation and get away with it. If you really think a bunch of athletes playing a 3rd rate sport like hockey have that kind of clout, then you must be Canadian. Hockey is ranked 5th in North America after football (37%), basketball (11%), baseball (9%) and soccer (7%)...as far as sports are concerned.
